Review of the Elephant Insurance, Car Insurance:

DO NOT USE ELEPHANT INSURANCE!!!!

Having so much issues starting claim...to courtesy vehicle...they always right...so don't waist your money,time and nerves... Reviewed on: 18th January 2024

Extremely Unprofessional AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I have been with Elephant for three years and didn't have much issues until I changed my Multi Car insurance to Single Car insurance which I didn't have good discount and been offered nearly half price from different insurance companies. I made a complaint after the investigation Elephant didn't offered me a better quote and I decided to cancel it. Jason Parnell Customer Assurance Executive contacted over the phone and explained me the cancellation terms and told me that they had to charge for cancellation fee and they will give me refund of £78.28 because I wanted to go with cheaper insurance I accepted and cancelled the insurance. This conversation happened at 14:01. At 19:37 my wife received an email from Jason Parnell which I attached his response here; FormCode: COM022 217992454/EL/P001 Dear Mrs Sahin Policy Number: P63762705 Complaint Reference: 201231000 I have just spoke with your husband Serhat regarding the cancellation and advanced there would be a refund of £78.28. However, when I got off the phone I noticed that it is actually an outstanding balance of £78.28 that will be owing on the policy as this would cover the cancellation fee and time on cover costs. I am emailing as I am having technical difficulties once again or I would have called to advise. This payment is showing that it would be due on 13/11/2021 and would come out shortly after that date. I apologise for the inconvenience. Yours sincerely Jason Parnell Customer Assurance Executive This is an absolute disgrace, I was on the phone with him and he already stated that they were going go refund that amount, It's all recorded I can't believe this especially company like Admiral. We recently paid our monthly payment and this is totally acceptable. I attached his correspondence so everyone can see how trustworthy and unprofessional Elephant insurance are, I will definitely take this further and will get Financial Ombudsman to resolve this for me definitely not having this.

Worst nightmare ever

Worst experience ever. Insured car with Elephant, stolen the following day. Claim denied costing £15k. Escalating to Financial Ombudsman m, total nightmare. STAY AWAY THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF INSURANCE COMPANIES BE CAREFUL OF WEBSITES LIKE CONFUSED.com and money supermarket.com as you get what you pay for. Reviewed on: 11th January 2020

Great Service

They are quick to answer the phone and always give great customer service. They help when you are stuck and try their best to help you out to get the best option for your situation. Reviewed on: 12th September 2019

Brilliant for my car insurance!

Fantastic company, easy to use website to update address details or anything else you need to, fab customer service never had any problems and very competitive prices! Reviewed on: 9th September 2019

Good but...

Competitive prices, but when it comes to renewal they don't try hard enough to keep you on board and offer much higher premiums than the year before. Reviewed on: 6th September 2019

Still on hold

Still on hold, phoning to talk about auto renewal for my insurance, I received the auto renewal today via email. When setting up the policy last year i requested auto renewal taken off, my new quote is £980 my other quotes online are £580 so trying to discuss it with them. So far as i write this i have been holding for 1.19.28 minutes... This is absolutely shocking service for a paying customer... If they are this desperate to keep the renewal higher than everyone else then they have lost my trust in an insurance company. Reviewed on: 4th September 2019

Not bad

I've always found the customer service to be very welcoming, friendly and useful. Reviewed on: 19th August 2019

ELEPHANT

quite a descent car insurance cover. Reviewed on: 6th July 2019

Didn't let us down

We had a rock fly up and hit our windscreen on the motorway, and despite significant hassle and delay from the windscreen repair company, Elephant kept on them and made things happen. Couldn't commend them more. Reviewed on: 5th July 2019
