Overview of cover provided by Admiral car insurance
Launched in 1993, Admiral is a car insurance specialist that has since branched out to offer other insurance products, including home, van, travel, life and pet cover.
Admiral provides a wide range of car insurance products, including single car policies, multi-car policies, cover for classic cars, and "black box" insurance, known as LittleBox.
For single and multi-car policies, three levels of cover are available: third party only, third party fire and theft, and fully-comprehensive. Third party only covers damage done to other drivers and/or their vehicles, while third party fire and theft covers this, plus the cost of replacing or repairing your vehicle if it’s stolen or damaged in an act of arson.
The most benefits are available through a comprehensive policy, which offers personal injury cover, named driver no claims bonus, windscreen cover, personal belongings cover and European cover for up to 90 days. Most of these benefits can be added to third party and third party fire and theft policies for an added premium.
Motor legal protection is an optional extra for all policies.
Admiral car insurance also offers a no claims bonus accelerator option, which allows drivers to earn a year’s worth of no claims discount after just 10 months of driving.
Admiral multi car insurance policies offer a number of further benefits, such as replicated no claims discount (the amount of NCD from one car can be applied to subsequent cars) and general savings as further cars are added to the policy. A single policy date is applicable to all cars under multi-car cover, making it easy to keep track of renewals.
For classic car cover, Admiral will insure vehicles that are older than 20 years and under 70 years, up to the value of £50,000. Classic car customers can enjoy a number of further benefits, including 90 days’ European cover and additional discounts for subsequent vehicles (classic or otherwise).
Finally, Admiral car insurance for young drivers, known as LittleBox, is Admiral’s "black box" policy. It offers benefits such as free theft-tracking and no curfews, as well as the option to reduce insurance premiums by demonstrating safe driving, which is monitored by a black box recording device installed in drivers’ vehicles.
However, to qualify for this kind of policy, the car must be worth at least £750 and be manufactured after 2002, and customers will have to drive at least 1,900 miles annually.

Admiral multi car insurance
Admiral is really well known for its focus on multi-car insurance deals, providing cover for several cars on one policy for a discounted price.
Every car in a multi-car policy gets its own discount. Cars don't have to be registered at the same address to be included in the same policy and earn a discount. So if you have friends or family that live separately from you, you could add their vehicles to your policy and they will be able to earn their own multi-car discount.
If a person insured on your policy claims or has a claim made against them only they're affected. You and none of the other policyholders won't be affected in any way, including no-claims discount. Each car gets its own no-claims discount that cannot be transferred to or affected by another policyholder.
You can get multi-car discount on your policy before insuring more than one car by letting Admiral know you will eventually be adding additional cars to your policy when getting a quote. Admiral says that you will receive your multi-car discount immediately and any other car you add to your policy in the future will earn its own multi-car discount.
Admiral says that between the 1st of December 2016 and the 31st of May 2017, one in ten customers who provided best alternative price saved £355 on average.
