Poor customer service and I was charged a £30 admin fee for nothing. When I emailed for information I received a blank response. Don't choose Admiral, they are very unprofessional timewasters. Reviewed on: 12th June 2018

YOU NEVER RECEIVE A CLAIM.....AVOID ADMIRAL

1
AVOID ADMIRAL... AVOID ADMIRAL...EVEN WITH FULLY COMP IN ACCIDENT PROVEN WITH DASHCAM BEING FAULT OF OTHER DRIVER THEY MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE, WISH I PAID MORE FOR A PROPER INSURANCE COMPANY. I insured my car with admiral for 2 years, every time fully comp paid in one amount. Last week I had for my first time an accident that wasn't my fault, recorded with a RAC dash cam. Because the other driver didn't admit liability I chose to rely on Admiral and than they to recover the amount from other driver. For a couple of days they said that my car cannot be fixed and they need to evaluate my car, which I agree to. I told them that I am going in holiday this week and they assured me that we will finish all the process until I will go in holiday. After I rejected their first offer to buy the car from me, they agree to pay me less and to keep the car. Today, just on the last moment to go in holiday they changed their mind completely, after whole week told me my car is total loss. They say they cannot give any compensation, that my car is a EASY FIX only in their garage if I want a courtesy car, because their ENGINEER decided so. HOW IS POSSIBLE TO TELL ME THE ALL WEEK THAT MY CAR CANNOT BE FIXED AND TO GIVE IT TO THEM FOR A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY, AND after I said NO....is a EASY FIX...ADMIRAL WE, YOUR CUSTOMERS, WE ARE NOT IDIOTS....YOU TRY TO SCAM ME...and also thanks for ruining my holiday, by giving my false hope of easy resolve of the case...this with only 1 day before my holiday....AVOID ADMIRAL!!!!!

WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!!!!

1
WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN!!!! So I took out a policy that matched the milage of my lease for my car. Admiral sent me an email stating thta they'll increase my mileage because they predict I will go over my milage (Note: I haven't even reached half my mileage and I have 6 months left). I sent an email telling them I would not like to increase my mileage. They ignored my email and took funds from my account. I'm highly disapointed and I am told I will get my money at the end of the contract should I stay within my mileage. I believe this is so unprofessional and I will never use their services again Reviewed on: 15th May 2018
