Wish you have the option of giving no stars. Absolute joke of a company and the people that work for them. Had a false claim made against me, took them a over a year to sort. They wouldn't update me on anything I was always calling them. The evidence I gave them prove it wasnt me they still didn't believe it And that's my own car insurance. After getting it sorted they still wont give the money back that they have taken off me which is over £1000.

Don’t ever use this company I have never known such a disgusting company had a non fault accident 18 months ago still not sorted they never contact you to update you the only thing they are quick to do is take the excess money and double your premiums for a year I suppose the longer they take to sort it out the more money they can take from you there are much better insurance companies

Invoved in an accident which was my fault. Insurancr wrote of the car. Conflicting information depending on who I spoke to. Toon ages for a settlement and once i got the offer recieved, I was getting 230 pound. Disgusting company

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER - without any accident, any claim whatsoever the premium increases by 70% - this is just a rip off!

My daughter was hit in the rear whilst at traffic lights other driver got out and apologised and swapped insurance details also with admiral so thought this was pretty straight forward so no police involvement, contacted them with the details and was well treated on the phone. Heard nothing for a couple of days so called them to be told the other driver had said my daughter had rolled back into him??? We have legal cover with them only to be told as they are representing the other party we have to use some other legal company even though we reported the accident not the other driver. We have now been told that as there were no witnesses it goes as a 50-50 blame. Ok now they are not responsible for a lying scumbag changing his version of events however they are to blame for poor ie nil communication sitting on the case file for weeks without looking into it fully and just a total lack of understanding, these people are thieves and I will be taking my custom elsewhere. Stay away from this company they are so nice and very friendly whilst you are looking at purchasing as soon as you are making a claim that’s when you will get nothing but problems guarantee’d

Awful. takes ages for phone to answer. You have to tap in policy number, date of birth, postcode - and then they still ask for all the details again. And again, and again - as they pass you around and noone knows what they are doing. after 20 mins I was back in a queue because the guy didnt understand what I wanted. Admiral - wake up - these are your procedures. It is not for your customers to understand. I wanted to renew my insurance. apparently that didn't require 'renewals' because I was joining another policy I have with you. So I had to queue for Customer Service - and then repeat all my information - and the guy still didnt get it. Awful awful awful

I would describe this company as thieves.... Basically they take your money and ensure that you get no service when you need it... Just to give some context, a delivery van reversed into our car, parked on the driveway... They refused to let us use a BMW garage (we have an M4 so the we wanted to make sure it would not lose value), Admiral would not claim on the delivery company even though we had footage etc. They wanted us to make a claim and affect out NCB + declare on next insurance subscription that we made a claim. So we had to sort everything out ourselves with the delivery insurance... So basically Admiral may as well not exist. A week later, we had another issue with our second car, and they refused to count it as not our fault (we got undertaken on a motorway...), they put a trike against the wrong driver and there was nothing we could do about how they counted it. I just won't ever get back with them, I hate them so much. We also had friends who had issues with them, really wish I had listened to them now...

DO NOT INSURE YOUR SELF WITH ADMIRAL. My vehicle was stolen over 3 months ago and I have a crime number from the police and CCTV to prove my vehicle was stolen in the early hours of the morning. I sent them all the details they required within the first 7 days of the incident. ADMIRAL HAVE STILL NOT PAID ME OUT. They do not seem to care about me as a customer and do not contact me to keep me up to date. I have repeatedly sent emails and called them but they make up different excuses all the time. I am unable to buy a new van for my business as they have not paid me yet so it is costing me a lot of money to hire a van temporarily. I'm sure they would have resolved this issue if I was covered for a courtesy vehicle from them if my vehicle was stolen but I wasn't covered for this. DO NOT INSURE YOUR SELF WITH ADMIRAL. I would rather pay extra and get insured by someone who cares for there customers.

Always been good to me but seemed very upset when I asked to cancel policy, they just could not compete with cost. Even allowed them to quote for home insurance which was still more expensive even with multi discount with what am currently paying.

My car was stolen on 20th of October 2018... Yes thats correct 2018 a year ago! I was treated like a criminal trying to say I made it out like it was stolen. When I was attacked at the car keys taken and the car later found crashed, police took forever as well to get the DNA results. Finally proved I was not the driver they closed the case June 2019. Admiral still refuse to pay out until they get a full report. Someone please explain to me how it takes 4 months to get something sent across? In all that time I have been paying £490 a month for the car. I'am paying for a car I have not had nearly for 13 months. Its really made my life stressful and affected my health. My new car I made sure I stayed well away from Admiral and I also got my parents to change over as well.

Had the worst experience ever with Admiral Insurance. After we were involved in a crash, their "investigator" failed to get CCTV footage that showed the other driver was liable. They then said that their investigation was based on photos both drivers supplied and Google Maps. Admiral then rolled over and said that I was fully liable, rather than sharing equal responsibility because they had failed to obtain the CCTV footage. Not to be trusted.
