I talked Elephant into giving me a £40 discount when I renewed, just by telling them that I'd take my business elsewhere.

Try:
Greenlight insurance 0870 7535455 and
BrentAcre VW Insurance Specialists 01792 650933, got some good quotes off them even with Mods.

Don't forget to add a parent or two to your quote, it always brings down the price. Try adding one parent, check the price then add the other and see if it comes down.
Also tick the box that says you have access to another car, eg your parents car.
I always try these tricks when I'm trying a quote online.

I was with elephant last year, just renewed with Admiral for 597 pounds, fully comp on my VR6 with 2 years ncb.   Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ Elephant wanted nearly 800 for the renewal, when i told them that was just silly, the woman spoke to the pricing department and then offered me a 12 pound discount!  :laugh:  What is really stupid is that Elephant and Admiral are the same company!


A VR6 isn't a way of life, it's just a car.

they'd look good.. but if they get nicked the insurance will only provide you with what the car came with from the factory.. and being a driver that'll be steelies :undecided:
