Elephant is one of the leading online UK car insurance companies aiming to offer cheaper car insurance (also known as 'Elephant motor insurance') due to its lower overhead costs. It is part of the Admiral group and was launched in August 2000 and now has more than 350,000 customers. It hopes to offer cheaper car insurance quotes, particularly for those in traditionally high-costs areas.

According to a survey conducted from July 2007-December 2007, more than 15 per cent of people who received a quote and offered a best alternative price saved in excess of £140 by moving to Elephant car insurance. Discounts are an important part of the Elephant car insurance package as the company also offers a loyalty discount if you insure a second car with them.

Among the other benefits available is a free courtesy car when you use one of Elephant's approved repairers and windscreen etching. Elephant also offers additional breakdown cover, van insurance and motorbike insurance and each have flexible payment options.
