Review of the Tesco Bank, Car insurance:

I am extremely disappointed with Tesco Bank Insurance.

1
I am extremely disappointed with Tesco Bank Insurance. After being a loyal driver with 12 years of No Claims Discount (NCD), I made a claim following an unfortunate accident. Not only did they significantly undervalue my car when processing the claim, but they also slashed my NCD from 12 years down to just 3 years! This feels incredibly unfair and unprofessional, especially as I’ve never had a claim in over a decade. Their customer service is unhelpful, and they seem more interested in taking money than providing fair and transparent services to their customers. I expected much better from a well-known insurance provider. If you’re considering insuring your car with Tesco Bank Insurance, think twice—there are much better options out there that value customer loyalty and offer fairer claims processes. Absolutely not recommended. Reviewed on: 8th January 2025

Dreadful customer service

Don't bother with tesco bank box insurance - very unhelpful Reviewed on: 22nd June 2017

Good service , not competitive

Recently renewed with Tesco but had found a cheaper quote elsewhere. Tesco will not budge WHATSOEVER on their quotes when it comes to renewal. Could've saved a few hundred with another company but their customer reviews were appalling. Ended up sticking with Tesco in the end because of the great service I had received in my first year with them. Reviewed on: 22nd June 2017

excellent car insurance company

Expensive renewal rate

Tesco had offered me the best price for my first 2 years of driving and I wanted to stay with them as i felt loyal to the service they'd given me. The third time I went to procure with them there prices were far higher than the previous years even though my premiums should have been significantly reduced. I even went back to them with my lowest offer to see if they'd match but they refused Reviewed on: 31st May 2017

Tesco car insurance is cheap with great customer service. They requested my no claims discount I sent online easily with no issues. I paid my full years car insurance. Reviewed on: 13th May 2017

Blakes fantastic customer service

I phoned up today as an existing customer, to swap my cars over. I was a bit cautious as the car I wanted to cover is a cooper s instead of my Citroen c1. Blake who professionally dealt with my details, gave me a fantastic deal, and I can say I was very very happy. He was very helpful, friendly and very efficient. My experience talking to him on the phone was pleasant, and I can say I'm a very happy and loyal customer. Thanks Blake. Great stuff! Reviewed on: 12th May 2017
