Review of the Tesco Bank, Car insurance:

money grabbers

i had a claim pending which i notified tesco my insurance policy was due for renewal a few weeks lateri was given a quote some £300 more than previous year so i assumed that they had taken the pending claim into account so i renewed my policy that was back in august 23. I have today received letter from tesco informing me to pay an additional £98 for my insurance to carry on,i phoned tesco to ask how they arrived at the renewal cost back in august and was given the answer that due to data protection they were unable to tell me.I find this ridiculous so i had to pay £98 which i can ill afford being a pensioner there was NO help or explanation from tesco and they will NOT get my custom next year.I feel tesco have treated me very badly and i shall tell everyone i speak to about my treatment given to me by tesco Reviewed on: 18th November 2023

Well managed and competitive.

Tesco Boxins insurance is a really well managed and competitive product that has not let me down. Their black box is not intrusive or annoying and I can actually see the reduction in my quote. They remain unbeaten on price for me and I look forward to continuing with them. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

Happy with them

The prices seem fair and customer support staff have always been helpful. I decided to stay with them when I renewed my car insurance. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Took almost 2 years to resolve a car accident which was frustrating. I would have liked more regular updates too. Submission of the car accident though was easy and customer service was excellent. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Stressless cover and cost.

Both the level of cover and the cost were really good. Customer service and choice was also excellent. Renewal time is always quite stressful but Tesco bank were great. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Easily changed over our car reg. very polite staff and phone manner. They are also very good at keeping you up to date with renewal which you don’t always get with insurance. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Breakdown

I recently broke down. As annoying as it was, the assistance I got was great and I was recovered relatively quickly. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Good to have an actual person to speak to if needed

Had issue with first car and finance company but Tesco were great and helped me sort out new policy. Only gripe would be they don’t have multi car option. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Dreadful useless portal used to check progress of repair. Incomprehensible drivel with appalling use of the English language and often just wrong. lead time for repair indicated 8 weeks so tried to go elsewhere but then you don’t get courtesy car. Paint shop customer service sucked although quality if job satisfactory. system riddled with fault demand answered phone 1 time in 4. Under staffed office working with crap systems. Courtesy car was so slow I was scared to cross a dual carriageway never again Reviewed on: 8th August 2024
