Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Does not do what it says on the tin
If you are looking for cheap travel insurance, then yes tesco may fit the bill, but be warned people, they don't like to pay
I have just had a claim refused for cancellation to the tune of £5000
We had to cancel our honeymoon due to father in law being diagnosed with lung cancer
I don't know how they sleep at night
Every Little Helps indeed
Mind you they did offer £100 for the way they have handled the case
In Summary,
Tesco Insurance is not worth a carrot
Summary: Really BAD Service

- 08/11/05 Tesco refused claiming that we knew about the illness before we took out the policy
This simply was not the case, we found 3 days before due to travel
We got the insurance to start on the day of travel, an annual policy (this probably wasn't a smart move)
Tesco may have a point, they claim I refused cancellation cover when I ordered the thing, 3 months prior to travel
Tesco stated several times they would pay out, then gave several reasons why not, each time I proved them wrong.
They finally settled on the you knew before you took out the policy
When we found out about the illness, 3 days before travel, we contacted tesco to see if we would be insured, and they said, no problem etc etc,
Tesco have found a reason they can backup, but they do not tell you that when I bought the policy even tho I paid full price, I didn't actually get a full product.
So people be warned, you have to nail tesco's hat on before they nail yours! |

- 05/11/05 Have never had a problem with Tesco myself but I know that you really have to read the small print with any insurance company as there are certain things they list which you are not covered for - such as had your father in law had tests previous to you taking the insurance out as this could have had an effect. I know it seems unfair especially at this difficult time and I can sympathise as my friend's mother has lung cancer at the moment but often claims are refused because you simply don't have the correct level of cover. |
