Review of the Admiral, Car insurance:

A Breeze

Easy and speedy application with decent pricing through multi policy service. Operators are amazing at simplifying insurance jargon and will really make the job of insurance easy. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Got a policy with yourselves as a first time driver, received the best help, then needed to cancel and change the car on the policy which was easily done and explained thoroughly, every member of staff I’ve encountered has always been genuine and a credit to the team Reviewed on: 3rd September 2018

Not sure yet

I only just started my insurance with admiral and haven't had an accident or something like that yet. I am not British but from another EU country and only just moved to the UK, so I can only compare to practices in that country. When looking for an insurance for my car and comparing different companies, i liked at admirals the calculator on the website and the website chat. The whole process was easy. however, at the end of the process I got very confused and annoyed by all the extra offers on the side. It reminded me of Ryan Air and felt unprofessional and not classy at all. Also, only being able to pay by UK debit transfer felt very oldschool, as I am used to just transfer money via cradit card, paypall and/or EU account. Furthermore, I think talking money for changing the address makes me question Admiral's reliability as i directly thought: "really, they need this kind of money. I wonder what they will be like when I need money from them.". Also, I do not understand why, if Admiral already take money from me for changing the address, but I move into a street, where the policies should be cheaper, why don't Admiral decrease the policy then as well. That would be fair. So, to me at least, it feels like Admiral looks like a good price at the beginning, but I seriously worry about their fairness, reliability and customer-orientation, when it comes to an event where I have to make a claim.

Price, clarity and ease

5
Rather than go to the various comparison websites, which no doubt gain commission from the various companies, we went straight to Admiral and got not only a competitive price but ease of application, and because one car was not due for a further few weeks, everything was arranged in one seamless transaction. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2018

Helpful staff, good price

Tried to buy insurance through compare the market, which proved tricky/confusing, but called Admiral direct and received excellent service. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2018

A costumer mindful Insurance Company

5
Since opting to insure my car with Admiral they have kept me up to date with news and updates without overloading the content. They have been respectful by providing these updates through my desired process of email. Overall, I am extremely pleased with their service and will continue to use and recommend Admital insurance company. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2018

Reasonable and negotiable

5
As with any insurance when the time comes to renew as a young driver I am met with silly renewal quotes. Ten minutes on the phone and the chap was able to knock off some money as a form of loyalty discount and was able to match my preferred monthly payments. Great service all round. Would certainly recommend. Reviewed on: 3rd September 2018

Good
