Car Insurance through Top Cash Back

Hi,

We're in the process of looking for the cheapest car insurance for my husbands car.

The cheapest quote we are getting right now is from Aviva.

The question I have is - will the TCB cashback track if the account with TCB is in my name (not my husbands) and the insurance itself is in his name (I'm just the named driver)

Hope someone can help

    You will be if you read up (here and across the net) on their "service".

    There's a reason why they are "cheap"!

    No, sometimes things don't track for some reason, whatever the merchant. AA still hasn't tracked for me from March last year but has in the past...just your luck. It's not guaranteed you'll get your money. You pays your money.....!

    It's like any big company... you'll get those that moan and those that don't.

    I've been with them for 2 years and it's been fault free? I've called them a few times and they've been really helpful! Renewal is always very competitive and the level of cover they offer is actually one of the better products in the market! People moan about their call centres but as far as I know everything customer facing is back in the UK now.

    Google ANY big Insurer and put 'review' after it and see how people moan about them... no one posts positive things online.

    You can apply for insurance in someone else's name on your TCB account. Just make sure you use the policyholder's details if you need to raise an enquiry if it doesn't track.
