Admiral Car insurance reviews (22437)

Good value cover

I searched on a comparison website for the best value car insurance and admiral was top of the list. The application was simple and easy and have yet to have to claim on it. Reviewed on: 30th April 2020

Always there to help

Easy sign up, responds within days, convenient online chat, always sorted my problems Reviewed on: 29th April 2020

Premium triplicated after 12 months

Premium paid on 14th of May £640.00 Renewal quote on 24th of April £1715.00 Same multi-car policy, same drivers, same location, same mileage. Absolute rip-off. Avoid-Avoid-Avoid Reviewed on: 24th April 2020

Admiral just want your money

There was a fraudulent claim against me and I co operated and provided all necessary information and the claim was taken off my records. Then my premium was raised when no claim was made. How can my premium go up when I haven’t claimed? I contacted admiral and got nowhere was passed from 1 department to the next not resolving anything, it is clear that admiral are not interested in providing a service they just want your money and will charge more at any given opportunity.

I've been conned by my own insurance and the car is to be written off

Admiral has been my first insurance in the UK. Following an accident, I filed a claim to have my car repaired. I gave them video evidence that the other car was driving without due care, but they wouldn't even look at it and decided I was fully liable. They booked me a garage appointment for after a week, during which I was driving my car. After dropping the car and getting the courtesy car, it took the garage another WEEK to get a repair estimate. I complained to Admiral but they wouldn't bother. I never got the estimate but I did get a call from Admiral about my car being a total loss and unroadworthy. I had to chase them to get the repair quote, which never had any info about the individual costs or the engineer's report. I then had to request any info about myself and my property under GDPR rules. Even then, the engineer's report was seriously lacking, with limited comments about the required repairs and no justification about the write off. They valued the car at £4300 and the repairs at £3700. I gave them another repair quote at £2400. Still a total loss. I argued that the car is worth at least £5000, gave them ads from autotrader of the same car, they couldnt care less! I had to get an independent assessor to get a valuation of my car at £5000, with a glass guide price of £5200!!! I offered alternative arrangements, including cancelling the claim, Cash In Lieu agreement, contract repair, me covering part of the repair cost, proof that the garage over-inflated the price. They COULDN'T CARE LESS, didn't even comment on this. I underlined the fact that the car was NOT a total loss but a CONSTRUCTIVE total loss, they don't care. I argued that NOWHERE on my policy they define what "not economical to repair" is, which means that by default definition option A is more economical than option B when cost A < cost B. They said they don't disclose this information or the repair to value ratio, which could be considered unfair terms and conditions. In this matter I believe they are in breach of their contract and I will be taking the matter further with the financial ombudsman. I am now 3 weeks without a car, my car is parked outside yet Im not allowed to drive it since Admiral believes it is unroadworthy and I can't repair it because they haven't agreed on repairs.

DO NOT INSURE YOUR SELF WITH ADMIRAL.

DO NOT INSURE YOUR SELF WITH ADMIRAL. My vehicle was stolen over 3 months ago and I have a crime number from the police and CCTV to prove my vehicle was stolen in the early hours of the morning. I sent them all the details they required within the first 7 days of the incident. ADMIRAL HAVE STILL NOT PAID ME OUT. They do not seem to care about me as a customer and do not contact me to keep me up to date. I have repeatedly sent emails and called them but they make up different excuses all the time. I am unable to buy a new van for my business as they have not paid me yet so it is costing me a lot of money to hire a van temporarily. I'm sure they would have resolved this issue if I was covered for a courtesy vehicle from them if my vehicle was stolen but I wasn't covered for this. DO NOT INSURE YOUR SELF WITH ADMIRAL. I would rather pay extra and get insured by someone who cares for there customers.
