OREANDA-NEWS. January 15, 2013.  Aviva, the UK’s largest insurer, has agreed a three-year deal with Tesco Bank, the insurance distribution arm of the global supermarket chain, Tesco, to provide private motor insurance to Tesco customers.

The deal will see Aviva join a small panel of existing insurers to offer motor insurance through Tesco Bank, who currently provides car insurance to over one million customers.
 
Janice Deakin, intermediary and partnerships director at Aviva, said: “We are delighted to be extending our relationship with Tesco Bank to offer motor insurance.

“This deal further strengthens our relationship with Tesco Bank, following the announcement last year that Aviva would also be providing life protection products, including life insurance and critical illness cover.

“Tesco shares our customer-centric values and carries clear brand strength that together will deliver real value to our partnership and to Tesco customers.”

Gary Davess, director of insurance at Tesco Bank said “Partnering with Aviva will help us offer competitive prices to more Tesco customers and at the same time provide access to quality motor insurance from one of the UK’s largest providers.”

The policies will be available through Tesco Car Insurance call centres and online, with the claims service provided through Aviva’s personal motor Centre of Excellence in Stretford.
