Tesco car insurance

Anyone had any experience of this good or bad? It's coming up as the most competitive for me on the comparison sites and although there are reviews attached I am becoming more cynical of reviews online.
Thanks

    Think of most negative reviews as from customers with a grudge or unrealistic demands and all positive reviews are spam.

    You wont go far wrong.

    You take out your insurance and only then do you think that its money that may be wasterd because you may not have to claim on the insurance.


    You will only ever findout how good they actually are till you make a claim, lets hope you never have to...
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    We had Tesco insurance when we wrote off our car.

    They were excellent to deal with, offered us the market value for our car when we declined their first offer and also offered to continue the insurance cover for the replacement car if bought within a month of the write off amount being paid. They also told us to take anything off the car that we wanted as it was being scrapped. As we bought the same model of car my husband took off the tow bar and the spare wheel- the new car only had a repair kit.

    When the renewal for the next year arrived I expected a big increase in premium but the new premium was less than we paid the year before despite the claim for the write off.

    Had Tesco before, no problems.
    With John Lewis as price was competitive last year. Waiting on renewal price.

    Looking at the moment and Tesco are one of the cheapest also with £50 cashback from usual sites.
