Great customer service

4
Fast resolution when making a claim with helpful and friendly advisors Reviewed on: 8th October 2016

Cheapest quote

4
We've always had cheapest quote from them. They've also been brilliant with dealing with claims. Reviewed on: 25th September 2016

Okay service, but hard work to get who you need to speak to

3
Their heavy use of Indian call centres is very frustrating. I am in no way prejudice, I simply cannot understand them. Went on the usual price comparison websites to see what was out there, saw that it was very much cheaper. Rang Admiral, eventually got through to a UK based call handler to discuss my renewal. Through negotiating the renewal point by point, I managed to get it reduced by £290. Why could they have not given me this deal in the first place? Very frustrating , had I not followed this route, it would have left me unnecessarily out of pocket. This time next year, I won't be as hesitant in getting what I want. You don't ask, you don't get.

Efficient and competitive

5
Excellent online quote system and telephone support. Competitive pricing. Very satisfied. Reviewed on: 21st September 2016

Terrible avoid at all cost

1
I found out through reviews of a particular garage that admiral has sending people there and the bodywork has been falling of immediately after being fixed. Sadly I found it out the hard way After it had happened to me. My excess was not easy to get to pay for the work. I am hard done by. Avoid admiral at all cost. They could not care less. I am just the little person. It was hard to fight against the big orginisation. Avoid. Reviewed on: 21st September 2016

Does what it says on the tin

5
No nonsense good value. Their automatic renewal price beat all the price comparison sites without me having to lift a finger. Well done on such good value Admiral. Reviewed on: 18th September 2016

Great Multi-car insurance

Why Admiral

5
Cheaper on renewal than new quotes. Amazing! Reviewed on: 12th September 2016

Great, quick, reliable

5
I was insured with Admiral when another car crashed into me. They were really quick to contact the other insurers. They sorted me out with a hire car quickly. Obviously a situation that was quite traumatic at the time was handled professionally and efficiently. Reviewed on: 12th September 2016

Good service, reasonably priced

3
Helpful friendly staff, reasonable deal not the cheapest but far from the most expensive and as they are a big well known name I have more trust in them than I would I name I'd never heard of. Reviewed on: 12th September 2016
