Tesco Bank policy details
Tesco Bank offers a selection of car insurance policies and types. Not all policies and types are available through our site, so the exact levels of cover and benefits may vary. Before buying car insurance, we recommend you check the cover and benefits included.
Tesco Bank provides two types of cover:
- Standard car insurance
- Black box insurance
Tesco’s standard car insurance is available in two cover levels: fully comprehensive insurance, and third party, fire and theft insurance.
Its standard comprehensive car insurance includes:
- Courtesy car cover to keep you on the road while your car is being repaired or replaced.
- Uninsured driver protection, ensuring that if you're hit by an uninsured driver, you won’t lose your no-claims bonus and your excess will be refunded.
- Windscreen cover to cover the costs of repairing your windscreen or side windows if they're chipped or broken.
- Child car seat cover so you can get a replacement following an accident, even if there's no visible damage.
- Entertainment equipment cover to protect permanent fixtures in your car like a sat nav or stereo.
- European car insurance cover of up to 90 days if you’re a UK resident. There’s no need to pay extra.

- Personal accident cover if you or your partner are seriously injured in an accident.
