Review of the Admiral, Travel Insurance:

Don't go with the Cheapest

4
I too have an annual travel insurance policy with Admiral. I have been insured with them for 12 years and had 2 claims for cancellation ( close family death and personal illness).Once I provided the proofs claims were settled with no hassle. Insurance is not about cost.It is about how you are treated in the unlikely event of a claim.Do not go for the cheapest. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Excellent cover

Good travel insurance have my car and van with this company Reviewed on: 24th August 2023

Stolen item claim rejected

1
Had a claim rejected after having items stolen while on holiday. I provided reasoning which discredited both of the rejection reasons, but they refused to accept it. However, my friend’s claim through NatWest was approved and she had a much smoother process. I would recommend taking your business elsewhere than Admiral. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Do NOT use this appalling company

1
Had to abandon a week's break in May 23, due to partners I'll health. My claim has been reduced by the excess and then halved,, ignoring that I had made payment for our trip.. Now my partner has to make his own claim and will also be deducted his excess for the same trip. This seems a totally unreasonable way of being compensated in my opinion.

Great cover for little money

5
In 2022 I purchased an annual travel insurance for myself and husband. I had a major health scare so did some shopping around for best price, already being an admiral customer I was given a 20% discount from the quoted price, this price beat all others hands down. I renewed my policy again for this year as again I was offered a 25% discount for being an existing customer. Have to say they are the best. Reviewed on: 17th August 2023

Fabulous discounts once your a member

We had to claim for a stolen mobile phone while on holiday and luckily this is covered under personal belongings which was eventually dealt with to my full satisfaction Reviewed on: 17th August 2023

Stolen items, but policy wording smartly worded to reject payouts

1
Had items stolen when on holiday on the beach, they gave a reasoning of items being “unattended”, and their policy wording has the word defined as something completely different to what it actually means. Rejected my claim twice, changing the reasoning the second time round because I discredited the first reasoning. Then had a manager call me to explain the rejection and all she could do was apologise. Smart company to get out of paying claims, so be careful how you word yours otherwise be prepared to not receive a penny. Reviewed on: 15th August 2023

NEVER AGAIN

1
I would never deal with this company again. They use delay tactics to put you off..ask you to ring and then say you can't be put directly through to claims..the send another e mail asking you to ring..and round and round we go. The simplest of claims can't be dealt with as they don't want to oay out. Absolute garbage comoany Reviewed on: 14th August 2023
