They are the best, when it comes to powerful cars.

They are charging me £400 comp on mine (well soon to be mine) S13 200sx.

And that is with all the big no-no's. IE- Modified, no garage, 20k miles pa etc etc.

EDIT: Helps if I give you the URL: http://www.elephant.co.uk

When I tried them you couldn't get away with many mods, one lad had is insurance cancelled when he rang them to say he'd fitted an adjustable actuator.

£400 is nicely cheap though. :)

Ahhh, just remembered I forgot to tell you about the tricks.

When asked do you have access to another car, say YES.
Insure someone 40 and over on your car as a named driver.

I think you will be supprised ;)

A friend of mine was insured with them. They had shockingly bad customer support.

To change anything you had to email them... which they never answered or you had to phone a primium rate phone line! :eek:

He got round the problem by phonning their falts line then getting them to make changes to the policy!

Cheao but not worth it in his oppinion.

I have had no problems at all.

I rang them yesterday at 1pm and said I want to change my insurance over to my new car (the sx). They took the car details and asked when it should run from I said 2pm (same day), clickty click ... done, and they are crediting £200 onto the card I took the policy out on.

Can't complain about them one bit.
