Buying motor insurance online can be cheap, but Backchat didn't realise quite how cheap it could be. While trawling through internet auction house ebay, Backchat came across someone selling a Tesco motor policy.

The seller, who described himself as "an insider who can get anyone cover for anything", was offering a lucky over 19-year-old cover for any vehicle up to a class 14. The starting bid was £24.90.

Backchat wonders whether this will be the new distribution method for 2003. But more importantly, is it legal?

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.

Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and as always, huge thanks to our sponsors for their support and our judges for their expertise.
