If your vehicle is driveable, you may experience a prolonged booking in date in the region of 4-6 weeks. If you are looking for an update on your vehicle repairs, booking in date or a courtesy vehicle, please contact your repairer directly. Their details will be on the correspondence we sent you at the start of your claim or you can find them in the Claims section within MyAccount.

Depending on the type of claim you need to make, you may need to pay an excess. Unsure of your excess?

I bought direct from Admiral
£100 £75 £50

Excess is payable per person, per section of claim.

For example, if your excess is £75, you're claiming for cancellation of a trip for 2 travellers named on your policy and you paid £600 for your trip, you'll receive £450 once your excess has been deducted: £600 - £150 (£75 x 2) = £450.

Note, excess is not applicable for the following sections of cover: delayed baggage, delayed flights, personal accident, funeral expenses abroad or repatriation of remains, and Hijack (Hijack cover applies on Plantinum tier of cover only).

I bought through price comparison
£150 £99 £50

Excess is payable per person, per section of claim.

For example, if your excess is £75, you're claiming for cancellation of a trip for 2 travellers named on your policy and you paid £600 for your trip, you'll receive £450 once your excess has been deducted: £600 - £150 (£75 x 2) = £450.

Note, excess is not applicable for the following sections of cover: delayed baggage, delayed flights, personal accident, funeral expenses abroad or repatriation of remains, and Hijack (for Platinum over only).

What do I need to do in the case of a medical emergency or if I need to return home urgently?

If you have a medical emergency (hospital treatments, likely to incur medical expenses over £500) or need to cut short your trip, please call our 24 hours emergency assistance helpline.

How does depreciation affect the amount I receive for my personal belongings?

The amount we pay you depends on how long you've owned each item you're claiming for. We'll pay the full purchase price for anything less than a year old. For older items, the table below shows how much we'll take off your claim amount. Policy excess will apply.

Items over 12 months old are subject to wear and tear deductions.

Item Depreciation applicable Maximum amount of depreciation
Clothes 10% per year No limit
Designer bags, wallets, and purses 10% per year 50%
Non-designer bags, wallets, and purses 10% per year No limit

Cut-short or cancelled trips

Good to know

Usually the best way to claim for a refund, credit voucher or to reschedule a trip is to claim directly - from an airline, travel provider, or card company. We can help you, and provide support in claiming these costs back in full.

Have you contacted your airline, travel provider, or card company to request a refund or credit, or to reschedule your trip?

What to do next

Please note that your policy only provides cover for any losses or expenses that you cannot recover from elsewhere. Offers of rebooking a trip or credit vouchers are considered a recoverable loss.

Back

I want a refund from my trip provider

Under EU261 and Package Travel Regulations you are entitled to a full refund if the company you booked with cancelled your trip.

Contact the company (or companies - such as airlines or tour operators, if you booked through more than one) you booked with to obtain a refund for the unused parts of your booking. For example, your tour operator, travel agent, airline or accommodation provider.

In order to process your claim, we'll need to see confirmation of cancellation from the company you booked with which states what (if any) refunds are due to you. Please note, offers of rebooking a trip or credit vouchers are considered a recoverable loss.

More information is available here:

https://www.caa.co.uk/Our-work/Newsroom/COVID-19/

Unable to get a refund, credit, or reschedule your trip?

Please provide evidence of this to proceed with your claim with Admiral.

We also require confirmation of cancellation (stating if any refund is due) from the company you booked with. Also, any communication from your card company or PayPal confirming the refusal of an attempted claim.

Back

I want a refund from my card company / PayPal

Credit card provider: If you paid for a part of your trip that was cancelled using a credit card and you were not able to get a refund from the company you booked with, your card provider may refund you for this under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. This applies to bookings over £100 in value

Debit card provider: If you paid for a part of your trip that was cancelled with a debit card and you were not able to get a refund from the company you booked with, your card provider may be able to refund you for this under the chargeback scheme

Depending on the type of claim you need to make, you may need to pay an excess.

Unsure of your excess?

I bought direct from Admiral
£100 £75 £50

Excess is payable per person, per section of claim.

For example, if your excess is £75, you're claiming for cancellation of a trip for 2 travellers named on your policy and you paid £600 for your trip, you'll receive £450 once your excess has been deducted: £600 - £150 (£75 x 2) = £450.

Note, excess is not applicable for the following sections of cover: delayed baggage, delayed flights, personal accident, funeral expenses abroad or repatriation of remains, and Hijack (Hijack cover applies on Plantinum tier of cover only).

I bought through price comparison
£150 £99 £50

Excess is payable per person, per section of claim.

For example, if your excess is £75, you're claiming for cancellation of a trip for 2 travellers named on your policy and you paid £600 for your trip, you'll receive £450 once your excess has been deducted: £600 - £150 (£75 x 2) = £450.
