Admiral Car Insurance Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Admiral are a direct insurer which means they only have their own policy to sell, unlike a broker company or intermediary who can shop around from a panel of insurers. This often means that these direct are somewhat restricted in certain markets, and often have to be niche players. I think admiral can suffer from this niche status, which often ...  Read the complete review

I contacted lots of insurance companies when we were looking for cover for my sons Renault 19 16v,he first bought the car he was 22,so the fact that he was under 25,and driving a high performance car meant that finding him cover at a reasonable rate was going to be a problem, some would not even quote a price,some were sky high ...  Read the complete review

I have a high performance car and found my car insurance to be so expensive. When I turned 25 I completed an on-line form which went to many car insurance companies. I have renewed my policy with Admiral for 3 years now. I have found that they offer me the cheapest quote and have not caused any problems for me. At the end of the year ...  Read the complete review

My first experience of Admiral was when my sister used them a couple of years ago. They gave her the cheapest quote, so she went with them, but when her renewal came through the following year, it had gone up over £100!! She had another years no claims, and was now over 25, but when she phoned to ask whay it was so high, was told it was because ...  Read the complete review
