Underhand practices

1
I had car insurance from Admiral. They sent me a renewal quote which was 40% higher that the first year despite having no claims throughout the year. I shopped around and took out a much cheaper policy with another insurer. Admiral contacted me saying they had automatically renewed my car insurance and took the money from my account (as I had given them my bank details the previous year). I had not requested this and had never encountered such 'automatic renewals' without any form of customer acceptance with any other insurer. This is definitely not a company I would seek to have any involvement with again. Reviewed on: 10th December 2016

Good service until this year

I was involved in an accident - NON fault. They upped my insurance by £500, because someone else hit me. They also added a non claim incident (Where I bumped my car into pole) and upped my insurance again... Despite nothing being claimed. Real shame that they became money hungry as I would of remained a regular customer. Reviewed on: 28th November 2016

Zero stars

The worst experience with customer services as I spend more than one hour being passed to 3 different people. They couldn't explain logically the reason of doubling the price of own policy when you add another car on different policy (as by now I paid £500 per year and for my next year it will be £500 for 6 months just for one car)...no logic...no sense at all. Really disappointed by people hired at their customer services! Reviewed on: 17th November 2016

Car Insurance and Multi car

4
Been with admiral quite a few years now. Happy with them and always good for multicar policy especially when changing vehicles a few times. Only thing that annoys me is when you get the renewal through you have to phone back to get a better price. The best price should be on the renewal anyway (I think this is the same with most companies though) Reviewed on: 25th October 2016

Need to push them for best pricing

4
I've used Admiral for car insurance for around 10 years. Every year they jack the price up massively, and every year I call them and they cut it back to beat just about any other provider in the market. Not sure why we have to go through this annual farce, but other than that, can't fault them. Oh, and they wanted to charge me £19 to change my numberplates, but told them to sling their hook and they relented. Reviewed on: 20th October 2016

Prompt & Suportive

5
When I had an accident - someone drove into the side of me on a roundabout - I was shaken up and had not experienced an accident before. Admiral were supportive and gave practical help like getting the car moved from the side of the road and rang regularly to make sure I was up to date. Would recommend them!
