Tesco launches 3 new ways to insure your home

Value - Good cover at outstanding prices. Costing on average 30% less than the Standard product, Tesco Value Home Insurance includes the essential elements of cover while excluding extras that some homeowners may not wish to pay for.

 
Standard - An enhanced version of Tesco's existing home insurance product. Has mass appeal and offers a great deal for customers. It covers everything a customer would expect, clearly explained with no surprises. Enhancements include no compulsory excess and over £10,000 worth of additional cover at no extra cost. These increased limits are an acknowledgement of changing lifestyles (e.g. greater value of Garden Furniture and Pedal Cycles)
 
Finest - offers the most comprehensive cover that we have ever offered. It gives customers peace of mind with exceptional added value at a great price. The many enhancements include, unlimited Buildings cover, contents away from home doubled to £10,000, as well as additional benefits including Home Emergency, ID Fraud Detection and Assistance and a unique Concierge Service, which offers provides a range of services from booking entertainment and travel to shopping and home help advice. 
Jim Bruce, Head of Tesco Home Insurance said: "When our customers walk into our stores they expect to see great choice and get great value for money. Customers have told us they understand Value, Standard and Finest and in the current economic climate we want to do everything we can to help them get exactly what they want to pay for. We've brought this range to the home insurance market to offer even greater choice, clarity and value."
