Tesco Breakdown Loophole
If you check page 8 of the T's and C's of Tesco's (Green Flag ) Breakdown policy, you will see that the definition of "insured vehicle" is
"Insured Vehicle: any vehicle we have agreed to cover and any vehicle you or your spouse/
partner are travelling in, provided it complies with the vehicle specifications described in
General Condition 10. "
This effectively give a Personal Cover, not a vehicle specific cover, saving over £100 on a Green Flag, 2 person policy!
Tesco are looking at changing the wording on this, so act quickly.
If you have a policy already and paid an additional premium of £40, then I would consider contacting Tesco Finance to ask why, when without the additional premimium, youre already covered?
