Review of the Tesco Bank, Pet Insurance:

No Loyalty for staying with Tesco, just higher prices

Have never made a claim on either of my policies, however, the renewal price on both policies has jumped 62% on each policy! I accept that cost do rise every year, (exactly what all the others say as well!) but when its as high as it is, +£200 on each policy, then £200 excess and 20% dual payment on the rest of the bill, I'm wondering if its worth it! It seems if you change your insurance company each year you get the £200 rise off your new policy. It pays to shop around now and not stay loyal. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2025

Great service

Everyone’s really friendly and helpful, and it’s great value! Reviewed on: 17th July 2018

Heartbreaking

Will demand payment for the month after your pet has died. Happened two years ago with our collie and this year when our terrier passed away. Suffice to say it was not a pleasant experience to go through and I would not wish it on anyone. Reviewed on: 9th May 2018

No hassle when claiming

My cat is undergoing treatment for a kidney problem. Tesco have been very good in explaining what cover I have for my pet & the vet puts in the claim for me after I have paid, so it is hassle free. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Flawless Service

My dog was poisoned and ended up in a veterinary hospital for 6 days. It was touch and go whether she would make it and it was such a relief to be able to give Tesco Pet Insurance the go ahead to liaise directly with the vets regarding the claim, and the whole claim was paid without a quibble once she was discharged. Equally as good as other leading pet insurers, for a much cheaper premium. Reviewed on: 30th September 2017

Inexpensive but poor coverage

Inexpensive cover but doesn't cover many pets besides the popular ones. Reviewed on: 12th September 2017

Very simple policy & great value

We were with another leading pet insurance company for our 2 cats. One became ill & we assumed any treatment would be covered. The insurance company were a nightmare & to cut a long story short, we weren't covered & it cost us a lot of money. Fast forward a couple of years & we'd moved to Tesco. One of our cats had an accident & we had absolutely no issues with Tesco whatsoever. They were great & a pleasure to deal with. Would recommend to anyone. Reviewed on: 8th September 2017

Fair deal

Fair deal but shop around. Easy to contact customer services Reviewed on: 9th August 2017

Good value comprehensive insurance

We haven't had need to claim on this yet (thankfully!) but we're impressed by the level of cover compared to much more expensive products. It was also quick and easy to buy online and the documents arrived quickly. Reviewed on: 15th July 2017

Great value

Touch wood, have not had to claim anything for our dog! But the cost per month is just over £10 and covers our dog for what we felt we needed. Reviewed on: 15th July 2017

Great deal on pet insurance

I was shopping about for pet insurance for my puppy and I got a great deal with Tesco as I am a clubcard holder. Better than any quotes I got from other companies Reviewed on: 30th April 2017
