Customers are disappointed Admiral don't pay vets direct and by the size of the co-pay excess penalties, but are pleased with their customer service and quick payouts.

What a waste of time and money. Paid out for a year, put a claim in and never heard anything. Chased them up 2 months later, still couldn't give me a reason. Its been 5 months and I'm still waiting. Dont bother to insure your pet with these cowboys.
