Tesco Finance gives no explanation for Liverpool redlining

Tesco Finance has been accused of hypocrisy after refusing to insure Toxteth residents despite Tesco building a £30m supermarket nearby, according to the Metro.

Tesco Finance gave no explanation for refusing to insure motorists in the Liverpool L8 postcode.

Toxteth resident Alan Taylor said: "Tesco are happy to take our money over the tills, but they won't insure our cars."

The Association of British Insurers (ABI) said Tesco was "not obliged" to provide motor insurance for all drivers.

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