DO NOT INSURE YOUR SELF WITH ADMIRAL.

1
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.

Worst experience ever

1
Had the worst experience ever with Admiral Insurance. After we were involved in a crash, their "investigator" failed to get CCTV footage that showed the other driver was liable. They then said that their investigation was based on photos both drivers supplied and Google Maps. Admiral then rolled over and said that I was fully liable, rather than sharing equal responsibility because they had failed to obtain the CCTV footage. Not to be trusted.

Yearly increase and admin costs means I switched

2
Admin fee of £50 quid to change registration. Said minimum cost would be £19, I called to try and get minimum as it's a basic admin change. No desire to help me out on this. I ask to cancel the autorenewal due to this. They still tried to take payment for autorenewal after this. The price increased by £200 since last year and this was a similar story to previous year when I missed 14 day opt out period as I forgot I had autorenewal set up. So £400 increase in two years for 2 drivers over 40 with 7 and 12 years no claims. I went elsewhere. I wish these companies would just try to offer the same price point year on year to retain customers. Reviewed on: 25th September 2019
