Admiral Car Insurance Reviews

I would avoid Admiral at all costs! I strongly urge people to avoid this company as they fail on ALL counts:- 1) I insured with them for around 15 years paying regularly. During this time I never had any claims myself, the one time someone broke into my car and I asked them about about claiming they said they would not be able to offer me ...

When I had my insurance through Admiral in 2003 I had an accident where I was forced off the road by another vehicle swerving into my lane. My car was out of action and I still needed to get to work. Admiral advised not to hire a car in case they could not claim the hire costs back. When I claimed for loss of earnings they said ...

I think the only people who would be impressed by Admiral are those that havn't had to claim. Yes they are cheap, but if you need to claim they drag things out for months! They will say they didn't receive documents you have sent, then offer you less than the car is worth. I ended up with several hundred pounds less than my car was worth. I ...

Watch out for their `spare parts clause? (tucked at the back of the policy document on page 26, item 11.) This clause says that in the event of a claim they will not payout for your optional extras! What this means in real terms is that if your car has any optional extras fitted like alloy wheels, uprated sound system, body kit or even ...

Here we go... OK, the chances are you're only going to write a review if you want to gripe and I am no exception. So I will try to be balanced at the end. I am currently in dispute with them (just before my renewal which has advantages and disadvantages) about backdating my No Claims Bonus (NCB). My NCB was lost while a claim made ...

I was very pleased with the insurance quote I received from Admiral - the cheapest by far and so I happily signed up. However, having been the injured party in an accident lately - I've been on the receiving end of some frustrating customer service. Although Admiral offer me a courtesy car while mine is being repaired, they didn't ...

Several years ago I insured my car with Admiral car insurance and I was, like many of the other comments on this page, disappointed with the company. When I insured my car with Admiral the quote they offered me was by far the cheapest so went with them. At first everything seemed alright, I paid the premium and drove around happy in the ...

Four years ago, aged 21 with a three year old 1.6 litre car, my insurance was £900 (and that was cheap); a year later, it had fallen to £800. For my third year I found Admiral and while my renewal quote was again £800, all other quotes were greater and most were over £1,000, Admiral asked me how £620 sounded? Pleasantly surprised, I ...

I did many on line quotes & finally settled on this bunch of slime bags thinking their price was best suited to my situation. I have an E reg car which although old, has been wonderfully maintained hence slim chance of breaking down. However also, as things go, being an old car should it be stolen / written off in an accident then although it runs ...

I have always insured my car with Admiral, and have found them to be excellent. Being 19 when I bought my car, and having had one accident already, I expected that my premium would be huge, but Admiral were by far the most competitive, quoting me pretty much half what all the other companies in the 'phone book were quoting (400 quid fully ...

I have been with Admiral insurance for 4 years and I have been very impressed with the service I have received over the years. I initially chose them as they were over 25% cheaper than the next best quote for my MX5. I did get a lot of quotes and the difference was amazing. I saved over a £100 pounds that first year. Since then the ...

I previously had an insurance policy with Admiral, during which time I had the misfortune to have my car written off. When I came to claim, I sent them all relevant details, and they came back with an offer of about 2/3 of what the car was worth. Being rather unhappy about this, I obtained a photocopy of the relevant page from ...

I've actually had a very good deal with Admiral - most people here seemed to be writing horror stories. I have a high insurance group car(16) 2 years claims and Im 24. They beat all other quotes and I went for it. However, around Crimbo, some divot crashed into the side of me. Admiral sent me the blurb, I filled it in and ...

PLEASE AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS. Their literature states that are/have been a 'Welsh Company of the Year'. As a Welshman I find the concept disgusting, and wonder on what grounds they were awarded it. I will reiterate what a few other people have said and add my own comments and experience, hopefully encouraging ...

I bought 2 policies from Admiral to insure my 2 cars totaling over £1000 since they were the cheapest I could find !! Anyway, I decided to lessen the financial blow by paying monthly via direct debit. Each policy had it's own direct debit mandate. Everything was fine for a year and a half (yes they automatically renewed my policies ...

I have never had such bad service from an insurance company, as I did when I used Admiral. I my car insurance with them, and had taken the policy out in August, I had phone them to take out cover and given them most of the details over the phone. They sent me the forms, which I signed and returned in the usual manner. I had checked all the ...

Admiral may look good when you're paying your premium, but the real test of a good motor insurer comes when making a claim - this is what happened to us. I'd like to register a big black mark for non-communication between departments, poor customer service, and some blatant porky-telling. I was recently involved in an ...

If you have a policy with Admiral for your car insurance you may find this helpful. In fact whatever insurance company you are with, this MAY also apply. I am going to tell you about my dad's experience with Admiral. He took out a policy with them last year and it cost him around £350 which was quite reasonable. About three weeks ago he ...

There’s one question I get asked a lot. “Does KITT cost a load of money to insure?” You bet. It took me three days to list the optional extras and forget those dumba** boy racers with their GTI’s – I’ve got Turbo Boost and that makes that yearly premium sky high! So I called around ...

I have been with Admiral for the past 3 years, having initially had ridiculously large quotes for car insurance from other companies. In that time I have never been less than impressed with their customer service. The main attraction of Admiral is the low premiums on car insurance. I have found that most companies cannot come within ...
