We had a no fault claim with admiral after a lorry reversed into us. They passed the claim to another company called Auxillis, they have had the car for four months with no information about what is going on. The car is not repairable, this assessment is possible to make in one day. They now say we are to pay to have the car returned even though it's no fault claim and they said we would have nothing to pay and no excess. Do not trust them, terrible service for what should have been a quick and simple resolution. They will not respond to complaints P19131611

Not fit to even obtain the one star . Admiral ask you to use their own garage to save themselves cost , the garage cannot complete works asking if different model parts can be used . In the meantime, ( 3 months)admiral cannot obtain same type courtesy vehicle, so offer a derisory same in lieu of courtesy car ( after telling blatant lies) bunch of scammers . Avoid at all costs

An unsophisticated ad blocker and pay wall. Mostly annoying, but easy to work around.

I was hit by an Admiral insured driver Dec 2 . The driver ignored requests to provide details (a criminal offence). Admiral contacted me just before I contacted the police. Eventually their repairers took my car away. After alot of messing me about my car was returned on Dec 28. Repair was not complete and was taken away again. Finally returned 4/1/2024. Paint job was a poor match. Repairers were slow and did a bad job. Complained to admiral and they rejected - said that my bumper was already the wrong colour before their repairers (Steer of Ayr) repiared it. Not joking.

TOTALLY AVOID AT ALL COSTS. If I could give zero stars I would. I had my car stolen late last year. Admiral gave me a pathetic quote based on some very insignificant details, giving me a proportional settlement which I disputed, which then took 7 weeks to be decided that I won’t get the figure I deserve & just sent the cheques in the post. Embarrassing. TOTALLY AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Absolutely abysmal company to deal with, tried to obtain insurance for my daughter and ended up talking to a supposedly Admiral customer service person who didn’t have a clue and was very hard to understand, do not go near this company , they are dreadful

tried to buy new policy via MSE new Moneysupermarket tool and was directed to Admiral's Indian call centre. 41 minutes on hold all in all. Horrendous experience!

I've been a customer for almost 5 years and I've never been involved in an accident, I've never made a claim. At the end of last year, I renewed my policy annually and also included a second car in my policy (on the Admiral app they say they grant 15%, but there is no such discount). I spoke to an attendant but it was impossible to proceed. This attendant was completely unprepared (she was in training) and constantly interrupted the call and consulted someone else (a boss or supervisor) about my questions, as she didn't know how to answer them. It was impossible to understand what she was saying (she had very bad diction as if she was eating all the time). She interrupted me all the time, not letting me speak. Extremely rude and without technical knowledge. I was on the phone for almost an hour, they didn't resolve what I wanted and they even hung up on me. She could never work in customer service. This company has the worst customer service in the UK. I would not recommend this company to anyone unless you want to be disrespected. I'm going to cancel my policy, it doesn't include my second car in the main policy and my two daughters didn't take out insurance with Admiral, meaning they lost four customers. And I am reporting what happened to all my personal friends and those at my company. He has to learn how to work and respect people—the worst insurance company in the UK.

Do not use this company, storm damage to the render on the side of the house, Assessor turned up saying poor workman ship, the render is only 10yr old, any excuse. Then they tried to put my insurance up an extra £10 a month because of the claim. Shocking service

Absolutely terrible insurance group. Would never recommend. Ive had no claims for 8 years and never made a claim in my life. My car and house insurance for last year was £600 and renewal for this year is £1000. Talk about being a royal customer. Dont not use them

We had home insurance policy with Admiral since 2022. They automatically increased the price of our policy by 60% (!) a year later without getting our consent. They only sent an email to inform us of the policy renewal and we found out the new price increase when seeing our bank statement a few months later. Their agent could not give a single good reason to the 60% price increase. This is insane! How could any insurance provider justify this hefty price increase on the same items being covered? Now to cancel the policy, they want to charge us an extra £80.

Tried doubling my car insurance. Will only let me cancel renewal via the phone and then I hold for 20 minutes (twice) and they cut me off.

Customer service awful, basically accused me if telling lies. CEO couldn't be bothered to reply to my complaint, so so happy when taking your money though, too high up the corporate ladder to speak with a lowly customer.

Crooks, tried to double my insurance. Tried to cancel, had to go through a 15 minute phone call to cancel. Then told I had to pay them £25 cancellation fee, despite being within the law of 14 day refund policy. They said they would take payment out of my bank, they did not, so sent a recovery agency after me. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from a once reputable company.
