Multi-car policies don't always offer the best value. In fact, sometimes they can actually be the most expensive option. Our family Admiral multi-car policy covers my wife's and my own car. Our son was also on the policy with his own car that he sold earlier this year. He has now bought another car and so I telephoned Admiral to add him back onto our policy. I was quoted £858 to include him up until the renewal date in October - basically £858 for 6 months' remaining cover. My son decided to run a comparison site check whilst I was calling them. He discovered that the same company quoted him £750 for a brand new policy of his own! Thankfully he let me know before I accepted the telephone quote. So beware! Always check the market before adding a car to a multi-car policy. And after this experience we'll also be checking the market for separate quotes before automatically renewing our multi-car policy.

Disgusting customer service, took a policy out through a compare site. To then be emailed a few weeks later stating they are taking another payment of the same price. When no details changed. Have gone with another company all the same details half as cheap Will never go with them again. Make sure you check your bank statements.

Worse insurance company I have ever used. Avoid like the plague. Just been in collusion, had to pay for recovery £108 to recover my vehicle which was blocking the road, even though I was sat in an ambulance. 2.5 hrs on the phone failed to do anything. Tried to excess money from me at the scene of the accident. Vehicle is a right off, someone drove up the back of me at 40 mph while is was stationary. Insurance company have done nothing refusing to supply me courtesy car do how do I get to work. This is not my fault, they just leave you stranded awful, appalling service, promises of call backs at the accident scene never happened. They couldn't give a damn about you just tried to get money. Run if your thinking of using them. Go to a decent company.

Had to cancel my wife's car insurance with four months remaining on the policy due to her serious health issues which means that she can no longer drive. Customer Services were to say the least very unhelpful and unsympathetic and the penalty for cancelling early was extortionate. I work for a multi national company with 30,000 employees and I will be circulating an email to everyone recommending that they avoid using Admiral for future car insurance.

All was well until I had to make a claim then the service I have received was nothing apart from apoling . I was told by one person that my car was being picked up straight away and a courtesy car would be out as well that was on the 19th of March . Car didn't get picked up till 21 March where I still didn't get a courtesy car after again being told I was.The courtesy car got delivered on the 23 March which was to small and a manual car when I asked admiral to send a auto as I have a bad leg . In between all this i made a complaint about the service and a claim manager called me to apologise for the service I had received and offered me 50 pound companshion.since then I have not heard from admiral and I had to keep phoning the garage that was repairing my car as they also keeped putting me off with delivery date that never came I got the car back on Monday 11 April but unhappy with the repair car was covered in dust inside and I don't think the paint finish is good .So all in all I will never recommended admair in fact I would go as fair as saying stay well back . Poor service all round

Ben - Renewals He was brilliant, answered all my questions in a happy and professional way. Really enjoyed my phone call with him. He was very informative and definitely knew what he was talking about. Been with Admiral car insurance for a year going into my second year and I have always been very impressed with the service they provide and will probably stick with them for the rest of my driving insurance policies. I would recommend Admiral to anyone! Thanks again Ben!

I had narrowed my search down to 3 companies, one of which was my then current provider. Of those only Admiral rang me back, so they got the business. Had to let my then current provider down gently. Maybe they do not value my custom as much as Admiral. No claim made so far so cannot comment on that aspect of Admiral.

I found the quote for bringing my second vehicle onto the policy was misleading. The documents when they arrived were incorrect, which leaves me feeling low on confidence when thinking about Admiral

Cancelled the policy because of the attitude of the sales rep who doubted my integrity because I didn't have some information to hand. Also, the suggested price on the price comparison website had no bearing on the quote offered. Will not use them again.

Without a doubt the worse insurance company I have ever come across. Unfortunately had to make a claim as my parked car was involved in a hit and run, the way admiral handled the claim was disgusting, it took 5 days countless number of phone calls and a discussion with a manager to get anything done. They are a complete shambles and will be avoiding them like the plague in the future.
