Don't do it! Don't do it! I chose them as best value for money when looking at different providers in August 2024. Then a tree came down in Storm Darrah yesterday,... Read more Reviewed on: 9th December 2024

Review of the Tesco Bank, Car Insurance:

Sharks or Incompetent staff, either way we have being shafted

1
Ever felt like you have being shafted as that’s exactly how I feel, because we have for 1 months direct debit. Rang to cancel my car insurance renewal today. We have made 12 monthly payments already. Unfortunately our 13th payment came out Nov 1st 2021 (today) and the actual car insurance expires Nov 7th 2021 which we have already made the 12 monthly payments on, as you never pay for car insurance retrospectively. So I asked if we can have todays direct debit back as we have already made the 12 payments for the 1st year and it was just unfortunate that the 13th payment which covers the first month of the new year that I am cancelling came out today. No matter which way I described it to the person at Tesco Finance, he simply could not grasp or did not want to grasp, that this 13th payment is for the next 12 months renewal which I am cancelling. In the end I gave up frustrated as this individual (being diplomatic) simply could not grasp simple multiplication. They need to employee call centre staff who can do simple mathematic calculations. As they refuse to reimburse this 13th payment. I wont be using or recommending them, quite the opposite. Reviewed on: 1st November 2021

The worst claims process ever, customer service is non existent, still no sign of my car being fixed after 10 days and won’t give you a courtesy car until they’ve got yours in the garage. Use direct line, might be more expensive but the service is super quick Reviewed on: 23rd July 2024

Disgusting shocking call centre useless

Disgusting. Customer Service zero. When call the call centre no managers or supervisors available. Will ring you back no one does. Errors and conflicting information given by every operative. Car insurance automatic renewal DONT they do not carry forwards all previous details. Absolutely shocking service. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2024

Avoid at all costs

1
Absolutely heartbroken over my vehicle and the way my case has been handled. Still had the good grace to send a thank you card because I’m good natured but stabbed me in the back in the end. I don’t recommend. Disparities. Inconsistencies. Intel shocking. Very stressful experience and the end result wasn’t great either. Very unprofessional behaviour became apparent after the claim.

Really poor claims handling.

1
Really poor claims handling. Bungled my non-fault claim from beginning to end. Had to constantly contact for updates and repeat my story each time. Claim wasn't logged correctly initially meaning repairs weren't arranged promptly and was without courtesy car. Then they arranged for and sent for collection of my car whilst I was on holiday despite me specifically telling them the dates I was away meaning I had to to deal with yet more calls whilst on holiday!! Asked to log a complaint officially, which I did over the phone but this was never acknowledged nor any further action taken. And now my renewal is due, and the premium is nearly 50% higher. Cannot wait to take my business elsewhere frankly. Reviewed on: 11th June 2024
