Admiral Travel insurance reviews (200)

Awful company

Tried to make a claim on short-notice cancellation of a trip to the US after my Mother in Law had a stroke 3 days before we were due to travel. We finally get a claim rejection after 10 months of back and forth due to the fact that because the person that fell ill had a previous attack back in 2019. This is classed as a pre-existing condition and we aren't covered, even though the person who was ill wasn't travelling with us. Just need to advise people that if you have to cancel a trip due to a family health emergency then your policy isn't worth the paper it is written on. This is compounded by the fact that it has taken 10 months to get an answer. I'd hate to think what would happen to someone who had an emergency whilst actually travelling abroad who was foolish enough to buy insurance from Admiral! Reviewed on: 3rd March 2023

Impossible to contact

My partner slipped whilst on holiday on the 4th November 2022 and broke her wrist. Immediate hospital treatment was required. On our return I made a claim on my multi trip policy with Admiral. I filled in an online questionnaire and submitted copies of receipts for the charges incurred for treatment, medication, travel and appointments. I received a notification informing me the questionnaire was 100% completed and I would receive a response with in 30 working days, which I did not. I eventually received a reply in early January asking me to review my claim. I logged on to my claim portal and the questionnaire was noted as only 25% complete and the documents I submitted was missing. I filled in the information for a second time and received the same response ( contact will be made in 30 working days). I have tried numerous times via email, online chats, and customer care email (No contact telephone number available) ect. I was totally ignored. I eventually threatened to contact ombudsman to make a complaint and received a reply with in 24 hrs apologising and requesting me to resubmit my claim. It has now been 4 months and I am no further forward than the I first day I submitted my claim. I am currently looking for travel insurance elsewhere as my family are going on holiday in June and if the worst was to happen I can not reply on Admiral to be contactable or to settle a claim if it was required. I have been ignored multiple times. contact is virtually impossible. If it was not for the fact the Admiral was very well advertised cross many media platforms I can honestly say that I feel I had been conned or scammed into taking out this policy by a fraudulent business. I am luck that the claim was for a broken wrist and not some life threatening injury. Reviewed on: 2nd March 2023

Auto renewal

Not aware I had signed up to auto renewal. I do not want to renew. Webchat not available at weekends or outside 'office hour'. Phone contact warns up to an hours wait. Only available during 'office hours'. Phoneline goes dead after 15 mins or so three times and writing this as I wait. No email address. If this is the level of customer care i.e. not worth putting extra staff in a call centre... Reviewed on: 27th February 2023

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

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
