All the Good puns have been taken already. Curses.

Advantages: Cheap, fast, easy
Disadvantages: Realistically, none.

...personal websites, I stumbled onto Elephant.co.uk , utterly depressed about the incredibly high cost of driving.

I began entering my car's details for the five billionth time waiting to be told they would require both my legs, my right arm and a down payment of £1000 for my pile of rust on wheels. And then something strange happened. IT WAS CHEAP!!! Bloody cheap in fact! Elephant managed to quote me a whole £200 less than the next ...
...Elephant have continued to make me happy and though I have worked my way through three cars with varying degrees of rust and other novel problems such as indicators that don't work when it rains, I have had a total of Zero problems with them

To this date, I'm very impressed with them. I had to call up today about my renewal, thinking I would be leaving Elephant as I'd found an insurer that worked out cheaper (mainly due to the fact ... more

Take An Elephant Ride - It Saved Me £800!

Advantages: Easy online quote process, good customer service, comprehensive cover
Disadvantages: Sometimes can't get a quote online which means having to make a phone call.

...I would highly recommend trying Elephant.co.uk for a quote next time your renewal is due - you might not be as fortunate as me in saving so much money, but it's worth a try! For me, the fact they are just one of two insurance companies prepared to quote for the vehicle I drive that also goes in their favour - at least they're willing to offer a quote rather than shying away like other companies did. Incidentally, you can also get quotes for home ...

Pack your trunk and all aboard the elephant

Advantages: Are the cheapest we could find.
Disadvantages: I'll let you know when I find one!!

...details in, I clicked onto elephant.co.uk to see if they could quote us cheaper. The site was great, really easy to navigate and they hold your quote for you so that when you want to log on again, your quote will automatically appear. The site itself has a lot of questions for you to answer but at the end of the day at least they make it harder for people to fob them off with a fraudulent claim. After all you have to type in all your details and ...
...they know when something isn't right. They have the pictures of the elephant of course which is their logo and in the site there is an area all about the elephant charity and how you can make a donation to help preserve these animals. You are warned that, if in the event of a claim you have not been honest in your details, then the insurance is invalid and the claim lost. They give you a rough idea in the left hand column, even before the quote ...

Cheesy advert, but very good service.

Advantages: Quick, easy and above all cheap!
Disadvantages: Some people may not feel comfortable using an internet insurer

...website..... The site for elephant.co.uk is bright yellow, but not blindingly bright, so it's nice to look at. There aren't loads of symbols for your computer to download, just simple HTML text and a picture of Trunkie the elephant. What is Elephant.co.uk all about....? Elephant is very simply an internet insurer. They don't do loans or try to push other products like many insurer's do. You may have noticed that a lot of big insurer's, such as ...
...decided that the quote from elephant.co.uk that I got two years ago was the best one, I called the helpline and paid for it that way. The person I spoke to was very helpful, checked the basic information I had inputted to ensure it was all correct, and took the payment, gave me a reference number and assured me that my documents would arrive within 7 working days, which they did a lot quicker than that. The second time I spoke to elephant staff was ...

Not bad but not great

Advantages: Competitive prices, offers different 'modules'/cover options
Disadvantages: Can take a while to work through a claim if my experience is anything to go by!

Okay I have to admit that I don't know a great deal about the company and I only have limited experience with them but I thought it may still be worth me explaining my experiences with them, having used them for my car insurance for the last year. To start with, I (finally! don't even ask lol) passed the driving test almost a year to this day, back on October 18th 2006. Now I was previously insured as a named driver on my dads insurance policy and ...
...Line. Once I passed the test, I knew that I wanted to get my own car and obviously I'd need to be insured, so my dad phoned up to get the details for me changed and asked for a quote to see how much they'd charge to insure me for a year. However we weren't much impressed when they quoted over £700! now I know I was a newly qualified driver but I was over 21 and my dad wasn't much impressed either so he decided he'd have a quick look online (what ...

Quick TIp.... Kwik Fit!!!

Advantages: Quick, Easy, Cheap, Call centred you can understand! Discount!
Disadvantages: None!

Kwik Fit Insurance???? They actually do insurance??? YES!!! I was previously with elephant.co.uk (check out my review of them) and decided to do a little bit of a shop around to find a deal and a deal I did find. After going on an insurance comparison site (moneysupermarket.com and confused.com) Kwik Fit came up as one of the cheapest insurance providers.... so I was quite surprised to find out they actually do insurance let alone a good price. I followed the link to the website and did a quote, and this was basically my deal... Fully comp, accident insurance, windscreen replacement, and PAYING MONTHLY INSTALLMENTS by direct debit (a big bonus) i was quoted £80 per month (im 21 in a high risk area with 1 years no claims so i dont expect a cheap deal!) but this was great compared to elephant.co.uk who after being with them ...

Review of esure.com

A suprising quote

Advantages: Excellent quotes
Disadvantages: Long queues for telephone queries

Being 22 and having 4 points on my licence, my insurance was always going to be high. Over the past 5 years i've driven numerous cars including a 2.0l ford probe, a metro and peugeot 306. Predictably, my insurance quotes were always nearing the £1000 mark. When I purchased my Ford Probe, I was pleasantly suprised to discover Elephant.co.uk. The website was easy to use and the quotes were quite a bit lower than what I was used to. I was insured with them for just under a year, when I bought a W-reg Citroen Xsara. I decided to do a bit more shopping for insurance and a friend suggested I try Direct Line. Being a large insurance company, I expected the usual extortionate premium and deposit. I also tried Admiral, AXA, and A-Quote, but it was direct line (online) that offered me the best quote by far. It was at least £100 cheaper than ...
