Jeoff Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 HiI had an expensive quote from them this year too, so I went with Halifax. Elephant really annoy me with their customer service. Twice I got through to a call centre in Banglador. Now this is a problem cos I was greeted with a series of rehursed soundbites not answers. The cultural difference is too wide. moan, moan, moan.Jeoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingle Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Try some of the web accessible insurers for a quick idea of market rates for you and your car.http://www.autodirectinsuranceservices.co.uk/ and http://www.easycover.com/ include Norwich Union who are very good for young drivers on expensive cars and or bad driving records!Jingle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingle Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Yeah but you get about ten companies replying. Then you can repeat each year to always know market rate at time of renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBear Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 £1500 isnt too bad for someone of your age (i.e. under 25, with a group 19 car), what were you paying before ??I would think eSure wont touch you as your under 30, so Tesco and Bell Direct might be other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattwarner Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Deano, yep in my name! incidentally state your occupation as "professional" they seem to like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springy Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 matt,you must live in the stix... anywhere near london and sub-£1k is no chance.dean,when you get your quote, get them to take off all the unnecessaries... breakdown cover is often included (around £80) and get them to compare the quote with different excesses... i found out that if i reduced my excess by £250 then i would pay £230 extra premium... hence accept a higher excess and bank the difference.p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2DAV Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 its all so hit and miss with insurance - you have to phone round lots of places to get quotes as the cheapest this year may no longer be and the most expensive last year may be the cheapest!its amazing how much the premium can change for different parts of the country.Dean you should try and get your own insurance! If you've been driving under your mum's insurance for a few years and have made no claims then some companies will give you no claims discount - worth asking!

Nobby Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 ..can't get aquote generated from any of the on line chaps....might be something to do with the car being a 996 and my "little" incident writing off my new "s" earlier this year and the subsequent 46k payout being in my claims history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graemep Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Dean,Try Hyperformance Insurance, 020 8939 3949I used them when I was 21 (a while ago now) for a 1.9GTI 205, they were a third cheaper than anywhere else.Cant vouch for the service youd get if you need to claim though.
