falsifying mileage data, 0 communication. after an accident although they say 'inform us asap' blah this blah that. these idiots responded almost 2 weeks later and only because the other party had informed them about the accident threatening me that i had not informed them. never mind me their friggin customer who informed them via phone, live chat and even email on the day shortly after the incident. their response to this was as follows ' It was not until the call on 31 August 2016, as well as the complaint investigation, where your attempts to contact our Claims Department were found. Again, I can only apologise for this.' 5 complaints later they had not changed. Their so called managers could not answer simple questions . cancelled policy. then 2 years later when i've moved on with my life happy that i never have to dealt garbage like this ever again. i find out they have kept my account open without informing me and oh apparently i now owe them over 800 pounds. *sigh* 6th complaint. next stop fos.

Think Twice

Terrible service. After a car crash which wasn't my fault, the car went in for repair @ one of Tesco's approved garages. The worst garage I've ever come across... Ever! Car is deemed not safe to drive by the RAC & they tell me it's nothing to do with them anymore...? Engineer was rude, ignorant and patronising. I would urge anyone to think twice before taking out insurance with this disgusting company. They are lovely whilst taking your money, but when it comes to them helping you... It's a different story.

Fantastic!

As a first time driver most prices were dear then was told about Tesco car insurance which I then looked into and it was honestly the best thing I did as the price I got was perfect and so affordable for me. I would most definitely recommend it. Great company unbeatable prices and staff are so helpful when needed. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2018

Young driver, just renewed

I was 21 when I took out insurance with Tesco from recommendation. A year on, I have had no problems whatsoever with them, it has felt as if I didn’t have a black box at all. I received a score from 80-100 each month and when it came to renewing, it was £1000 cheaper than what I paid before. No curfews, and you don’t get punished if you accidentally go a lot over the speed limit.. as long as you realise and bring it back down. Can’t fault it, very pleased.

Ive been using tesco car insurance for over 4 years never had to use them to make a claim. Recently i was involved in a minor car accident not at fault customer service was a joke refusing me a hire vehicle was just the start of this nightmare, over next few days i was told to pay £126 to amend a occupation details or have my policy cancelled wtf... now ive boycotted tesco never to use them again anywhere and ill advise anyone whos thinking of taking car insurance with tesco to reconsider save yourself the headache as tesco simply do not care untill liability has been accepted by third party what a joke of a company stick to selling groceries.
