Admiral Car insurance reviews (22430)

Extorting customers, very unethical company

Trying to charge me £70 to change a DOB error (from xx/02/1989 to xx/03/1989). Absolutely crazy, £70 to change one number. Worst customer service experience. I initially called to try and add another car to my policy and they tried to charge me £70 for doing nothing! Never going to use this company again!!! Reviewed on: 2nd May 2023

Admiral should rename themselves pirates

Do not take out a travel insurance policy with these charlatans or you'll regret it. I was admitted to St Luke's Medical Centre in Quezon City, the Philippines, in July suffering from dehydration and high blood pressure. In addition to charging me for medications that I was not actually prescribed, the Centre provided me with an inaccurate medical report and other documentation. For example, the Director of Emergency Care, Dr Arnel M. Tolosa, has claimed in writing that I had reported my symptoms on two occasions to the hospital - a complete and utter lie and I can prove it. More seriously, they wrongly claimed that my condition had been caused by excessive alcohol consumption. In fact, I was stone-cold sober when I was admitted and had only imbibed a small amount of alcohol some seven hours before. The much more likely cause was food poisoning or a bad reaction to heat, which staff acknowledged to me verbally at the time. However, Admiral, being monumentally dishonest, unscrupulous and money-grabbing charlatans, have taken St Luke's fabrications at face value and are refusing to pay out my insurance claim for the treatment and the changes to my travel plans it necessitated. This has cost me around £1700. While Admiral refuse to accept the obvious flaws in St Luke's documentation, I can provide eyewitnesses who will swear on affidavits that I had ingested a tiny amount of alcohol that would not have caused my condition. I can also obtain a second medical opinion that would contradict the judgements made by St Luke's staff. But of course Admiral will not accept this evidence because it would compel them to pay up what they owe me. Moreover, their organisation is riddled with incompetence from top to bottom. I have had a separate complaint upheld about being misled time and again by their phone agents. Their compensation offer? An insulting £50. I have been travelling for work and pleasure for 20 years and never have I come across a travel insurance provider this greedy, unhelpful and downright mendacious. Avoid them at all cost - or you'll find it'll cost you an awful lot. Reviewed on: 23rd April 2023

Awful company

Do not bother with this company, they are awful you have to chase daily if you can get through to anyone. They say they are happy to help but do not help. 1 month after my crash they have done nothing to help me. Reviewed on: 13th April 2023

Car insurance

Will never use this insurance for anything ever again. 5 months after an accident still not had car repaired. Passed from one department to another. Spent hours on phone trying to speak to someone. Never phone back. Don't waste your money use someone else!!!!!! Reviewed on: 10th April 2023

Multi insurance

Happy to be able to get a discounted rate for all of our cars and house insurance under one policy Reviewed on: 4th April 2023

Terrible insurance company

I’ve had my policy with admiral for 5 months now, I had an accident 2 weeks ago and they still haven’t issued me with a courtesy car!! It’s absolutely disgusting I’m paying for my policy and still haven’t been issued with a car!! I get through then they put me on hold for over an hour with not a single update the worst insurance provider you could possibly go with wouldn’t recommend what so ever! Reviewed on: 29th March 2023

Credit Help

We wanted to buy a car, but we found out that my credit score was really low to do anything. I had about 10 cards in collections. One was a medical bill I guess. We hired a credit repair agency to assist me with my credit. Within a few weeks, they raised my score to 791, took care of all collection cards and added a seasoned line of credit. We got the new car ASAP. FixMyCredit is a sweetheart, you can hire them too; fixmycredit at writeme com Reviewed on: 28th March 2023

Love the multi car offer

been with Admiral for a while and love the multi car cover. Easy to deal with and no issues. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2023

How on earth is Admiral car insurance 4.8/5

My first, and definitely the last, claim I will be making through Admiral car insurance is an ongoing disaster. Car is off the road after an accident and I have been on the phone for 3 days with them trying to get them to assign the repair to a garage. Twice already they have assigned it to garages who cannot do the work, they will not give you a courtesy car until the car is assigned for repair and they have no idea how long it will take to find a garage, days, months they couldn't care less. I had to tell them that the garages they assigned rejected the jobs as I decided to phone the garages directly. Totally incompetent and as the titled says, how they have 4.8 /5 is frankly a joke.
