Review summary
People rate this company as Excellent based on 36,101 product reviews
Admiral impresses with easy online processes, competitive pricing, and friendly, helpful customer service across car, home, and travel insurance. Many appreciate the multi-cover convenience and prompt claim handling when it goes smoothly. However, a large number find renewal prices frustratingly high and inconsistent, often needing to call for discounts. Claims experiences vary widely, with some praising quick support but many reporting long delays, poor communication, and unresolved issues that cause real stress.

The bluntest of blunt tools.

My wife is a very careful and cautious driver and has never had an accident in over 25 years. She drives a BMW IX3. The initial blackbox review arrived today telling us that her driving is 'poor'. The smoothness was 4/4 and speeding 5/5 but the night time driving was 1/5 which gave an overall score of 'poor'. So, they decided that we drive excessively at night 10pm-4am. The fact is that she is 70 years old and generally goes to bed at 10.30pm. The exceptions are Wednesday and Friday nights when we go out (3 miles away) and get home by 10.30pm. So, 2 x 30 minutes per week which represents about 30 miles per month but reduces the driving score from 5/5 to 1/5. The problem is that the blackbox scoring is a very blunt instrument. It seems that driving at 10,01pm and driving through the night from a rave attract the same score, In any case the feedback is without detail and does not help. Overall, it seems useless as a tool to help driving, and I am actively looking round for a better alternative. Read more Read less

I bought Amiral Travel insurance and upgraded the cover thinking it woulx give me peace of mind. After returning from Marakesh, I realised I had left my reading glasses and tinted long range pair in the hotel room. I emailed the hotel but got no response so I claimed off my insurance. Ive been asked for documents several times and still have no settlement. I had only had the glasses for 4 weeks but Admiral say they are going to make me an offer! How long does it take for such a small claim. I will not be going with them in the future Read more Read less
