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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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. ...  Read the complete review

==== 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! ...  Read the complete review

... 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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Elephant.co.uk is the first, as far as I can tell, truly Internet only insurance company (run by the Admiral Group). This should be good for customers, as they will have fewer costs, so will be able to offer cheaper car insurance. Much like Internet banks can offer their customers a higher rate of interest. I haven't actually got my ...  Read the complete review

I have recently been looking for car insurance and decided to use the internet for my search because it is convenient, can be used 24 hours a day and I have free access. I found out about Elephant.co.uk through an advert in the current edition of Parkers guide, saying that they were the first true internet insurance company (or words to ...  Read the complete review

I have spent a while trying to buy my insurance over the internet over the last few months. This research has proved useful enough to give me a short list of company's that I consider using again. elephant.co.uk was one of them - they say that they are the 1st full internet based company (although i'm not sure that this is correct!!). ...  Read the complete review
