Review of the Tesco Bank, Car insurance:

Worst company everrrrr

1
I had an extremely disappointing experience with Tesco insurance after reporting a flood incident on my car. It took them a staggering three months to send someone to assess the damage. After finally picking up the car and two subsequent calls, they initially claimed it was written off, only to later backtrack, stating there was no water damage, and suggested repairing it. This level of inconsistency and prolonged process is not only frustrating but also detrimental to one's mental health. I strongly advise avoiding Tesco car insurance based on this ordeal.

Complete and utter joke - do not insure your car with them. Had a brick through the back windscreen last night. I tell them and they say my car is a compete write off - got quotes from local car glass companies - £234 to replace the rear windscreen - playing for it myself. Insure with LV Liverpool Victoria - don’t even bother with Tesco Reviewed on: 23rd November 2025

Very poor customer and complaint service

1
There's a reason it's cheap insurance. Which is fine if you don't have to claim. They use a network of repairers that don't know what they are doing. Blaming everyone else! No response to emails. It took over 3 months to get my car repaired. They use the"rapid repair network" ironically. Tesco complaints dept said my complaint wasn't up here, it was other people???

They don't pay, even if zhey admit their liability

1
I don't know if any of my connections had any experience with #TescoInsuranceandMoneyServices , but I had one of the worst ever possible experience. After having an accident with one of their insurers, they advised him not to accept his liability. After 2 years, after my insurer providing photo evidence to justify the liability, they admited their liability but they disagree with the cost of the hire car. Another 2 years have passed and we are waiting for the court in February. Meanwhile my insurance premium increased, few of my policy have been cancelled, I lost few thousands and days of my life.

Great price and smooth switching. I didn’t give them a five star because the breakdown cover they bundled with my insurance was a bit rubbish Reviewed on: 5th September 2025
