My annual dance with Admiral
My annual dance with Admiral
Two years ago and we insure all three cars with Admiral, including a 19 yo German AuPair - quoted about £1100
Last year, auto renewal (with AuPair removed so only two drivers) and quoted £1200, but presented an identical quote in my wife's name at £830 which was honoured.
This week, auto renewal comes in at £1130 - no change in circumstances except a year older all round - and quote in my wife's name reveals a price of £711.
I haven't had the conversation with them yet but at least I was expecting a stupid number
Why do they do this when they have evidence that I will shop around? I can understand that some people just take what they are given but this is clearly not very clever on their behalf.

No 19yo on the policy now - just me and the wife.rc944 wrote:so your 3 car multicar including a 19 year old is likely sub 700 quid? what are you voluntary excesses approximately?
The day after getting the quote online, Admiral call us up, comment on the online quote and refer to the auto-renewal, saying that they assume we would like the lower price

My renewal with Admiral is £587 this year, that`s over £100 up on last years price ! (Again nothing changed ,just another years no claims)
I went on confused and Admiral never even came up !!
The best i got was with Elephant at £307 , which is owned by Admiral !!
should be interesting phone calls today

So, after further negotiations, the final renewal for all three cars is £650
Bit of a difference from the auto-renewal figure of £1180

£280drewjak wrote:Its just a big con how they can just knock 280 off just like that
How about £530 or 45% reduction
I agree with you - it's clearly designed to catch out those who can't or won't take the time to shop around.
