Guest Robdow Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 OK. It's time to renew my insurance. Me and Mrs D, age 30 and 28. 2001 2.7 garaged at night in rural Cambirdgeshire. Fitted with a tracker. Full NCB.Existing insurers are the Norwich Union (through a broker.) Current premium £1K. Renewal £1434 Broker suggests a different policy with Cornhill. Premium £1216 So I give Tesco a check: £815. WTF ? Before I wander off and save myself £600, anyone got any particular horror stories about Tesco?

markcp Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 I was always sceptical of brokers, since they have to make money somehow, but for the last 4 years my broker in Bath has always managed to beat any on-line quote Try A-Plan on 01225 469111.Hope this helps,Mark.

helen Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 I've had three cars insured with Tesco's over the past 2 years, had no cause for consern.i double checked with them that any repair work that had to be done to the boxster would be done via a porsche recommended body shop.you can cut cost more if you opt not to have a replacement car while yours is being repaired.(if it's your fault)and if you have tracker fitted.

Guest Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 but for the last 4 years my broker in Bath has always managed to beat any on-line quote This can happen, although rarely. My mother works for Norwich Union, and even with the not-so-generous staff discount she can get a cheaper price going with an external broker. She says this is because they do very heavy discounting with brokers because of the administration burden taken on by the broker....and the broker can then pass the discount on to customers. Tends to ony work with fairly low-risk customers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobby Posted June 3, 2003 Report Share Posted June 3, 2003 Tesco paid out my 45k write off with relatively little hassle . Did take 7 weeks though and only supply courtesy car for two weeks (that is with added supplement paid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
