Praise: Admiral Car Insurance - "Amy"

Options
Hi

A big thank you to "Amy" working at Admiral Car Insurance customer services.

It was just a quick question about using my car abroad. No messing around, she explained what I needed to know, checked I was all ready and wished me a lovely holiday (and I think it was a lovely Welsh accent I heard too!).

I rang the customer feedback line but they weren't sure if they could trace it because nothing needed doing to my policy but said they try to pass that on. I hope they do!

People like this are like gold dust in call centres. It's refreshing for someone to be a) friendly b) to know what they're talking about!
Please note: I am NOT Martin Lewis, just somebody else called Martyn that likes money saving!

    I use Admiral and anytime i have had to speak with them they've been brilliant and so quick and helpful. Also my renewal was cheaper this year than on any comparison website - bargain! :D

    Probably was a lovely Welsh accent - Admiral have a call centre in Cardiff. Nice to hear praise for call centre staff for a change!
  • Thanks guys! I found the best quote for my DD's car insurance and just wanted to check Admiral were OK. Sounds like they are.
  • Yes it was a welsh accent as admirals call centre is in cardiff (sorry noticed someone else jsut said that but i typed this out first)

    We have been with Admiral for a coupe of years and I also have always found them very friendly and helpful. But i am now renewing 2 cars on a multicar and the premiums have risen quite a bit. Just checked online and Like for Like I am getting cheaper Admiral quotes with an online comaprison site, much cheaper than my renewal quotes I was expecting my daughters to come down as she has now been driving for a year so has earned a year's no claims; but no, this has increased. Even with the multi car discount they are more expensive. Shal be giving them a ring and shopping around.

    ...and praise too for their claims dept. Sorted out full settlement on a vehicle within 1 week of the accident, and loss of earnings (without loads of paperwork proof!) (4 working days), and had a cheque on the way, also made an offer for whiplash, my client deferred it until he had his 2nd appointment with the doctor.

    (as a broker I did get involved for my client and cleared the path for a speedy result with the best possible outcome ;))

    David Morgan was the helpful chap in Admiral claims.

    It took my clients insurer - Aviva - 4 days to issue a claim reference, as it was also reported to them For Info Only.

    This sounds promising.

    I have to ring them tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get the Welsh bird (the accent does something for me ;)). Thinking about it, she may be the one who sold me the policy in the first place.

    Seriously though, it's nice that others have had a good experience, as I'm stuck with them for the next year.
  • I bought my DD's insurance today from Admiral. All contact has been helpful and cheerful. A pleasure to deal with. And they were the cheapest quote; go via confused.com, which someone here said they own.
