My personal advice to anyone would be DO NOT BUY INSURANCE FROM ELEPHANT.CO.UK. A drunken man travelling just short of the speed of sound crashed into my car at 2am one Sunday morning around 10 weeks ago, the police attended and the man was taken away in an ambulance. He will be charged with drink driving, no insurance and dangerous driving. I ...

My parked, empty car was reversed into in front of me and several witnesses. I have main and legal cover with Elephant. Fourteen months later I am still waiting for any tangible action from Elephant to get admission of liability and recover my excess and expenses - all they do is wait for the third party, who clearly have no motive to do ...

Just had a run in with elephant. For all out there who have had good experiences there are always those that a company just can’t be bothered with. I had a head on collision with another motorist, to anyone viewing both cars they appear to have been both written off. This was the view of elephant originally; this was before they lost my car. I had ...

Went to Elephant after a poor experience with Endsleigh (another review). Got a very good quote for a 10 month policy so I went with it. I was impressed with the fact they were able to find my car on their system, it's an 04 model preregistered in 03 which can cause some probs. So far so good, no claims to make and any small changes ...

I've read some reviews about Elephant and wanted to share my experience with them. I'm 30ish and like driving fast powerful cars and have found Elephant to be good on Insurance. To date I have insured Subaru Impreza WRX, TVR Chimaera, MX5, Prelude VTEC, Porsche Boxster and more recently SLK55AMG. I usually scour the net to get competitive quotes ...

I want to warn people about Elephant.co.uk, because you will get SCREWED when you have to make a Claim!. I have 11 years worth of NCB, I was unlucky, when a driver hit the back of my car and then "failed to stop". As the driver could not be traced, I had to claim on my own insurance. My Policy Excess was £300 ...

Being young and driving a fast sporty car always poses a problem when it comes to insurance. I've come to expect the high prices, but this year, following the purchase of a car imported from Japan, I've faced the most hassle ever getting hold of car insurance... That was, until I came across Elephant.co.uk. When I first purchased the ...

Elephant have decided that my car is not economical to repair. I have doubts about that, but that's just one issue. This is a case of "I should have read the small print", but who does, so this is a warning to you. If your car is "written off", ELEPHANT CANCEL YOUR INSURANCE POLICY. They also demand the full amount ...

I joined elephant.co.uk 3 years ago. The tariff was very reasonable, although it's true that you do need to watch out what extras you're adding on because the cost can escalate if you decide on including all the nice-to-have's. However, the issue of a few quid doesn't really interest me. What I want above all is good, ...

I used Elephant for one year (2002-3) and also made a claim with them. I found that their quote was very competitive and more importantly they handled the claim well. So how do they compare to all the other insurance companies? Usually every year at renewal time I get several quotes as almost always it results in getting a reduction in ...

OK, until you make a claim - Advantages: Cheap, Online - Disadvantages: Poor repair, Don't Care

What a pleasant suprise I got from logging onto Elephant.co.uk! My car insurance quote came through from my previous insurers and had gone up massively - this was cause by my boyfriend, who is also insured on the car, having got a 3 point speeding fine last year. I made numerous phone calls trying to get a better quote and was getting ...

Every year, as a matter of course, I spend some considerable time checking out the best prices for my motor insurance. For the last eight years I have been with London & Edinburgh because they offered a policy specifically for my profession that was hard to beat, and that included a guaranteed no claims bonus. This year, they were taken ...

I've recently bought myself a very nice, very expensive new car. And as such I needed to hunt round to get an insurance quote which would mean I still had enough money at the end of the day to actually drive the thing! I rang round a lot of insurance companies. A lot. Think of any ad you can off the tele and I got a quote from them. ...

==== Update ==== I've been with Elephant for coming up to a year now. During that time, I have been lucky enough (touch wood) to have not needed to make a claim against my insurance so unfortunately I can't tell you how good/bad they are at paying out. What I can tell you is that, a year on, they still offer remarkable value! ...

... you're sure of a big surprise. Wait a minute, that's for teddy bears isn't it? Well this has nothing to do with teddy bears. Elephant.co.uk. Novel name, easy to remember. Being only 24, and only just acquired dad's car (see op before), I was on the hunt for some moderately cheap insurance. Well, as cheap as I ...

Having been something of an early adopter of the online insurance market I was delighted to hear Elephant’s blurb. Having been insured with Ironsure.com some time ago I was left high and dry (and with a hefty premium elsewhere) when they ceased their Internet business – which given the paltry amount I had to cough up for cover did not ...

Around this time of year I get a sick feeling at the bottom of my stomach (no, it’s not from that dodgy curry I had the evening before!) It’s time for me to get car insurance renewal forms through the post. Like a great deal of people I often intend to shop around for comparison prices, but I just never seem to find the time ...

I have recently obtained insurance for my supposedly high risk car - an Elise Sport 160 which lies in insurance group 20 (the highest unfortunately). Some of the quotes received made me regret buying a car which I otherwise love. Elephant is a company within the Admiral (Insurance) group. Perhaps surprisingly, Admiral and Bell Direct ...
