Won't quote me over the net.


Don't know why they don't say at the start "Is your car an import?? Well **** off". Would save me going thro all the bollox of filling in my details.

They were completely useless for me as well I'm afraid - not so much on the premium (but it wasn't the cheapest by far), but I had to make a claim on my fully comp insurance when it wasn't even my fault and they not only took away my courtesy car, but failed to pay me for 4 months needless to say I had to take it a few steps further with them

I don't want to burst your admiral bubble but I had problems with them on my other halfs policy with mods. They charge an extra 10% for any mods you have but in the event of an accident they only replace mods with standard parts . Needless to say the policy is no longer with them.

FFS Don't get caught speeding if you're with ADMIRAL.
They upped my insurance by £940. After admitting a Fixed Penalty.3 points and £60.

Yep! That was an EXTRA £940!

Needless to say .....................

Got to say that they paid out on my total loss for the Sti. 10 days left on the policy and £23,000 paid within 2 weeks of the accident.

No probs here either.

In fact I have just added my other half (only 24) to my policy (MY03 STi TypeUK with non-standard exhaust) and they only want an extra £15 (Yep fifteen!) Other companies wouldn't even entertain having her on the policy.

Cool

From a happy admiral customer perspective, I thinks it's all about proven history with these guys. I've ben wiv 'em for about 6 years. WRX STiv3. two drivers. One fault crash, one no fault. no speeding (phew)..... cat 1 alarm immob etc etc.....

£680ish f/c protected ncb.

they have been utterly brilliant everytime i've needed them, and infact, when I was considering buying a car for business use(opting out of company car scheme) they duplicated my ncb.... and only wanted £900 for an audi S6avant (4.2 v8 bi-turbo - 340bhp) with two drivers and business use.

simply can't praise them enough.

Default Agreed ...

Just changed my Prelude VTi for a new WRX Wagon. When I checked with my previous company, they said "we're not touching that" - but Admiral quoted £450!! Not much more than I was paying for the group 17 Prelude. They've got my business

With all that money you saved, maybe you can pay me the money you owe me ? Or maybe send the goods that I paid for ?
