Elephant and Admiral - are they linked?

Called Admiral and they couldnt match a cheaper premium. after 10 mins the lady went to find me a loyalty discount, she came back and offered to knock off a fiver. still £150.00 dearer than a cheaper quote. she then asked "do you wish to renew?" I said no.

Anyway, i found the same cover £200 cheaper through elephant but after looking at their office address, its the same as Admiral!

Are they one and the same?

Looks like it when "about us" says .......

Hi, and welcome to the elephant.co.uk website!
elephant.co.uk was launched in August 2000 and we now have over 350,000 customers. We're part of the Admiral Group plc, and because we run elephant.co.uk over the web we have fewer costs - so you pay less for your car insurance!

Lots of insurers use different trading names with different business models, Budget seem to have dozens of them, all quoting slightly different prices.

Underneath the Admiral umbrella are Bell Direct, Elephant, Diamond and another one but I cant remember who they are.

I have been with all the 4 companies above and have found Bell Direct the cheapest.

Hia!

I used to work for Diamond,

You are right: Admiral, Bell, Diamond, Gladiator and Elephant are the same company. They are run from Swansea and Cardiff offices. Notice how their websites all look the same lol!

AIG I think is the name of the group?..... Not linked to the guys to sponsor Man U.

Hope this helps!
