Review of the Admiral, Car insurance:

Car insurance

Rates are really competitive and the app is easy to add or make changes to your policy. Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

It fulfills the legal requirement but that's it

1
Your vehicle isn't really insured because they will try everything to avoid processing your claim. It's nearly 11 weeks since I was involved in a no-fault accident, and they have done nothing whatsoever to help and everything in their power to hinder. I don't have any experience of making insurance claims, but I wouldn't advise anyone to use Admiral unless it's very, very cheap and its 3rd party only (you're not getting anything more than 3rd party only when you pay the extra for fully comp). Best advice is to steer well clear ! Reviewed on: 19th October 2022

Great customer service

5
Appreciate it’s a little more difficult in getting through at the moment, but when I have done, twice in last few months have had great customer service. Patient and helpful. Hope the renewal figures match the service on November Reviewed on: 16th October 2022

Best insurer I have ever had

I have been with admiral for so many years now have never had a reason to want to leave. Always easy to get through to on the phone for renewals or queries. I had to make a claim once and was very straightforward Reviewed on: 14th October 2022

Best insurer I have been with

Admiral have been amazing since I joined them, their staff are always polite and so helpful and nothing is ever a bother. I don’t think I’d leave Admiral unless it was due to financial reasons. Reviewed on: 14th October 2022

Easy Friendly Competitive Car Insurance

Easy no nonsense competitive quotes. They keep you up to date with news throughout the year and give discounts the more products you buy. Reviewed on: 13th October 2022

Avoid this insurance company

1
I had accident a month ago. Still waiting for repair. Called them many times, always waiting at least 40 minutes before I was able to talk to someone.No respond. The worse insurance company I ever had Reviewed on: 12th October 2022

Bad company the worse kind

1
This insurance company is impossible to contact when you want to cancel and your credit rating will plummet if you do you can't not trust this company be warned Reviewed on: 12th October 2022

Never choose

1
Very bad experience. The worst customer service I have ever seen. I have reported an incident I made with my car that was really small-I regret reporting it now- and I took responsibility even before the third party reports it, if they did at all. I have been chasing the claim department for a month now after the garage they referred me to bounced back the job to them 3 weeks ago. I tried several times on the phone and every time I am put on waiting for 40-60 minutes and then the line drops. I have sent 2 emails and never got a reply. Very cheap company and I never recommend it even if it offers the lowest quote. Stay away, it is a trap. Reviewed on: 11th October 2022

Great for young Drivers
