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

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

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

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
