The short answer

Admiral Business customers report a claim by completing the claim form for their specific type of cover and emailing it with supporting evidence to Admiral Business's claims address, or by calling the general enquiries number. This is a business insurance brand and its claims process is separate from Admiral's personal motor claims lines.

VIP Claims — independent

Was the accident not your fault?

If another driver was at fault, you may have options beyond claiming on your own Admiral Business policy. VIP Claims Ltd is an independent accident management company and can check, free of charge, whether we're able to manage the claim for you. Eligibility depends on the circumstances of the accident, and nothing is guaranteed.

This is a VIP Claims contact number, not an Admiral Business number. VIP Claims Ltd is not affiliated with or endorsed by Admiral Business.

Costs

Excess and your no-claims discount

Not published on the pages reviewed; check your policy wording for excess terms, which vary by product.

Your policy schedule sets your compulsory and voluntary excess — check it before assuming an amount. See also our guide to non-fault claims.

Staying mobile

Courtesy car or replacement vehicle

Not applicable - Admiral Business covers business risks such as liability, tools and equipment rather than motor vehicles.

Policy courtesy car

Provided under your own cover, usually only while the car is with an approved repairer, and typically a small standard model.

Non-fault replacement

Where another driver is at fault and you are eligible, a like-for-like vehicle may be arranged as part of the claim against them.

Credit hire

A hire vehicle supplied on credit, with the cost pursued from the at-fault insurer. Subject to eligibility and your obligations if the claim fails.

None of these is automatic. Read more in our replacement vehicle guide.

Repairs

Approved repairers and your choice of garage

Not applicable in the same way as motor claims; Tools & Materials claims can include replacement of stolen or damaged tools, materials and one business laptop or tablet per insured event.

Your options

If the accident wasn't your fault

After a non-fault accident you generally have three routes. Which suits you depends on your cover, your excess, and how quickly you need a vehicle.

Claim through Admiral Business

  • Simplest single point of contact.
  • Your excess is usually payable first and recovered later if liability is admitted.
  • The claim is recorded against your policy, which can affect renewal even when you are not at fault.

Claim against the at-fault insurer

  • No excess payable to your own insurer.
  • You deal directly with the other side, which can be slower if liability is disputed.
  • You are responsible for evidencing your losses.

Use an independent accident manager

  • VIP Claims can handle repairs, recovery and the claim where you are eligible.
  • Services are subject to eligibility and the circumstances of the accident.
  • Not guaranteed, and not a substitute for your policy obligations.

Whichever route you choose, most motor policies require you to notify your own insurer of the accident, even if you do not make a claim on your own policy. Check the notification condition in your policy wording.
