Anyone been getting significantly lower quotes from them compared to anywhere else?

I just paid £464 for my 328i

Closest after that was nearly £1000!

They were pretty expensive for me this year, near £500 IIRC. Went with Aviva. £350. Done.

They've always been, by far, the cheapest quote, and thats by confused.com and the rest.

Closely followed by Bell.

noone else comes close.

I just signed up with a multi car deal with them and I got my 200 done for £440 with my wife on it as well. She has only been driving for two years so not bad at all.

Is it true Elephant, Bell and Admiral are all within the same company?

Cause when I did a quote, they were all £10 apart and then shot up by at least £400.

Yep, Admiral, Elephant and Bell are the only companies that quoted less than £2k on the new car.

And they quoted a lot less in fact, £1380! Would of been less if my mother hadn't of had an accident (I have thought about charging her the extra, but since she brings it down £400 I wont).

Should be ok next year, the reason the specialists wouldn't touch me this year was lack of RWD experience :(

1077.41 for my current motor!

They probably take a hit on profits to gain market share. Then when the competition goes tits up, the price then increases. Boom, insta mega profits as there will be few places to go and they can dictate the prices.

About time someone does. Pisses me off they increased premiums because they too big hits over the past two winters. They still made profits ffs :mad:

I think all insurance companies are linked to those Manatees on south park - who ever you are, whatever your car, they just pull a random number lol.
 
  GW 200 Gone :( BG182
Flux quoted me 2300, elephant was 750, mega difference, although to be fair, the 200 is standard compared to my old 172 as flux prefer mods

were always cheapest for me when i had private insurance. My cousin just got her 1.2 16v clio covered with diamond for £750 ish, and the next best was double that

yup admiral are awesome. I've stuck with them for 6 years. Only problem being that some of their less 'english' call centers struggle with mods, one of them claiming that an induction kit was classed as a body kit?! only downside is that they wont cover me if i take my back seats out! I think they are quite cheap for mods too. 23 years old and exhaust, coilovers and filter put my policy up by about £75

according to my uncle who is a manager at admiral they are the only insurance company who are currently making a constant profit every year. i know that last year they had a target of x million new customers over 12 months and they acheived it in 6, theyre growing at such a rate theyre needing to look for bigger premises for call centres etc.

yes admiral is the same as bell, elephant, diamond evrything under EUI Ltd. including confused.com (thats why the admiral lot are always cheaper on confused)

its a bit of a vicious circle tbh, admiral are able to quote cheaper as theyre in profit, the rest arent able to keep up and are hiking prices up to stay in profit, admiral keep upping the prices yet theyre still cheaper than their rivals, making more proffit, more customers, other companies lose customers, hike prices etc. etc.

Call during working hours ;) 029 2060 1294

I had to call out of hours to insure my Seat Leon, due to a private reg it wasn't recognised. The bird on the other end was like hmm siir, there is no Leon under Fiat. :dead:

Never used Admiral myself but Elephant always seemed to quote the cheapest and they're the same mob underneath aren't they?
 
Admiral are always by far the cheapest for me also.

This year the 200 cost £800. Closest competitor (minus Elephant) was around £950.

Last year the 172 cost £1150. Closest competitor was around £1800.

Spot on. A friend of mine has basically the same driving experience, NCB and is the same age as me. We both got quotes for the same address on an EP3, and his came in at £900 and mine came in at £2500. I'm beginning to think they just don't like my name.
