Admiral
What a horrendous experience, after filling out the online multi-car policy it wouldn't give me a price and asked me to give them a call.
Ok fair enough, I though.
After being on hold for 5 minutes I got some abnoxious bloke who put me on hold again for another 10. Got very bored of that and hung up.
Called back, got a different person. 'Oh you need the reference number'. Damn it, just closed the program. 'Sorry, login and get it and call us back'
Sigh.
Attempt 3...'Sorry sir, we can't insure you because of the modifications'.
Jeezzzzz!!! Think I'll try someone useful tomorrow.

Just had my renewal in from Admiral Ollie, and at a whooping £940 quote they can go sing for it!!!!!! Not impressed at all especially as I have given them approx 5 years monies and no claims - at a very quick check (online and even Post Office) I note that companies will beat this with at least £200. They obviously don't want Subaru owners money or maybe just mine ....... got a couple of weeks until policy lapse and will certianly move on from Admiral.

I really don't know how they work it all out sometimes the quotes are comical.

Had the same thing with Admiral last year. My insurance went from £600 to over £1125...... the excuse they gave was because i had 3 points for speeding now. They weren't happy when i pointed out that i paid my fine to the Sheriff's court and not admiral and i could find over 15 quotes under £500. They very nicely offered a £75 discount for customer loyalty as i'd been with them for over 10 years (with over 9 years protected no claims as well). I already know this year they've bid over £800 when Kwik-Fit have quoted me £386!!!!!!

Currently own 2 cars. Subaru STi type U.K with dealership mods and a '53' plate U.K specced YRV Turbo 130 also modded. Currently have the YRV turbo with Admiral on Fully Comprehensive insurance, and declared the mods (Suspension, alloys, exhaust, air-filter) which they have accepted. One thing that they won't do is replace said mods without a premium price being paid, I ended up spending an extra £40 on just declaring the mods to keep legal, if said car is in an accident then the mods arn't covered for replacemement. Saying that been doing the old confused.com/gocompare.com look around for cheaper insurance and non of them come cheap as the quote from Admirial this time around (6 years no claims). A lot of them came back with quotes for over £1000 for a car that is now only worth @ most £3000 and is group 8 and me being 38 years old. Admirals new quote for this year comes in @ £360.
Oh asked them a year a so about multi-car and when I said I had a Subaru Impreza STi they went away and came back with 'Sorry sir we cannot cover you on that'.
