...
I decided to begin my car insurance search on the internet, and I have to admit that Tesco.com was not my first port of call by a long shot. I began by trying about a dozen of the usual suspects (Halifax, More Than, The AA, Swinton, Norwich Union, Direct Line, etc) and received quotes ... Read review

Advantages: Quick, easy and cheap Disadvantages: Quotation was misleading in my case
...page, this will open the Tesco personal finance website in a new screen, for you. Here you can find information not only on car insurance, but for pet, home, travel insurance, etc, along with loans, credit cards and saving accounts, amongst others. If you really want to you can take a site tour from this page, but heck, I didn't have time for that, lead me to the motor insurance, as fast as you can, please! So, after one more easy click through to ... ...away that Tesco offer a valuable 5% discount if you buy their motor insurance on line. However, I remained a little sceptical about this offers, as in my search I had come across several other insurers offering similar deals (often with much higher discounts) but these discounts were often completely negated by the ridiculously high price of the quote provided! Getting a quote on the Tesco internet site was incredibly easy, the quickest and easiest ...

Advantages: Cheap & Efficient Disadvantages: None that I have found yet!
I have been insured with Tesco car insurance now for about 4 years. The reason I insured with them was largeley that they gave the lowest quote.
I know that you never really know how good your insurance provider is until you have to make a claim.
Two weeks ago, after nearly 9 years accident free on the road, I had my first accident. Driving home from work, on a hot Friday afternoon, I misjudged the traffic infront of me, and when I went to break, ... ...had recieved a fax from Tesco authorising them to quote on the vehicle. I also recieved a telephone call from a car rental company letting me know they had recieved the booking, and that a car would be available on the Monday. In my opinion, Tesco dealt with this very efficiently.
On the following Tuesday, I recieved a call asking for further details on the passengers in the other vehicle involved and I was told that they were just about to call ...

Advantages: Can be purchased on-line, variety of payment methods Disadvantages: Hopefully none - new customer - too early to say
Tesco is one place I would never have thought of looking for motor insurance until accidentally clicking a link from www.bluecarrots.com. Well I had nothing to lose did I?
Some of you may have already seen my op about my previous insurer.
Last year after around 10 years claim free motoring, I was very unlucky to have a prang in the local leisure centre car-park, followed about 2 months later by a much nastier bump on the motorway whilst visiting ... ...the option to enter your Tesco Club Card details, although not quite sure if you pick up points through insurances! - anyone enlighten me?
SUMMARY
The process was very simple and straightforward. I have had no dealings with their customer services department as everything was done on-line, quickly and painlessly. Sadly with most insurance companies, your first real experience can be when you need to make a claim, so hopefully I will not be updating ...

...last November, why I chose Tesco and a summary of the Tesco car insurance policy. Bear in mind that this is only the third time that I have bought car insurance so I am pretty naïve about the subject.
APATHY IS PROFITABLE
My existing car insurer was Norwich Union Direct. A few months ago they published a survey where 8 out of 10 car owners did not shop around for quotes. They simply stayed with their existing insurer.
So NU Direct gave new clients ... ...go into more detail about Tesco later on.
Sainsburys Bank
Quote: No quote given
I first went to the Sainsburys home page, then to Sainsburys Bank and finally to the car insurance page. I entered my car details. No quote was given due to the type of vehicle selected. I was quite surprised at this.
Sainsburys only entered the car insurance market last year. Being a new entrant I thought that their quote would be competitive enough to lure customers ...
