  • I have found Elephant to be the best insurer for young drivers. I have been with them for the last four years and other companies don't even come close to their quotes. For example last year the cheapest quote I could obtain was £2200 but Elephant insured me for £998.

    Useless piece of information No. 1

    Did you know why AXA use the phone number
    0800 28 28 20 ?

    This is serious, by the way.

    AXA took over Guardian Insurance a few years back, whose logo was an owl.

    Now keep saying the last six digits of the above phone number!

    Two Eight , Two Eight, Two Ohhhh

    Now you get it!!

    If someone on this thread fancies just collating the different places recommended and reposting it. I will add it to the first thread to make it easier for people.
