Default Don't bother with Elephant.co.uk

Had a quote through Elephant.co.uk for a MY00turbo (standard) for £917. Had the registration of a different car I was looking at and decided to check the quote again, to see if it changed with the 'proper' registration. Put it in, lowered the value of the car to £10000, and the quote jumped 200 notes to £1117!

How the f*ck can they justify that?

At the end of the day you are still paying the same company the money

I am now with Admiral but was with Elephant for a year, and have my second car insured with them.

Other than their poor quality Indian call centre, the UK centres are good, their claims service is good and overall they are a good choice (as are Admiral) if you get the right deal. Not too steep for mods either.
