Advantages: quick cover, quotes online, automatic renewal, clubcard points, staff discounts, you get a free tax disk holder (made my day lol!)

Disadvantages: second year with them may not be as cheap as elsewhere

when i got my first car i had the harrowing time of looking for car insurance. Being a student with no experience under my belt you can imaging the damage i ecpected to be done to my purse. well hold on there partner. Im a avid internet surfer and during the hours of insurance hunting i found tesco;s motor insurance. Imagine my surprise when me, a first timer managed to get insurance for 1170 pounds for TPFT. Not bad considering i was expecting it to be in the two grand mark. I like tesco coz you can set it up on line and be covered in minutes. You can pay by instalments (about 8% APR) and you get lots of customer service support if you have any trouble. As i never had to make a claim i never had to deal with investigators like one person one here did (they had a lot of trouble) and i feel sorry for that person who did. They have not given me any trouble at all. good things are that they renew automatically (so that you dont get caught short as some people forget about these things) and i you dont want to just one quick call will halt it. They still sent you a renewal notice (which is also used for NCB if you tranfer else where). Having said all this i didn't renew with them as i found a company which deals with younger drivers better. I now have TPFT for 405 pound which is 300 less than what tesco wanted. overall a great service and it is cheap for certain circumstantes, my dad (who is with them)for instant phoned them up about a question he had and they informed him that he was paying to much and they cut about 50 quid off his insurance, talk about service! Even if you dont go with them, check out their site as it quick and you dont have to phone them up. Oh and another thing, if your a member of staff you can also get another 10% discount off, as with all their other finance services and everyone can get clubcard vouchers (i got about 17 quid in money off vouchers)
