“Chose to renew my car insurance with another company as Admiral had hicked the price, got this confirmed by email.
Admiral then went and took the money from my credit card 2 weeks later!
Wouldn't respond to my complaint for refunding it as they effectively 'stole' that money, credit card company stepped in and got the refund.
Appalling company, underhand and deceitful.”
“Only AFTER I had queried it and then ADDED details of speed awareness course, as they required, I accepted their online motor quote but Admiral wrote charging me an extra c. £43 extra for "updating my conviction history". I protested; they agreed I had entered the SP30 and adjusted it to c £34, to included "administration charges" although it was not my fault they got it wrong. I said I would cancel because it was within the 14 day cooling off period and they reminded me there would be a £25 cancellation fee. The policy is not even due to start for another week!!! This is sharp practice! Avoid like poison.”
“Admiral is the only car insurance that loads excess due to having attended a driver speed awareness course which due to attending does not create points on dvr licence thus not regarded as an offence being committed along with making the driver more aware of speeds for areas traveler along.
This company is falsely extorting money from client's.
Would not recomended.”
“They cancelled my policy because I missed two payments. Now they won't renew my policy I've got to pay the outstanding balance. I've also got to find another car insurance plus still pay my outstanding balance. They are the worse car insurance ever not helpful at all. They are shit”
“They wanted to charge me an excess of £375 as I had only been driving my car for 2 years, midway through my policy. Just a total con. I accordingly cancelled my insurance and am now insured with another via a comparison web site at a significantly lesser figure. Admiral are just con artists.”
“I am not all that happy as I found the process very hard with so many questions bothering an was unable to complete the process on the website but had to ring them”
“Went through a cash back site, admiral experience an IT issue but said I was still eligible for the cash back (I have the email which they sent confirming this) and would receive it after 90days, did not receive this, I chase them and they now say I am not eligle for this. The cash back was the only reason I went with them as without it other places were cheaper. Will not use them again as they do not stick with their word”
