Does Admiral offer the best home insurance?

We've rated dozens of insurers on their policies and, where possible, customer service. Members can log in to read our full reviews.

If you're not already a member, join Which? and get full access to these results and all our reviews.

We analyse and rate 21 aspects of buildings cover, 40 areas of contents cover, and 25 features applicable to both (such as admin fees). We use this data to award each provider policy scores for its buildings and contents cover.

Initially, we score all of the product elements out of five, reflecting how competitive each policy is in this area compared with other insurance products. We also assess how important different policy elements are to consumers when choosing and using their home insurance, and factor this in when calculating our policy scores. More important features (such as alternative accommodation cover) will have more of an effect on the score than some other features (such as cover for the contents of your freezer).
