With Privilege and wanted £660 for renewal on my Chimaera 4.5. 3 points SP30. 57 years old no claims. Merseyside. Sunninghill couldn't beat this so tried Tesco. Now bought a '98 Griff and Tesco want £548. Bit their hand off.

They didnt make me happy at all and I made a formal complaint.

They first quoted me £550 then when i called back later found they had quote me worng and the true quote should have been £950.

Useless place.
Still, at least their call centres were in the UK. (I asked where all the call centres were based when applying for the quote).

Have a couple of good quotes from other places for both cars but tescos quotes are terrible. Im suprised though and expected amazing quotes (which I initally thought I had!).
They were even £100 over everyone elses prices on the Golf TDi.

However, they are very cheap to insure cats with. My cats are only £5 each purr month

Worth doing online as you get an extra discount that way. Not much but it helps.

It's all done by Direct Line, which is why website looks very similar to DL and Privilege.

10% discount I believe, which turns out to be quite a lot when the prices are this high!

Made me happy too - by far the best quote I got and it was a chap from Sunninghill who told me to ring them - their quote being £250 more expensive
