Having just renewed my car insurance with elephant as they were the cheapest by far, I thought i'd pass on a few tips which reduced my premium considerably.

Tick the box to say you use another car regularly

Even if you're single add a female second driver (friend of mine aged 27 i'm 29, adding her dropped my premium by £45!!!!!

Tick the box to say she uses another car regularly

Enter as low an anual milage as possible (without telling porkies)

Protected no claims only cost me an extra £4

£100 voluntary xs seemed to be the best balance

Give it a go

  • Holy sh*t! My current policy is up for renewel on the 27th, just phoned them and they want £477 (inc breakdown, legal cover £100 excess).

    Just gone onto elephant.co.uk and they've quotyed me £277!!!!! £200 saving which my present insurers have already said they can't beat.

    This cover includes:

    £100,00 legal cover
    Car stereo cover
    Free car when mines getting repaired
    £150 excess

    Thanks MSE, the biggest saving of my life on car insurance! I was paying £45 p/m for my insurance, now I've just paid cash thereby reducing my monthly outgoings by £45!!!

    Cheers

    What if i don't drive another car regularly tho? They might find out surely?

    Must say i was well impressed with elephant.co.uk and admiral. Adding my family as named drivers knocked £200 off my premium!
