Advantages: Cheap premiums, good for younger drivers, UK call centre Disadvantages: Awful customer care!
card and thought paying a deposit, giving bank details on the internet would be the end of it, sadly we were mistaken...If you want to pay monthly you need to telephone Admiral directly, taking off the ease of arranging your car insurance over the net. We decided still to proceed as the quote was competitive and husband rang up to arrange things.
After a 24 minute wait for an operator, he explained he had had an online quote, was happy with it, wanted to arrange a direct debit to pay monthly and please could you arrange that Mr Admiral? Well it seemed a simple enough request to ask, but no, we had to go through the quotation process again, which actually came out with a different quote (more expensive) than our internet quote, husband argued the toss that we'd had an online quote, we just wanted to arrnge monthly payments, the operator ...

Advantages: cheaper than some Disadvantages: more trouble than most
I've been with Admiral for about eight years now. They've always been cheap (ish) and their customer service has been acceptable if not the most praise-worthy. However, an incident occurred when renewing my policy this year that made me see them in a whole new light.
I had been running a Land Rover Defender with a separate insurer for a couple of years (one of the specialist 4x4 insurers) but decided to give Admiral a chance this year.

Im currently 19 F and i have been driving since i was 17 in October 2005 i passed my test in June 2006 and touch wood i have no claims to date i am currently driving a 1.4 auto vauxhall corsa 3dr - ad my insurance off admiral is >£800 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THATS FULLY COMP AS WELL. we have our 3 cars on a family policy i got quoted upto £1600 just for myself and this price just about covers all three cars. so admiral is basically 1/2 of some of the quotes i had just for me. i cant fault it yet. the other cars on the policy are a Range Rover Sport 06 plate & a civic 55 plate - both are cheaply priced and the policy looks like a good deal so getting a quote after searching around to try and get the price even lower would be a good idea. ...
