I lost my phone in Majorca. I put a claim in and submitted around 10 pictures of evidence. Police report etc. after 8 days I received a call informing me that would would pay the full amount minus 10 percent because the phone was older. I could not be happier with the service.

senseless and uncaring approach

After waiting over a month I have had my claim declined because I hadn’t reported the loss to police. I’m not sure why anyone would report losing some headphones to the police. I made the claim whilst I was still within my insured period but nonetheless admiral say they cannot go against the fact I need a report filed within 24 hours, even despite being on a road trip in a country I didn’t have phone signal in. Senseless, thoughtless and careless approach to people. People take out insurance for protection and safety and this company will sidestep all they can to avoid their responsibility to the customer.

    If you have insured your Ford Transit recovery truck with Admiral, you will find you are not insured. We only found out when the truck was stolen.

Admiral have claimed I made a claim in the past 3 years when I hadn't made any claim or report. Then using a computer generated a £500+ more premium for me. So ridiculous, no one to talk to with any power to fix it. Read more Read less

I logged the problem wiht e air line then treid to claom when I go home. They want receptys for everything who keeps these. Or photos of me in the outfits with links to the vendor. I do not have photos of me in my pants but everyone takes pants clothes and toiletries on holiday. Air europa are being impossible to communicate with to confirm bag lost not delayed.

Incompetent and lacking capacity to do the real work (managing insurance claims effectively) You should look at how insurers handle claims. In my case they have badly messed up 2 claims and the subsequent complaints. I think they have staff competency and capacity issues. It has been 1 year since these issues started and honestly Admiral can't seem to do anything right. Issues: - Fraudulent third party claim for over £4000 excess work unresolved. I have provided images of the third party car at the time of the incident showing none of the extensive damages claimed for were present on the car at the time but Admiral have done nothing. -Admiral extremely pressuring me with Copart to give them my car for scrap without explaining that I could retain the car. -Admiral applying the wrong category for write off. Then saying they have corrected when they haven't (which would have got me in trouble with the DVLA). I checked myself and found that they still had not put the correct category on. -Admiral never starting proceedings with third party insurer to recover excess (incident in February 2024). They like sending emails and saying they've done all they can. So you will be without your excess for months. - Admiral complaints team seem to be over burdened. They do not reply to emails or investigate concerns. If they do reply they will not Get your complaint in early so that you can take them to Ombudsman instead. -Admiral privacy team does not provide all phone calls as part of a subject access request. It will be the phone calls that you actually need (the ones where they pressured you or made mistakes) that they will not provide. This is illegal. My premium has increased and I am at least £600 down. Save your money and go to a competent insurer. Read more Read less

I bought travel insurance from Admiral, it covered Russia and the countries I visited. I felt bad in Turkey, the same day I went to Russia and it turned out that I had Covid. the admiral rejected the claim because FCDO has advised against all travel to Russia. moreover, I had to shorten my trip and come back when I recovered, all tickets were lost... they are a very fake company, if you want to be cheated, get insurance with ADMiRAL. It's not my fault that I got sick and lost a lot of money, that's what insurance is for in such cases. I feel discriminated against Isn't professional Read more Read less
