Tesco launches motor insurance comparison website

Tesco Personal Finance announces the launch of Tesco Compare.com, a new car insurance comparison site, which will go beyond current price comparison. This is the first time a UK supermarket will be offering personal finance products from a variety of different brands, playing to Tesco’s strength as a retailer.

Tesco Compare.com marks a big step forward in its offering. It will not only compare motor insurance policies by price but it will also compare over 25 policy features across insurers so that customers can find the right insurance for them.

The new and free service offers customers insurance comparisons from a great range including products not available from other sites. Tesco Compare.com currently lists details of around 30 different products, such as Churchill, AA, More Th> n, Sheila’s Wheels and many more. Tesco Compare.com will extend the number of its motor insurance partners in the near future. The site, which is backed by Royal Bank of Scotland, will be available to customers from 14th September 2007.

Peter Dingle, Managing Director of Tesco Compare says: “Our customers have been telling us they want more help in choosing their motor insurance. They want more than just the usual ‘shop around’ tool for insurance premiums. We have placed great emphasis on the fact that our site not only compares price but also looks at individual policy features to allow users to make sure they are getting the right policy for them. We have also ensured that we get the best prices from our partners for our customers. There will be no extra costs or charges when it comes to paying your insurance, the price quoted will be the same as if the customer went direct.

“Our site is in direct response to customers needs. They want a good range, competitive prices and a service that is free and easy to use. They can expect to search from a wide range of products and find the right policy for them. We have great brands on board, and we are looking forward to adding more insurance brands for customers to choose from at this one stop shop.”
