Admiral just slapped Adrian Flux?

[dutty]

So I've been with Adrian Flux for a year now on a multicar policy for two modified Golfs, been very happy with them and their customer service even with an inflated rate on the GTi as the Mrs has only been driving for two years.

 

However, just picked up a 350Z which is obvs a lot more beastly than the GTi and needed to carry my NCD onto this one. Adrian Flux came strong out the gate with a quote of 800+ and Admiral have pretty much halved that!

 

It beggars belief that AF don't have access to the same pool of underwriters, so are they trying to squeeze me too hard? Either way, Admiral have got my business this year. Maybe next year AF

Great result and welkom to the forum

Two things;

 

1) Admiral absolutely will increase the renewal for next year, no matter what. So remember your renewal date.

 

2) Is the Z modified at all? Admiral don’t replace modifications so it might not be a like for like comparison.

 

That said Admiral do tend to throw out low premiums for the 1st year on the 350z - they want to attract new business but are terrible at keeping existing customers happy.

I was with admiral for 9-10 years. Always the cheapest and yearly renewal didn’t always go up, always came down unless there was a claim. That was with 5 cars at one point on a multicar policy. They even honoured that over 2 addresses at one point. It was only after that period other companies were cheaper

I literally end up bouncing between AF and Admiral every year. as soon as one ends, the other company is cheaper

Hi.

I'm sorry we could't help on your new vehicle. Admiral are their own insurer so we wouldn't have any access to there insurance.

Please do feel free to try us again next year.

Regards,

Dan.

Bottom line is shop around at every renewal.

AXA gave me a renewal price of £576 this morning (15 years NCB) and after going to GoCompare I got it for £326 with Esure.

This. Admiral will only replace with stock parts so watch out if it modded

It always pays to shop around, every year, and play them off against eachother.
