Bell Elephant Admiral
Who owns these companies? When i get quotes the sites are all exactly the same.
Bell is the cheapest by a few hundered then i think it was elephant then it was Admiral.
Just thought if i could get a list of similar sites which the company owns i could see if i can get cheaper insurance.

Bell is the cheapest for young drivers, Admiral for old drivers... each insurance company has its own way of working things but they are one company.

They are all underwritten by Admiral as already said along with Diamond
I've been with 3 of the 4 companies. Each year a different one works out cheaper for me

I got mine down to around that with elephant then I rolled in to a field!
They "lost" my car when the collection company picked up the car...very dodgy!
In my experience elephant are a waste of space, very annoying company when claiming...took 3 - 4 months to get my money!
