Renewal great price Received renewal quote, and to my surprise it had only increased by small amount, and was still cheaper than some quotes I had received. Reviewed on: 12th October 2024

Not had a good experience with my renewal quote. Full of inconsistencies and errors from them. Now wouldn’t trust them to provide adequate cover at all so unsure how good that they would be if a claim ever arose. Have been on the phone to them for 2 hours. Asked to talk to a manager. Someone will call me back within 3 working days by which time my policy will have lapsed! Reviewed on: 11th October 2024

Great home insurance experience!

After moving to a grade 2 listed property our home insurance costs were "out of the park. " The change process with our existing provider was a long painful telephone telephone call with someone who appeared to have little understanding of the property I was describing. The end result a massive increase! After shopping around I decided to try Admiral. I had watched their advert on TV. I applied on line and secured a significant reduction. Despite the listed status the price was less than I had been paying in our previous property! I was so surprised I contacted Admiral customer services just to clarify that everything was correct. The on line application process was simple and straightforward and the customer service person was friendly and competent. I was extremely pleased.. I also receive regular newsletters from the company with seasonal tips and advice to keep our property safe. This was a new and helpful addition, needless to say we renewed with Admiral this year. Long may it last. Reviewed on: 11th October 2024

It was cheapest deal on the market that provided the most extensive cover. The modular nature of the policy meant I could tailor it to my needs and remove unwanted parts. Bespoke and hassle free. Reviewed on: 11th October 2024

Avoid at all costs

Admiral make false and misleading claims when advertising their home insurance policies, namely that they will safeguard consumers from loss and damage which results from criminal activity. I have recently claimed after I was burgled. I provided clear video evidence to the Police and Admiral of criminal activity. The police dealt with the crime swiftly as a burglary - they have arrested and charged an individual. Admiral on the other hand worked to make convenient assumptions and speculations resulting in them refusing to pay out anything. I am now left with a bill of five figures and nothing to show for 7 years of work. Having been a loyal Admiral customer for car and home insurance for many years. Admiral claim to care about customer service but when they have opportunities to look after their customers in need they decided to put corporate interests first and simply state they are 'following process'. Avoid at all costs - awful company. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2024
