juanchan Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 People on here mention A Plan, Lancaster and Elephant a lot. Elephant seem to do pretty competitive quotes, but I've heard people mention a few nightmare stories about them when it comes to claiming anything from them.

Pot Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 With my decorated license, I'm not planning on claiming, but Elephant sorted me the best deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 A cheap quote doesn't mean it's the best option for you. I got absolutely screwed by Elephant, after a they stated they wouldn't insure a car with a BOV (it's not on their 'list of options'). Long story... Now that insurance companies are offered pre-approved value schemes I wouldn't go with a company without one. It's a huge Peace Of Mind knowing that regardless of what happens the supe is insured to that value. On the other hand, if I had a basic NA auto I bought for £3.5k it'd be insured on a bare minimum plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damz Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 elephant and lancaster wont insure me until i am 21 which is quite anoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnionMan Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I had to wait until I turned 21 to get my car, after wanting one for absolute ages. Most companies wouldn't even quote me until I was over 21. In the end I went with Elephant to build up my NCD a bit more (I have 0 atm...) and then I plan to change to Sky or similar specialist insurance firms.

Damz Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 sadly is such a vague thing to search for its a bit difficult to find, most people dont talk about their insurance, mainly just their cars jsut did a quick search and found pretty much nothing for insuring a 19/20 year old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
