Review of the Admiral, Travel Insurance:

My luggage was lost en route to Havana from London.

My luggage was lsot en route to Havan from LOndon. I logged the problem wiht e air line then treid to claom when I go home. They want receptys for everything who keeps these. Or photos of me in the outfits with links to the vendor. I do not have photos of me in my pants but everyone takes pants clothes and toiletries on holiday. Air europa are being impossible to communicate with to confirm bag lost not delayed. Stuck Reviewed on: 6th January 2025

Questions, questions, questions

I wanted travel insurance to Canada and asked for a quote. I was sent a list of questions, as I had a condition that I had told them about. I answered the questions, I was then sent another list of questions, and told them I had answered them. They sent another list of questions, which was again the same, except for ONE ONLY additional question. I answered all the questions again. Then I was asked an additional question. By that time, I had had enough, this was going to be a marathon. No more, I decided to forget about them. Reviewed on: 27th February 2023

AVOID !! Worse company to deal with

Had a emergency in spain last year and admit to hospital paid nearly 2k for discharge dealing with admiral over 5 months keep asking different things after every 30 days after nearly 6 months they refuse to pay out useless insurer whats point having insurance with them AVOID these scammers Reviewed on: 21st February 2023

A simple claim unresolved

I experienced a theft in France November 2022. Despite forwarding police report and details of the loss (total value £480), Admiral just keep moving the goalposts. Reviewed on: 20th February 2023

take a lot of money in premiums but offer nothing in return

still on hold 30 mins and counting. the phone message immediately tells you to do everything online as they have very high wait times on the phone. well I cant so need to speak to someone so employ staff to answer the phones! Reviewed on: 20th February 2023

Unacceptable performance

I have been made to dance in never ending circles, with goal posts changing all the time. No matter what information you give they ask for more. I believe they make it so difficult you will give up I have now contacted the regulator to complain Reviewed on: 20th February 2023

No feedback on claim

Claimed for a lost passport in Oct 2022. Sent required documents to head office as the portal was not open to submit them. Sent a complaint form, received in return a computer generated letter, which told me nothing. DIsgraceful customer service! Reviewed on: 19th February 2023

Admiral a sing ship

Aufall customer service 3 month and counting for a £100 claim handed all documentation still no luck, avoid this company at all costs. Reviewed on: 9th February 2023

disgusting, Warning Avoid

I claimed on Holiday Insurance back in September 2022 as the GP stopped me from flying due to what he thought was an heart episode. He gave me a letter which i uploaded to the Portal, along with lots of other documentation that Admiral wanted. 30 days passed and then they asked for more documentation, 30 more days passed and they asked for more documentation etc etc, please be mindful that everytime you upload a document/s you have a 30 day wait time. they asked for duplication documents as i had already sent them, then even asked for copies of my refunds - THINGS I WAS NOT EVER CLAIMING FOR - it got ridiculous. eventually i got half the money i claimed for in February 2023. they then said i had not declared some medical records - Hyperlipidemia (which is Cholestral) which in fact i did, and Occular Hypertension which they found - I get tested for this as it is in the family - but i DO NOT have it or have i ever had it, why would you disclose something you have never had - BE CAREFUL - ensure you print out your medical record and even put a cold down there as they will find it. I informed them of everything they asked of me - they make you feel like a fraud. DO NOT USE! and if you try to get hold of them by telephone, well thats another story. Dont hold your breath.

Massively drawn out claim process, 3 months in and my claim has not been reviewed.

My child's travel cot was crushed and destroyed in transit in October as a result I put a claim into the admiral "Platinum Cover" travel insurance through their Web portal. On submission it states that my documents will be reviewed after 30 working days.. 44 days later they reviewed my documents and then asked for further spurious documents such as a hand written letter from my mum confirming that she bought the cot for my daughter. The claim now needs to sit a further 30 working days before they will review again... Suspect that they will then ask another question and I will be asked to wait another 30 working days. The strategy is clear and simple.. Extend the claim as long as possible until you give up. As a result we will now have to purchase another policy before we travel, I have no confidence that if we had an emergency we would be covered by admiral travel insurance. Please be warned.

Travel claim 6 months and counting

I had my phone stolen and also had to change flights due to me getting covid in july 2022 - in feb 2023 70 emails & sooo many phone calls later I still do not have a finalisation - total claim is about £200 - outrageous - I complained to their quality assurance dept. and got a"sorry" payment in November 2022 - now all the emails i have are being rejected - THIS COMPANY IS TERRIBLE AT CLAIMS DO NOT USE THEM Reviewed on: 1st February 2023
