Just to give anyone under 25 a warning

I have just been with them for nearly a year for just under £1100 fully comp and they didn't give me a reweal.


Strange I thought and gave them a ring explaining to me they won't touch me till I'm 25. Asking why they said the underwriters at Elephant have changed hands and it's up to them.

Very annoyed as I'm 25 in dec and i'm having a hard time finding people who will touch me. Already had two places said no already. One company said they might touch me if I was female with 15% knocked off which raised an eyebrow.

Might have to get a de-poll and a sexchange from now on just to drive the coupe crazy

Adrian Flux. Oh, and if it isn't modded at all, tell them you have a mod, like a stainless system or air filter, believe it or not, it drops the quote considerably!

Thats really strange guys because i have been with elephant for 6 years and i have only just turned 25 back in march and had my coop for 2 years and never been charged over £800 for a year. When i renew it in september it will be £450 smile. If you live with 1 or 2 people try adding them to your poilicy, that bumps it down alot. smile

Same for me (even older). Fully comp, zero voluntary, £300 from Elephant year on year.

I'm not getting insured for another month or two as another family member is insured on it. Blue 20vt I presume you work for an insurance company?

That's weird, when I got a quote on a 56 reg 350z from Direct Line it worked out cheaper than a standard 20vt confused
