Does anyone live in inner London (not within congestion zone but outside) with a 'High risk' band post code?

If so what company do you use?

Yep, I live in East London and have used Elephant for the past 10 years.
Have always checked other insurance companies on renewal and no one can ever get within £150-£200 of Elephant's price.
Admiral (Elephant are part of the same group) are pretty close, and at one point beat Elephant by a few quid but I chose to stay with Elephant.

I found that playing about with the options in the online quote saved me quite a lot also; see this thread -----> LINK

Cheers for the link mate. Funnly enough I am also with ADMIRAL too lol

I got a cheaper quote from elephant and because ADMIRAL are a sister company they priced matched the quote.

I pay £1117 at the moment, not sure if you read my previous posts but I have been quoted almost 1.5k more to insure my car as the market stands now..... and that with 2 NCB and me being older :/

That's mental... and I bet not right.
If the online quote doesn't work in my favour then I phone the company, tell the person who picks up the phone that the online price is too much, they then go and "speak to the supervisor" and 9 times out of 10 come back with a more sensible price.

It's scary the amount I could've paid over the years if I had just accepted the prices given. I reckon i've saved over 4 or 5k.

But yeah, living in London I don't think anybody can compete with Elephant/Admiral.

Joe let me know when you going for renewals i'll arrange for one of the guys on sales to give you a call. I'll just need to know your reg policy number and how much you were paying on your insurance before.

Cheers

Have you tried getting a quote with green light? I believe they are pretty good aswell?
 
A big +1 for Greenlight from me. Can't hurt to give them a call and they saved me much cash.

I'm 37, on a std 2007 S3 with no points or claims. Direct Line wanted over £1000 on renewal - a 40% hike! After much searching and depressingly high prices from most, I was going to go with Elephant / Admiral at around £700, but Greenlight came back with £550 protected NCB. :rockwoot:

Nice helpful staff as well. Back to the old school brokers for me...:icon_thumright:
 
i'm 19 my insurance in £3014 fully comp with my parents on my S3 2010 , no mods , no point , 1 claim , 1 ncb with admiral

+1 was with these last year. Excellent service, remap declared too.
Shame they werent quite as competetive this year, `A Plan` ended up being a bit cheaper.

iirc they were looking at more VAG website sponsorship as they they seem to have a good understanding of modified cars and go that bit further to negotiate rates with underwriters.
Defo woth a call.

cheers

I'm just amazed by how all these youngsters :happy: can afford these cars and insurance premiums.
At 19/20 I was driving a 1.0 Vauxhall Nova that had one front wing from a 3 door model and one from a 5 door.
Had to carry a set of spark plugs with me everywhere too, cos the car would burn them out after every 30 miles.
It had an SR spoiler on it though.

Insurance - £900, 3rd party.
 
33 year old male been driving for 16 years with my own insurance without any claims being made and no convictions in that time.


My insurance for my S3 with a £1000 excess and full comp is £404 through Admiral.
 
35 yr old male with 6yr NCB, no convictions

£420/yr with £250 excess with Audi Insurance for my S3
