    Tesco trying to push up my car insurance premiums by almost 40%. No accidents, no claims, same car. No possible justification.

        It’s that little “verified” tick by your twitter name. Tesco hates celebs.

        To be fair, Churchill put mine down (approx 10%). Same scenario.

        Even the cheapest alternative quote was up 20%. Baffled.

        I must admit I looked around and nothing was cheaper than the quote from existing supplier.

        Interesting. They've been the cheapest by far for me the past two years, even their renewal quote. Expect they've built up customers...

        Precisely. It's just preying on the lazy. Although they wouldn't match price, even when challenged.

        Same with me, 41% increase, little effort made to keep me. Thanks and goodbye.

        They all do it, although premiums have apparently gone up because of a Govt ruling and a massive increase in Insurance Premuim Tax.
