“Claimed on my insurance for an accident that wasn't my fault,someone drove into my car when it was parked,and all handled well enough although slowly but now i find it has affected my renewal price and that of my children where i am down as a named driver and their insurance is with one of the admiral companies.Did not affect the price on another child who has insurance with a different company.Why should me and my children be out of pocket for an accident that was not my fault?????? needless to say we are all moving our insurance so well done Admiral you have lost 3 customers”

“Claim still ongoing. Have not had any updates other than when I called them. Sold my car, got a new one, was given an extortionate price to add to my multi car policy, and an extortionate price for new policy... The online price via a compare site was several hundred pounds cheaper. I went elsewhere and saved over £500 With another company.”

“Someone had hit my car while I was not in there although there was CCTV on the premises admiral failed to gain a copy even with me stating at the time of the claim there was CCTV so now 7 months on I'm still waiting as other driver claims I reversed into them Something CCTV would have answered straight away! So instead Admiral doubled my premium and took without me even knowing so be careful they will take next years premium if you don't respond back and make sure you check junk mail as that's where your next years quotation will go. All in all very disappointed with admiral they haven't bothered with my claim just dragged there feet for 7 months,”

“Up until I had to make a claim my opinion of Admiral was a good one. However, when I had cause to make a claim on my insurance due to my car being hit when it was parked outside my house, my initial positive opinion was completely blown apart. Whilst the staff I dealt with were courteous and polite, the way Admiral dealt with the claim was certainly not of a satisfactory standard. Even though I had a witness to the accident (which was clearly not my fault as I was not in the vehicle at the time), and a piece of the vehicle that hit me was left embedded in my vehicle (this was later matched to the offending vehicle at a later date), I feel that Admiral did not 'fight my corner' in getting liability admitted at all. In fact 4 weeks after the claim was made I was told by Admiral that they would be closing the case unless they received a copy of the witness statement which had been emailed across to them by myself twice and a copy also posted. The vehicle that hit my car belonged to a very well known and respected company and had it not been for me continually chasing them on an almost daily basis for nearly 3 months and having to get their PR department involved, liability would not have ever been obtained and I would have lost my no claims discount and excess payment etc. I do feel very let down strongly believe that once Admiral had got my money (they weren't the cheapest option but I wanted to be insured with a company I believed at the time to be reputable ) they just didn't care. I'm afraid that based on my experience I could not and would not recommend Admiral and I will not be insuring with them in the future.”

“I have contacted Admiral about my next years Quotation. I have been told they cannot give me this till three weeks before the current quote expires. This is very poor as I wish to compare other quotes, as I have changed one of three cars, and my grandson who owns one of the cars becomes 21 about 5 weeks before the new quote is due. I think this very poor, as other insurance companies usually will quote for 60 days in advance. At this stage unless Admiral are much cheaper I am thinking of changing due to their unhelpful attitude.”

“It wasn't made clear at the start that I needed to provide valuations for 2 specified items until I was so far down the line I had to do it. The first item cost me £60 to value as it was over 3 years old. With the second as my purchase receipt was less than 3 years old but in a foreign currency. However because of currency and other changes the value at today's conversion rate was significantly below the current UK value which I had checked. They consistently argued that they could only value it at the purchase amount converted at the current rate and that if this was insufficient for them to source a replacement in the UK they would give me the cash which would put me in a 'no worse position' - which clearly it would. Only when referred as far as it would go internally (4 escalating call backs from them) did they recognize that this was a flaw in their system as they hadn't received a purchase receipt in foreign currency previously. After this they said they would amend their internal procedures and agreed to insure the item for the amount I had specified. All ended well but was a fair amount of hassle to get it resolved.”

“Lack of communication with phone calls. Never leave messages and ring on unknown number which I do not answer as usually spam calls. Never contact you via email either. Still not heard from them in 3 months.”
