Leaving Tesco car insurance where they deserve and subscribing with another company

[ILoveConvertibles]

Hello ladies & gentlemen,
please help me with this problem.

I moved to UK from ITA last year (March 2012), in August I bought a little funny Punto 1.2 convertible (produced in 1998).

Firstly, Tesco sent me a quote of 660 £ according to my 10-years old NCB I had sent from Italy, then they refused it because it was not translated.

I refused the NCB and the price exploded to 1066 GBP, that is quite a lot of money.

After ONE YEAR, instead of dropping the price, I received their renewal proposal. Literally, they are kidding. £ 1359, with ONE YEAR of NCB.

I decided to dump them, from sites like comparethemarket, confused and moneysupermarket I found some insurers that can have it done for £ 800 more or less.

My questions:

- I see around a lot of youngster with cars such as Honda Civic type-R, Golf GTI, heavily modified ST 150 fiestas and Sport-RS200 Clios, and I BET their insurances are CHEAPER than mine.

What I have to do to tell Tesco "get the **** off of me, and **** yourself with a finger in your ****!!!", as soon as my policy expires, 30th August 2013?

They are such UNFAIR that putting in their site the same identical information they already have, the quote is £ 1024. They sent me a renewal proposal of 1359, and after a 40 minutes phone call with customer service, they proposed me a "very fair and cheap" £ 1270.

I am DONE with those extortionists. Admiral can do the same for £ 400 less, and I BET that if I try a new quote in 10 days, the price is to drop again.

I paid the car £ 750, it worths £ 400, with a 1.0 Corsa or a Smart I will be probably saving lots of money, but the last thing I wanted to think after 34 years on this planet, 16 of them with CLEAN driving licence, is to pay £ 1300 to insure a 1.2 car.

contact the FF insurers at the top of this forum section, they may still except the Italian NCD.

I doubt it.


Tesco are a budget insurance company along with most (not all) on aggregator sites. You're best approaching most direct, such as Direct Line, Church Hill, Aviva etc.

As Dave said you could also try the brokers which advertise on here
