This is why four million drivers will be paid £25 refund by motor insurance company by end of May

Motor insurer Admiral has said it will give back £110 million to all its car and van policyholder -, refunding £25 for each of the 4.4 million vehicles covered as lockdown is expected to see claims plunge.

The group said the refunds will be made by the end of May for all cars and vans covered as at April 20 to “reflect that there have been fewer cars on the road during the lockdown”.

It also committed £80 million towards lowering the cost of its cover, as well as for further initiatives to support NHS staff and local communities.

This includes waiving all motoring claim excess fees for NHS or emergency service workers, and guaranteeing cover for customers using their vehicle to transport people, deliver medical supplies and equipment, or items to people who are self-isolating.
