Tesco Bank Car insurance reviews (527)

Attempt to tow away my car., why was I at fault.

1
There was an unsuccessful attempt to tow away my car which resulted in damage to the front end. I believe the keys were cloned and the alarms turned off. I paid an excess of £1,000 to a total garage bill of under £3,000. The car Audi S8 V10 had a £2K service and then 2 months later I traded it in for an Audi S8 D4. insurance was due on the D4 based non claims bonus based on 50 years no claims was reduced because I was "At Fault" for the attempted theft. HOW? This is just unfair, inequitable. I have pulled our house insurance and today Aug 27th 2024 my wife's car insurance. It was on repeat renewal and Tesco had not advised me this was due except to say the could not take the money. HSBC had sent me a new card. When I asked to cancel the insurance which had expired 3 days before Tesco said "We hope you are aware that it is illegal to drive a car without insurance". I told them, the truth, that I had parked the car on our land (so off-road) and SORNED it before the insurance expired. They charged me £4.10 to cancel the policy in the cooling off period. You can tell I have not cooled off yet. This is not Tesco people this is Tesco Policy from accountants; don't support them. Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

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

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

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
