I tried to get a quote from Tesco Online but failed misserably.

At the end of filling in the question forms, it told me that I was having trouble because I had been here many times before and to please ring them.

When I explained over the phone what had happened the operator told me that it was a common problem and there was nothing he could do about it. He told me to fill in all the details again but make out that I was my next door neighbour. Then when I got a quote, change the details to mine and see how I get on.

I told them that this was very unprofessional and to stick the insurance where the sun don't shine. Evil or Very Mad

Hi

I applied for my quote online with no probs..easily much cheaper than elephant and the others mentioned here.

Once I bought the car, logged in asked tesco to start the polcy and paid with no issues so far!!!

Appears Tesco are piggy-backing on Direct Line insurance, so are sort of acting like a middle-man.

The form I filled out for a quote is identical to the Direct Line one. Even down to the 'verification measures' - identical.

Was not surprised that their quote was £100 more than Direct Line. Represents their cut?

Regardless, their quote was sky-high, double what I currently pay.
