Elephant.co.uk was one of the first internet insurance brands and was conceived by its parent company Admiral Insurance Services. This insurer now boasts over a quarter of million policyholders and allows customers to administer their policies online in addition to buying and obtaining quotes. There is the choice of third party, third party fire and theft and comprehensive car insurance cover.

As more and more insurers target specific groups of drivers or peoples lifestyles, Elephant makes no secret of the fact that they try to attract young drivers, students or those with little or zero no claims bonus. Often, these are drivers that have either lost their no claims bonus following a car accident or are drivers taking out a policy for the first time or learner drivers. Elephant's acclaimed bonus accelerator policy offers one year's no claim bonus for just 10 months claim free driving and is a popular benefit amongst this target audience.

Unlike some car insurance companies, Elephant also offers legal protection insurance as standard. The main benefit of this is piece of mind that any third party uninsured losses or costs can be recovered following a car accident. In addition, policyholders are covered to drive in specified countries in the European Union.

Optional extras available to customers who take up a Elephant insurance policy include personal accident insurance, car hire cover and breakdown cover.
