Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between the different levels of cover?

We offer three levels of cover - Admiral Home, Admiral Gold and Admiral Platinum - as you'd expect, the Gold cover offers slightly more than the Home, while Platinum covers more than the Gold.

All three levels offer unlimited buildings cover (subject to eligibility) and access to a 24 hour emergency helpline.

For more information on what's included with each level of cover just visit our main Home Insurance webpage.

What high risk items do I need to let you know about?

Our definition of high risk items can be found in your policy booklet so please check that carefully, but it includes things such as jewellery, watches, precious metals, works of art, sporting equipment, collectables, furs and musical instruments.

If you have any high risk items over £1,000 you will need to let us know about each of these items individually so we can add them to your policy. You can then choose to cover each item away from the home.

If you are an online customer you can view this document by signing in or registering to your account.

If you receive your documents in the post then this document would have been sent when taking out, changing or renewing your policy.

Do I get personal possessions cover as standard?

You get personal possessions cover up to £2,000 as standard with Admiral Platinum cover but you can choose a higher amount than that if needed. You can add personal possessions cover to our Admiral Home and Admiral Gold.

It covers items which belong to you or your family, which are portable and normally worn, used or carried outside the home in everyday life such as handbags, headphones, tablets and also includes sports, musical and camping equipment. Your items will be covered up to the amount you require, subject to maximum limits.

If you have any pedal cycles that are worth under £350 and would like them covered while away from the home, be sure to include them in your personal possessions total.

If you have specified any high risk items over £1,000, they will be covered separately up to the amount you require per item. Our definition of high risk items can be found in your policy booklet.

What if my circumstances change?

If your circumstances change, please let us know straightaway. Changes we don't know about could invalidate your insurance. If you're not sure whether you need to tell us about a change. Please contact us here.

How do I send in proof of purchase or a valuation for an item?

In some cases, a proof of valuation or purchase receipt - dated within the last 3 years - is required within 30 days of the start of your policy. Photocopies or good-quality photographs are acceptable as long as they can be clearly read. They can be sent to us in a number of ways. Please ensure that your policy number is noted on any document you send: 

  • Post - FREEPOST EUI LTD
  • Email - customerservices@admiral.com

How do I make a claim?

Our Make a claim page will show you the right number to call for your Admiral policy. Or you can call our Claims Department and we'll send you a Claim Report Form. We're open Mon - Fri 8am - 9pm, Sat 9am - 5pm, Sun 10am - 4pm.

What is an Excess and how do I know what excess I have on my policy?

An excess is the amount you must pay in the event of any claim. Just check your policy schedule for details of the excess that applies for the incident you are claiming for. More than one excess may apply and total excess may vary depending on the cause of the loss or damage. Your excess will either be deducted from settlement of your claim, or alternatively, our appointed supplier will collect this amount from you.

How will I know if a claim is covered by my policy?

You can find details of your policy cover in your Policy Booklet along with your Home Policy Schedule. You may find this helpful before ringing us to report a claim. However, if you would prefer to call us, one of our dedicated Claim Handlers will be happy to help and advise you further on your policy cover.

How long will it take to sort out my claim?

We are unable to give you an exact time scale, as every claim is different. All we can do is make sure the claims experience is as stress free and quick as possible. When you initially report the incident to us our claims staff will try to give you a better idea of the time scales involved.

Do I need to keep damaged goods for my claim?

Yes, please keep any damaged items in a safe place. They may need to be inspected or used as evidence of proof of ownership - this may help us settle your claim faster.

Will pedal cycles be covered under my policy?

Pedal cycles worth under £350 are covered while they are in the home if you have taken contents cover with us. If you have any pedal cycles that are worth under £350 and would like them covered while away from the home, make sure you include them in your personal possessions total.

If you have a pedal cycle worth more than £350 you will need to let us know so we can add this to your policy. You must then opt to have this cycle covered away from home if required.

Are mobile phones covered under my policy?

Mobile phones are covered up to the amount shown on your policy schedule. We will cover the handset but not mobile phone charges, loss of airtime or any damage caused by liquids.

What are the new insurance pricing changes?

These are important changes from the industry regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which will affect companies from January 2022.

The new rules mean that the renewal premium firms offer existing customers will be no higher than the equivalent price that they would offer to a new customer.

The changes have been introduced to help ensure that existing customers who renew their insurance policies are treated the same as new customers.

They’ll affect all motor insurance and home insurance policies as well optional extras, like legal expenses, and will apply to both new customers applying for cover and existing customers considering renewing their insurance.

These changes will apply to all home and motor renewal premiums generated on or after 1st January 2022.

What do the new insurance pricing changes mean for me?

At the time of your home insurance renewal, we’ll ensure we offer you a price which will be no higher than the price we would offer a new Admiral customer buying the policy through the same sales channel, using the same details.

For example, if you bought your policy over the phone then your renewal price will be charged the same or cheaper than if you were a new customer buying over the phone.

Will the new insurance pricing changes mean my home insurance renewal price will be lower than last year?

Not necessarily. Insurance prices can go up or down for a variety of reasons. Factors such as if you have made a claim in the last year, if your risk has changed (e.g. if you have moved house), or external factors such as severe weather can all impact the price of your insurance at renewal.

For more information on how your price is calculated, please click here.

What should I do if I find a cheaper renewal price elsewhere?

Our aim is to always offer you an accurate renewal price. However, if you have received a cheaper price from another firm, please contact our renewals team. Whilst we do not price match, we can look over your renewal offer and check to see if your details have changed from the previous year or if there is anything we can do to provide a more competitive quote.

Do I need to tell you if I’m planning to let refugees stay with me?

No, you don’t need to tell us if refugees will be living with you temporarily at your main residence as they would be considered as visitors. But you should contact us if they are still living with you at your next renewal.

If you’re thinking of providing a home for refugees in a second property that you own – such as a holiday home or rental accommodation – you will need to contact us to discuss this further.

Please call us on 0333 220 2090 if you have Admiral Home Insurance, or 0333 234 9965 if you have Admiral Landlord Insurance.

Will my policy cover be affected by refugees staying in my home?

Your cover will continue as normal, as will your policy’s standard exclusions. Refugees will be regarded as a member of your household and therefore exclusions relating to visitors will not apply. You can check your policy details in My Account.

Does my policy provide any cover for refugees’ belongings?

If you have a contents insurance policy, or buildings and contents insurance policy your  refugees belongings will be covered in the same way as a member of your household living with you. 

You can check your policy details in My Account.

Am I covered for liability while hosting refugees?

Cover for liability (as the owner or an occupier of your home) is included on all polices up to £1 million on the Admiral tier and up to £2 million on the Gold and Platinum tiers.

You can check your policy details in My Account.

Do I need to tell you if I’m planning to provide a home for refugees in a second property that I own?

Yes, you will need to contact us if you are providing accommodation for refugees in a holiday home or rental accommodation which is not classed as your main residence.

Please call us on 0333 220 2090 if you have Admiral Home Insurance, or 0333 234 9965 if you have Admiral Landlord Insurance.

Bereavement

Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be very difficult. As well as the emotional upheaval of coping with a death, you may have financial matters to take care of.

If you’ve just lost a loved one who had, or was named on, an Admiral insurance policy, you can let us know by filling out our online form. Alternatively, you can find the different ways to contact us above.

Authorised callers

In certain situations, such as if you’re not a fluent English speaker, you may need to set up an authorised caller who can deal with your insurance policy for you.

You can choose what access this person has and what they can do on your behalf, and you can cancel it at any time. You must not pay the person for this service and it’ll still be your responsibility to make sure all policy details are up to date and accurate. All policy documents will still be sent to the policy administrator.

Please call us on to set up an authorised caller. An authorised caller can only be added by a current policyholder or policy administrator.

Power of attorney

A power of attorney is a legal document that lets a person (the ‘donor’) appoint one or more others (known as ‘attorneys’) to help them make decisions or to make them on their behalf. You may choose to do this if your health or circumstances change.

When we receive the power of attorney document, we’ll contact the attorney to let them know we’ve received it and the policy has been updated. We’ll also write to the policyholder confirming the attorney can deal with the policy on their behalf.

Please send power of attorney documents with your policy number to Admiral Group, David St, Cardiff CF10 2EH.

Citizens Advice or a solicitor can help set up the power of attorney and make sure you have the documents we need. If you have any further queries about adding a power of attorney to your policy please call us on .

Health

Health issues can affect us at any stage of our lives. If you feel you need additional support with your insurance policy due to a health concern, please call us on to see how we can help.

Money worries

Many people face financial worries at some point in their lives. Getting help and advice as soon as possible can help make sure the problem doesn't get any worse.

We're committed to treating our customers fairly when they're struggling, and we'll do our best to help you if you think you might be having financial problems.

For example, if you know your direct debit payment won’t clear, we may be able to change the payment date to suit you better.
