Vehicle valuation and no claims is utterly pointless. My vehicle was insured with them, fully comprehensive. It got a small dent and they refused to fix it, only offering for me to scrap the vehicle with... Read more Reviewed on: 2nd September 2026

Great cover, great prices

I have been with Admiral for 4 years, every year I do a price comparison to see if I can get better elsewhere and year on year Admiral have always been the best. Reviewed on: 23rd May 2016

Terrible, stay well clear

The worst insurance company I have ever had to deal with. Unfortunately I had to make a claim as my parked car was involved in a hit and run, the way admiral handled the claim was disgusting it took 5 days countless phone calls and a conversation with a manager to get things moving. Will be avoiding them and there sister companies in the future. My advice, stay well clear! Reviewed on: 11th April 2016

Cheap prices , easy documents

I changed my car over 2 weeks before policy ended , did not cost me anything was dealt with quickly and recieved documents immediately Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Good insurance cover but doesn't pay to be loyal.

Hassle free purchase of car insurance for my first car using Admiral, and in fact used them two years running - problem free. This year I got a quote at renewal time and despite the fact I'm no longer a 'young driver' and have 2 years no claims my quote, for the same car, was much more expensive. I got a new quote online on the easy to use Admiral website which was far cheaper than their renewal quote so went with that. I'm really happy with the level of the cover and the ease of buying is a bonus, the price was by far the cheapest I found on the market - would recommend but beware of the expensive automatic renewal quote.

Best price quoted

4
After searching for various quotes, Admiral gave the best price with great cover. I was able to pay monthly, making it easier to spread the cost over the year, rather than paying it all in one hit. Registration was easy and I can monitor my daughters driving record to make sure she is driving safely. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

admiral most admired company!!

Admiral love people. I took out car insurance with ease and comfort. There are friendly upfront no nonsense force selling and great team. Admiral also match price uve found cheaper like on comparison websites Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Unexpectedly consistently wonderful!

5
Took out car insurance with Admiral a couple of years ago as comparisons showed it had the best price. Upon renewal ready to do the usual comparisons and swapping over again I was amazed to find that they actually sent me a competative renewal quote which is not something I have ever really experienced with renewals. They've also got great staff and call centre so when I have gone through the renewal process its straightforward and friendly and great service. I've been with them a couple of years now. Best financial product and company that I have ever dealt with. Reviewed on: 28th March 2016

Easy

Very Pleased

I have been with admiral for quite a few years now and I have not had any problem with them, very pleased with this insurer. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2016

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
