Tesco Car Insurance Reviews

I was with tesco last year, had an accident on 28dec06 driver admitted at the seen. Then apparently his insurance said that he had witness, his wife that was in the car saying it was my fault. This dragged out for over a year, we made over 50 calls to tesco and ended up dealing with their solictors ourselves, as tesco were incompetent. The lack of communication is tescos problem, they know nothing at all. I had to ring the other parties insurance aswell. Tesco never ring you to let you know where the claims at. I finally got it sorted in Jan 08, only to find out the other driver admitted the claim 5 months before, I found this from the solicitors. The whole year we had stress to find this out which topped it all off. (moral is) dont use TESCOS car insurance just cause its CHEAP!

I was involved in a RTA on Friday 22nd Feb 08 the party involved admitted full guilt to me and the police.

They said they sent letters to ...  Read the complete review

Tesco insurance should be stopped! They are good with shopping but thats it. Everything is fine until you make a claim, nice and cheap, but when your premiun goes from £300. to £600. becausse someone hits you and wont admit fault, even though they admitted fault at the time of the accident, gave me a dud phone number and told me to get a quote and ...  Read the complete review

Stay away from Tesco car insurance !!!! my daughter was hit from behind by a aggressive male driver and now they say she is to blame! We've just had a conversation with the rudest woman we have ever come across and she tells us that the other driver was injured !!!eh hello !!! wake up Tesco ! we have three cars insured with them but we'll be taking our custom elsewhere

Stay away from Tesco insurance. They demonstrate complete incompetence, laziness and unsubstantiated greed. I was involved in accident, third party at once admitted fault, and so their insurers. Not only I have informed to Tesco Insurance full details of 3rd party but even reference number of the 3rd party insurers. Third party ...  Read the complete review

I have been with Tescos car insurance for just over two years now and have been very happy with the service provided and cost. I pay annually by direct debit, which again I have had no problem with. Also this time when I re-newed it they sent me a £20 gift card to spend in store. I had only just passed my test when I originally went ...  Read the complete review

I've used Tesco car insurance for a number of years - they've always been quite cheap and I have never had to claim as I've never had any accidents, so I cannot testify as to their service in that respect. What I do know is this. I didn't need my car insurance any more, but I had 2 months left in the yearly contract and so I decided to ...  Read the complete review

Long story but, dont expect help on bank holidays. Tesco dont open, you will be dealing with 3rd party companies who by no fault of there own know nothing about your policy terms or situation. So help is basic to say the least. Also if you claim for only a window being smashed not the content and there is a 3 day delay in getting stock, you will ...  Read the complete review

Well, where can I start, i took out a policy for my 1992 Peugeot 405 and got it for a good price, but i've now no longer got the car as it broke down and would have cost too much to fix so I have bought a new car on finance with 1st year free insurance. i've tried and tried to cancel my tesco policy and 2 months later I am still having payments ...  Read the complete review

We went with Tesco last year on our old Micra and it had to be written off in November as it failed its MOT and would cost far more than the car was worth to repair. They said it would be best to drop the cover to TPF&T so that we could get our 1 year No Claims Discount. Well the following month we were apparently in an accident yet the car ...  Read the complete review

Other day I was looking for quotes for car insurance. Tesco is one of the companies I used to get the quote. I went on-line at their site. After I filled in the details I was given a quote which looked very good on paper. It was £150 cheaper than the nearest rival. When I looked at excess and small print I was gobsmacked. It ...  Read the complete review

Avoid Tesco Car Insurance at all costs! Our car was stolen from outside our house, through no fault of our own. It was locked and immobilised and the Police reckon it was stolen by a professional gang using a low loader. Over 2 months later, Tesco still haven't paid out and have given no indication of when (if ever!) they will. They ...  Read the complete review

Beware Tesco Car Insurance. I was involved in an RTA on 16th September 2006. The third party was a drink driver. Despite that fact that this guy was a drink driver and damage to my car proves he was to blame Tesco will not support me in any way and have accussed me of lying. They will not even do their job of contacting the police for the ...  Read the complete review

I think Tesco car insurance is awful. The call center staff seem to have been taken straight off of the check out desk and put in front of a phone and left to deal with car insurance. I made a claim over a year ago. I had to fight to get my courtasy car, fight for my £400 excess back and they couldnt even take all my details down! A year later, ...  Read the complete review

Really, don't bother with Tesco Car insurance. They simply don't deserve any coverage anymore. Their customer service staff don't know what they're talking about, they're quite rude and will take advantage of you if you make a claim. I paid my insurance by monthly instalments, after my car was set on fire I made a claim, they valued my car ...  Read the complete review

Having an old 2nd car in the family and using it mostly so that the other car does not knock up the miles we decided to only insure it third party fire and theft. Well we had an accident. It was the other drivers fault entirely and she said as much. This driver was insured with Tescos. We are with Churchill and it is a pity ...  Read the complete review

For my first insurance me and my partner decided to use Tesco insurance, as it was the cheapest we could find. We found tesco unable to cope with any claim we made. For instance one claim we made was when we were parked up and a van scraped the side of the car, tesco said we would not be found to be liable for this, when we went to insure the car ...  Read the complete review

I had been with tesco for 3years because they were cheap - oh did i make a big mistake, I have had so many problems with them, yes they are cheap but they are untrustworthy - definatly when you spent £800 to be with them. This is my story:- My first problem was march last year when i was hit by a car, Tesco had execpted ...  Read the complete review

I went to Tesco on price. Having not had a claim for 20 years I wasn't too bothered about their reputation for unanswered phones or their terms and conditions - my mistake. I paid £1300 a year to insure a £30k car. Fine until it was stolen and found with minor damage 3 days later. Tesco will provide "a quality ...  Read the complete review
