“Agreed to take out admiral insurance on my BMW 6 series a year ago as my annual mileage has dropped to 4000. The charge was cheap as I agreed to Telematics in exchange for low premium. Bad Choice! I have paid out more than the cost of Insurance, as I drove my car to the Garage several times when my on board computer, each time, warned me of imminent mechanical failure of one sort or other. Complained to Admiral several times but they sent a Technician out once only when they learnt I had planned to terminate the obnoxious Telematics. The last straw was last December, when my battery went dead! BMW Garages later told me that, Telematics has always interfered with the electronics of BMW 6 Series as well being an enormous drain on the battery! Admiral did not warn me!”

“If i could give a zero i would. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING... spoke to someone saying my car was broken down and at the garage so they couldnt work on my littlebox as i didnt have the car. They have now increased my insurance...an excess of just over £200... i dont know where they expect me to get this money from as i bought a car from a dealer that was faulty...been at garage for 4mnths and i told them this. Now they are saying because i spoke to the engineers i should have spoken to them too. But they are YOUR engineers!!! You asked them to call me. Soo upsetting as i have spent ao much already and paid insurance for 4mnths whilst car was at garage. What you are doing and have done is so wrong on so many levels Admiral..so wrong.”

“Bad experience with Admiral after hit and run accident. They never paid me, not having after 1 month from incident nothing in their system. They was expected me to claim on my insurance, because they can not afford to loose money in their business. Fully not recommended, not going forward with them.”

“I have admiral house insurance paid my premiums in good faith for never made a claim until 14th December 2018 when I had a burst pipe that ruined my kitchen floor and decor . I took photos and contacted admiral after 6 weeks they finally sent an assessor to look at the damage that was still evident my flooring and underborading was ruined and the skirting boards damp cracked and cracked paint on the walls . They then took another 2 weeks to send me an insulting offensive letter stating that no unforeseen water escape had occurred and that it was rising damp that is not covered on my policy . I am appalled my home was built in the 1970’s and has a fitted damp proof course I have never had rising damp . I have taken further photos of evidence now it has dried out and am seeking another assessment from a competent building surveyor to evidence the dishonesty of admiral at least if you are trying to default on a contract do it with something half competent rather than a fabrication and I suggest you employ assessors who know a little about buildings . I have been caused undue stress and had to take a loan out to get my home in a state of repair . My premiums have been taken fraudently and I am seeking legal advice shame on you admiral”

“My car was run into by a third party; the damage was such that Admiral declared it a write-off. Despite policy wording around paying out “market value” and “this is so you can replace the car with one of similar age, condition, mileage and specification”, they failed to do this, and short-changed me by around £700. Have cancelled all remaining policies, referred my case to the Ombudsman, and will never again use Admiral.”

“Got quoted £1300 until I told them about a non fault claim (when Someone drove into my parked car) meaning I still had 3 years no claims and they put it up £800 saying I’m more of a risk!! Basically no claims bonuses are useless.. Absolute joke would never use them again!!”

“I have my car insurance with Admiral but fortunately I haven't had to submit a claim with them. Recently, they sent me a renewal proposal that meant an increase in premium of ~£20, an example of loyalty penalty. I found a cheaper quote from another provider (~£60 cheaper) and called Admiral to cancel the renewal. They were very friendly and matched the quote I had. For the same cost, I then decided to stay with Admiral (less hassle than changing).”

“Was in a non-fault accident where my car was written off. Was declared not at fault in just a few days, gave all the information they needed, got a full medical report from the GP and 17 months later, I've still not a penny of the £3000 they told me I should get from the other side because they're extremely slow with contacting me or the other side. I've paid a fortune in calls to admiral. I call ever couple of days and changed my insurer a YEAR ago to Hastings (best decision ever) and still there's no progress whatsoever in my claim!”

“really bad customer service. They stated that there was an issue with the "Claims Underwriting data base". I had to hold the line for over 15 minutes before they stated that everyone was OK. The whole experience including the 10 minutes on-line application was far too stressful.”
