Tesco insurance shocker (£less)

[telford_mike]

After sl*gging off Tesco in a thread earlier this month, I was amazed to get my renewal through the post this week. Last year it was £509, and this year they want £446! I had max NCB already, so it wasnt that. Amazing, a price reduction, and I didnt even ask!

Mine is down with Tesco too even tho im at 100% Full NCB.

Down from £395 to £375 - nice!

Woah thats well good.

Im currently with Tesco but Ive been quoted £1200 for my 182 which arrives in March (hopefully). Im 24 with full NCB so Im not sure why its so high for me? Ive had a cheaper quote with privelidge.com (£1000) but as Im half way through my current policy, Im not sure how easy it is to swap companies...

 

[007]

You cant swap policies you can cancel your current one with tescos (will only maybe get some money back) and start a new one with privalege. Could work out more tho than just paying the extra with Tescos.

Im 29 but also live in the Highlands which helps a lot. Would be around £700 for a Cossie/Scoob/Evo.

mike, call them up and say youve been quoted £420, and if theyll beat it youll stay with them.

promise u it will work!

Good call paddy!

Yeah I guess Ill just have to see which works out the best option. Ive been a bit lazy so far looking for other quotes so I might start hunting this week.

I might also start hunting for a house in the highlands if insurance is that cheap

Shocker is the word!!! Tried TESCO for my pending 182

I am 34, had full no claims discount on my modded golf which covered any mods up to 230bhp. Not insured the Golf for 3 years as I have had a company car. I have had to make a claim for £300 15 months ago when some t**ser dameged my door whilst parked and I have 2 SP50 convictions back in 99 and 00.

Quoted £2800 with zero no claims, in comparison to my broker where I insure my golf who has quoted me £800 with zero no claims.

Tesco may consider my claims history if I telephoned them but even 60% off is still not going to match my broker!!

Get a letter from the lease company that your company car was supplied from. They should be able to confirm your (no) claims history. I did this and Tesco were ok with it.

Cheers Mike,

I had full no claims that would have been knocked back to 3 by the claim for the door, but that was over a year ago. Will get a letter to confirm only one claim and then try a few again. Not rung anybody yet and you cant explain the company car situation for a car off the Net. Even so 2800 is lot at my age, even without no claims??

A lot? Its robbery! Even if I had no NCB Id be paying about 3 x £446 (65% NCB) - thats only about £1300!

 

[aaronc]

yeah im with tesco im 23 and im paying 360 with 6 points!

 

[Dansta]

my insuurance renewal is Nearly £350 less this year!!!!!!!!! with direct line

 

[welsh182]

Just tried direct line, the quoting pages look the same as tesco and I got exactly the same quote £2800.

Got to be Brentacre in Swansea @ £800 or try to get proof of claims on company car to get a better quote
