Second car "Discount" more expensive than renewal!

1
We bought Admiral car insurance despite it being more expensive than other quote as, we were promised when our second car was due it would be cheaper and we'd see big savings. Reluctantly we paid more, so were horrified when our 2nd car quote with Admiral was £100+ more than the renewal with the existing company. We were certain there must have been a mistake after their promises to save us money, but they were adamant that was the cost. hardly money-saving at all :( Obviously we declined paying an extra £100+ so they then billed us extra as they said we'd had a discount on the first car on the understanding we'd insure our 2nd car with them! Their representative on the 'phone could not see any problem with Admiral's behaviour :/ Reviewed on: 19th March 2016

I was charged a £22 hike to change my address because I moved home...3 doors away on the same street! I changed insurers after that! Reviewed on: 15th March 2016

not very supportive after an accident when I had a witness to show I was not to blame. Also do not honour loyalty Reviewed on: 13th March 2016

I opened a multi car insurance for me and my wife and we saved almost £40 per month by switching from Aviva. The expierence of taking up the insureance was very pleasuurable, with an easy online form for a quote and continuation on the telephone. Very good customer service. And on top of that we were given a free Karcher pressure washer worth £80 (using moneysavingexpert link). Reviewed on: 13th March 2016

My husband and I were very pleased with the price quoted for our multi car insurance policy which we did on the internet. It was quick and easy to get a quote and take out the policy. Reviewed on: 12th March 2016

Sent out a letter with an £800 renewal quote, and then dropped it to £250 when I queried. Exploiting those without access to comparison sites! Reviewed on: 4th March 2016
