Just bought car, insurance time

NorfolkCanary

Hello fellow MSE's,

have just got my 1st car and have got various insurance from so many companies, it's making the length of my dissertation look short lol.

Anyway, I'm here asking if anyone has had experience with either mymotor quote or Elephant insurance companies? (As these have come out cheapest, my motor quote cheaper by £16).
Any help will do, good/bad/whatever.

Also with regards to Elephant, has anyone used/got the 10 month bonus accelerator insurance? Are there any pitfulls I should be aware of?

Finally does the 2 fewer months to get the 1 year no claims, balance out the extra £56 that going with Elephant would cost? Or is it not worth it?

*edit* also does anyone know the fees for both companies of changing policy details/info?

Thanks in advance for your help,
Lyle

Elephant are part of the Admiral Group and seem to specialise in younger drivers.

I used the 10 month accelerator a loooong time ago. It's been accepted fine as NCB by my subsequent insurers, but some *may not* accept it as a full year.

You should be able to download a specimen policy document when you get a quote, this should contain the charges. Failing that, phone and ask them.
