    Tesco insurance

    I just got my insurance renewal quote in from Devitts ..... and it looked like this ......

    Insurance Cover ..................£121.46
    Optional Legal Expenses........ £ 20.00
    RENEWAL FEE .................... £ 9.00

    Total ................................£150.46

    Now, I thought that was fair ....BUT £9.00 renewal Fee ...WTF
    £9 to renew the insurance of an existing low risk customer - taking the pish or what ?

    So I decided to do the old "moneysupermarket" search and tried Tesco who claimed to be the cheapest by far ...... AND

    Insurance Cover ............£94.50
    Legal expenses ..............£25.00

    Total ...........................£119.50

    £94.50 for Fully Comp / protected no claims on a 999cc , £9000 bike !!!!!

    REEEZULT !!
    2011 Triumph Tiger 800 - "Black Pussy" - MMMM Nice !!!
    2000 Suzuki DRZ400S - "Ol' Yella" - very bright
    2011 Peugeot V-Clic 50cc - "Scoot" - It's my wife's, an enjoyable ride.

    I have a house , but I can't guarantee it's safe !!

    Hello, I went from Bennets to Carole Nash last week, it was cheaper by about £15 and included break down cover (home start, relay and euro coverage).

    Give them a try.

    I tried them last year when my renewal was up and they wouldn't give me a multibike policy. So i went with Aquote they gave me a multibike policy with £1000 accesories cover, breakdown and legal cover, gps cover, 90 days euro cover £175 excess on the xr, £125 excess on the varadero £204 FC. That was £111 cheaper than Carole Nash wanted for my Varadero alone, pays to shop around

    What you might have there is a a Tesco Value Insurance product. You never really know until you need to claim.

    Have to say that on a £9,000 bike I'd spend a bit more on some decent insurance.

    ASDA once produced the cheapest travel policy of all time, then I spotted that to claim for anything lost or stolen you had to provide the original receipt. Who keeps receipts for everything, forever?

    I got the Ombudsman to declare that he could not see any circumstances under which he would uphold that as a fair insurance policy, but, at the time, ASDA did not change its policy because it knew that most people who bought its policy would not take a complaint to the Ombudsman.

    Tesco are only a broker - the insurers are Zenith - like a lot of Carole Nash / Bennets etc etc use.

    Excess is £200 - pretty standard.

    I imagine not. I imagine Tesco has signed up exclusively with Zenith and have agreed their own wordings to get the cheapest prices possible.
