“Burglar smashed the door at my house. I have opened clame with Admiral two weeks ago. Today had to cancel my insurance because call them many times required new door. They totally ignored me every time I call them. Just told me to pay £350 access for installed new door and send company but this company explained that the door isn't cover by the insurance. Absolutely rubbish service.”

“I called them and asked to be connected with the legal helpline, which I have paid for, just to inquire about a minor damage while unparking and they opened a claim, although I told them I might not even claim. So they sent me a quote for AUTO-renewal £600 more expensive than this year (£1500 in total for 10 months). They are ripping me off because I am a foreigner. Really dissatisfied with admiral.”

“Have had nothing but problems with the admin side of Admiral. Emails take weeks to come through. Or they tell you you're insured but it turns out, due to an automatic computer function you're not actually insured for 7 months.”

“No problems whiled insured, although never made a claim. However after they were unable to provide me with the proof of no claims discount. Took 4 calls, much holding and almost a week for them to sort it out.”

“We received a letter saying that one of our drivers was involved in an accident and they were processing a claim against us. The details they have divulged to us (name and vehicle details, which I am sure is against GDPR policy) do not belong to anybody at the company. We called and were told to email and let customer services know and they would let us know what to do... if anything! I have sent 3 emails now and they have not acknowledged a single one apart from the automated reply that someone will contact me soon. Obviously not chasing their customers claim otherwise we should have heard by now what's going on. If this was my insurer I would avoid like the plague!”

“admiral car insurance are criminals . A scratch on my car I reported a scrape that was not my fault and they slammed £300-400 a year to my yearly policy at renewal which was just weeks after the incident . Also they took no claims bonus away from 3 to 0 years and printed it on the certificates as third party damage ! No claim was ever made from either side . Surely that is illegal ?? They are total bandits and con merchants AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!! They clearly dont value their customers at all”

“Had a accident which was none fault, it was all settled renewal time my renewal quote went up over £500? Called and the explanation was “ we find anyone that was involved in an accident is more likely to have another!” Absolutes robbing bleeders!”

“Been with Admiral going to 3 years now and on a multi car insurance. Had an accident since April with just few dents on the driver side of car. Admiral insisted on using its approved repairer who has had the car since April. As at today, the car is still with the repairer ( M& A Coachwork) almost 8 month just to repair body work. I have complained to Admiral and no action has been taken. I am now thinking of starting legal action.”

“Absolute disgrace, we were away on holiday and came home to no electricity lost food in two freezers and one freezer would not turn back, called admiral and was told they would cover the freezer and food plus electrical work. On the second call they had changed there mind and told we had to stand the cost even though this is platinum cover and all there legal team advised is call the ombudsman.”

“Really really bad, I went through the quote and I didn't know I went to 10 months plans instead 12months. I was just about to pay and payment didn't go and call ed to customer service. Then he explained this is a 10 months policy instead 12 months. And be able to change that but when I asked in which step that I can do this selection he mentioned that he is not a website trainer and only he can do that. Quote price increased over 120£”

“Admiral send all non fault accident claims through an accident management company (auxillis). You have to use them if don’t want to claim against your own policy and lose your excess and no claims. This company’s charges are ridiculously high. The £300/ day hire car charges enforced for the period of my car repairs have been rejected by the at fault insurance company, and I find myself heading to court to settle. How is this fair when you are hit by a third party who admits liability! It’s all because of the crazy prices they charge. However cheap the renewal costs are don’t I use them. They won’t support you when you need to claim”

“Their claims process is poorly organised. So many different departments involved. I was passed on to several different staff members, and there was poor communication between them. My policy was cancelled before they had any discussion with me about a settlement. I was not informed of the policy cancellation date. I was treated as though I was at fault for the incident which I wasn’t. Poor handling of cases, poor communication and poor treatment of their paying customers!!”
