Review of the Tesco Bank, Car insurance:

Avoid Tesco Car Insurance Terrible Experience!

Avoid Tesco Car Insurance – Terrible Experience! We had our car stolen in September 2025 and went through one of the most frustrating and stressful experiences with Tesco Car Insurance. Despite providing all necessary documents and details, we were constantly passed back and forth between Tesco and their third-party investigation company, with both looking for any excuse not to pay out. For seven months, we were left without a car while raising a one-year-old. We had to rely on Ubers and borrow cars from friends and family because we couldn’t afford a replacement straight away. The lack of support from Tesco only made the situation worse. Every time we called, we were met with excuses: • “We’re missing this information.” • “There are inconsistencies in what you say happened that day.” In January 2025, they finally sent an investigator to our home. He confirmed that everything seemed straightforward and that our claim was valid. Yet, despite this, Tesco still refused to resolve the claim and continued to raise further “concerns” and questions. Tesco Car Insurance has been an absolute nightmare to deal with. Their handling of our claim was completely unprofessional, and their customer service was nothing short of appalling. If you value your time, money, and sanity, avoid Tesco Insurance at all costs. Reviewed on: 21st February 2025

Rip off company, praying in people.

Rip off company, praying in people. Purchased a new car 2024 . Provided a quote by Tesco which was reasonable.

Absolute disgrace. Refuses to accept no claims proof and gave us a week to get it. Emailed us once and they then cancelled. Forst we knew about cancellation was a text message when they said it was cancelled. Refused to reinstate Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Avoid this company .

Joined tesco bank box 6 months ago now. Been very unhappy ever since. The customer service is shocking! The firstly called me numerous of times regarding my car being kept at a different address the whole month which is wasn’t. Then got more calls regarding miles. they charge an extortionate amount of money to add on more miles to the policy. each time i have called them i have never found them helpful. i wanted to raise a complaint to the complaint team and its took them 2 months to get back to me, also not answering anything i have been concerned with. also have tried to call them numerous of times asking to speak to someone regarding my policy and they have said someone will call me back and never have. For a first time young driver i would avoid at all costs. They sell you the dream insurance when taking one out with them. They also didn’t offer to let me pay monthly so wanted the money upfront.
