Tesco Insurance

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, my foot accidentally slipped onto the accelerator and I crashed into the queuing traffic infront. I immediately admitted liability (there would have ... more

I'm not what you might generally call a brave person. Truth be told, given a choice I usually veer towards the sensible option, I stick rigidly to the cautious side of life... OK, what the heck, I admit it. I'm a lousy, terrible, stinking great coward, which probably explains why I waited until well into my 28th year before learning how to drive. However, late in the summer of 2002 I could put it off no longer, so learn to drive I did. Cost me a small fortune in lessons, but on 20th December last year I passed my driving test first time! The examiner must have been in a very good mood to have ... more

As many people my age there comes a time when you realise that for some reason you desperately need a car now and taking the bus/train or walking is no longer an option in our busy and hectic lives of meeting friends and going to work/college/university. Some of us beg our parents who drop the belt a few sizes as the trousers don’t need to hold up that heavy wallet anymore and other more sensible youngsters like me, decide to save and borrow funds to purchase my first car! Purchasing the car is difficult, what style of car do you want, of course it has to represent your personality and ... more

Obtaining a competitive yet adequate car insurance can be a very time consuming and expensive business. I spent considerable amount of time looking for new car insurance after my car was written off earlier this year. I had enjoyed 5 years of trouble free motor insurance from CGNU who settled my claim in full, however since the merger with Norwich Union I found that in order to take out a new Policy I would be under new Terms and conditions as proposed by Norwich Union which were not as attractive as the one’s I had previously been enjoying. On this basis I decided to shop around ... more

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 a friend. My quote came through for renewal at just under £2.5K (ouch) - I searched, got some much better quotes (I am reluctant to say good with my ... more
