No problems with Tesco when I came to claim for the damage done to mine when I pranged it. Their assessor had been out to examine it and had approved the work within 48 hours.

I think Craig's experience when he had to claim following his roll wasn't quite as smooth - but that was particularly with the dept that deals with sourcing replacement cars. I don't think there was any particular issue as regards delay in agreeing to write off and replace. I'm sure Mr A will be along to comment shortly!

They are both underwrited by the same company, but I think you'll get a slightly different policy based on very minor things (like excess, windscreen cover...) Maybe you get a free supermarket sweep with Tescos, and a red telephone with Direct Line.

Then again... maybe not.
