Car insurance comes in many guises and can include a variety of benefits such as breakdown cover, courtesy car provision, no claims bonus protection and even cover against uninsured drivers so it is something of a technological godsend to find a site that compares all of these policies and helps you choose the one that is right for you.

Tescocompare.com really comes into its own in this respect: not only can it help you pinpoint the most competitive car insurance policy within minutes, it can also guide you through the application process so that your policy is in place by the time you have finished at the computer.

Choosing your car insurance policy at tescocompare.com is a straightforward task. There are no complicated menus or difficult questions to answer – just an easy-to-follow process to help you find and purchase the right insurance.

Working in conjunction with some of the biggest names in motor insurance, the Tesco compare site generates insurance quotes within seconds and allows you the opportunity to change your criteria if you have made a mistake or you change your mind mid-search.

The site also gives you valuable and useful information about how to apply for insurance if you are a new, young or female driver or if you have made any modifications to your car. The latter has become very popular, thanks to the show ‘Pimp My Ride’, but it’s important to remember that modifications to you vehicle can affect your insurance premium. If you don’t declare modifications your policy could be declared invalid when you make a claim – even if the claim isn’t related to any such modification.

How Tescocompare works

The Tesco compare site sifts through all of the available insurance policies – including their own. However, the results are not biased towards Tesco’s own products. The site will – if it is the case – be very clear that another provider has provided a cheaper quote than Tesco’s.

You also have the opportunity to save money on your shopping bill at home with clubcard points awarded to you if you select the insurance policy of a participating insurance company. This means that not only do you save money on your car insurance but you could also save money on your shopping bill which given the current rises in food costs over the last eight months is a considerable benefit.

Whichever car insurance policy you select through Tescocompare you can be confident that you have compared and contrasted the market thoroughly.

Tesocompare speeds up this process: so much so that you could very likelysearch for and purchase your car insurance policy during your tea break at work. Think of it as a double benefit: you’re saving money on your car insurance by undertaking proper research of the market; and you’re saving time in the process!

A key benefit of using a site such as Tescocompare.com is the range of quotations they provide. From the biggest names in motor insurance through to small independent providers, Tescocompare will show you a wide range of available motor insurance policies that fit your criteria. The AA (the Automobile Association), Admiral, Budget, Hastings, More Th>n, Privilege, Zurich, Swinton and indeed Tesco car insurance are just a handful of the car insurance providers whose prices can be accessed through Tescocompare.com.

Even though Tesco sells its own insurance products, they have designed the Tesco compare site in such a way as not to prioritise them. If Tesco’s own quotation happens to be the cheapest, it will say so; however, if another provider offers the best quote based on the customer’s criteria, the best quote will be listed first and Tesco’s quote will appear further down the list. Note also that ‘best’ isn’t always synonymous with ‘cheapest’. If, for example, the customer specifies courtesy car cover, and Tesco’s policy – whilst cheapest – doesn’t provide this, the quote will not appear at the top of the list of potential insurance providers.

The Tesco compare site also provides useful advice on how to obtain your insurance quote; after all it isn’t simply a case of filling out the online forms and clicking ‘Quote Now’ – you need to think about what you want your insurance policy to do for you if you ever need to use it. Do you want it to provide cover additional drivers? Should the policy provide you with a courtesy car or roadside assistance? These are questions you should ask yourself before you ask your insurance provider and Tescocompare is on hand with helpful tips and jargon busters that dispel myths and preconceptions about applying for motor insurance online.

Your car insurance can be unnecessarily inflated by answering certain questions inaccurately. For example, how many miles you expect to do during the year, what you will use your vehicle for and whether it has an immobiliser or not.
