It doesn't the job

3
That was one of the cheapest deal I found. However each year they try to double the premium up. Means I have to call them to negotiate and ask them 3 times for a discount. They seem to make it up. At least my car is insured. Reviewed on: 24th July 2017

Affordable and value for money

Good for young drivers

5
Best quote for my son when he passed his test. having the black box in the car helped to embed good standards in his driving Reviewed on: 23rd July 2017

Terrible customer service

1
I took out cover with admiral based on their low prices and I will never do it again. I had a myriad of issues ranging from them cancelling my direct debit and then cancelling my policy to them confusing me with my twin sister due to us sharing a lot of details and calling me to advise me that I had lied about a past incident and they were increasing the policy cost by almost half. They were extremely rude and not at all apologetic on both occasions. Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

All the family insured in one policy

5
Now our children are driving their own cars we have undoubtedly saved money (and a lot of hassle) insuring with Admiral Multi-car. Very easy and competitive and helpful people to deal with on the phone! Reviewed on: 21st July 2017

Easy, Simple and Effective

5
Switching to Admiral was refreshingly easy and simple. I managed to half my car insurance payments in just a few easy steps, whilst getting a more effective and comprehensive policy. I am not hassled by spam emails and I know that my insurance is secure. Reviewed on: 20th July 2017

Admiral Good VFM but hard sell.

4
I recently brought Admiral Car Insurance on-line through a comparison website but I could not complete or buy it on-line. I had phone them and then it could a long time and two phones to complete the purchase eventually. I was looking to buy one car product but they insisted on trying to sell for two cars and home insurance as well. This combination of not completing on-line and hard sell will cost them a lot customers in the future. Please Admiral make life easier and simpler and avoid the hard see. Reviewed on: 20th July 2017

Fantastic Young Driver Insurance

5
My son passed his driving test at 17 & this quote was £100's cheaper than competitors and no black box. As parents we added our names to the policy too which I believe bought the price down, Reviewed on: 19th July 2017

Cheaper renewal quote

5
Gave a really good renewal quote which was cheaper than competitors . Saved me a lot of money and no excess charges. Reviewed on: 19th July 2017

Competitive quotes

I have been with Admiral for a number of years. I have found them to be consistently the cheapest out of the main insurance companies. Reviewed on: 18th July 2017
