I definitely need to replace my cars windscreen I got full Elephant car insurance. How does this system work? Who should I call and how much excess I will need to pay? Thank you.
Off the Elephant website for glass repair:
Glass repair 0844 543 4429
Opening hours (National rates apply) 24 hours
The excess is usually about £50 for cars and it doesn't affect your no claims bonus.

You can cancel it anytime - they may impose a penalty for early cancellation though.
I want to stay insured with Elephant on this car.
I have now bought a second car, would I have to insure it with Elephant.co.uk or can I insure it with another insurance company?
Any company you want!
Hi,
I've been with elephant.co.uk for 2 years and have just renewed my insurance for a further 10 months.
I am quite bad with my mail and hadn't checked the renewal quote, so therefore I missed the 14 days period to cancel and it is now coming out of my account. I had already paid a months installment before checking the quote.
Fast forward today when I had checked and am totally surprised by the amount of the quote. After checking online on various sites I have been quoted far better deals for the same cover.
After speaking to elephant to cancel they have quoted me £187 just to cancel! This is £47 cancellation fee and the rest is for £2 everyday since the insurance started! I am shocked and appalled at this. Can they do this? Are they allowed? Having been a loyal customer for 2+ years cant they give me some sort of deal to cancel?! Elephant think not and will charge me the full amount to cancel :(
If I went with one of their sister companies who offered a cheaper quote they would waver the cancellation fee but still charge me the rest (£140)
I would appreciate any advice on how to deal with this because I am not happy with the service I am getting, and would not rate elephant at all! If I cancelled my direct debit through my bank what would happen? Could I do that?
Help!
Thanks :S

You should not let elephants drive your car. They are really hard on the seats and tend to be terrible drivers.
Car Insurance Blog: Elephant Car Insurance Review
Like the Admiral site, the Elehant car insurance quote system is easy to use with an uncluttered screen and clear precise navigation and help. Quotes can be obtained in a matter of minutes. A good feature is the ability to recall a quote for up to thirty days and to be able to make changes to covers while still within the process and at a later date.

Been with them for years and they have always been reasonable when it came to quotes in the past.They have all my details correct on the form they sent me, except my banking details have changed. I telephoned them, pressing all the buttons to eventually get through to a human.
I explain why I am calling, and give the new payment account details. I then ask if it is possible to decrease the quote, I alwayswill pay less if I can.
We talk through the policy, changing two details:
1) The car is now a year older, I reduced its value by £2,000. 2) My job title changed from University Researcher to Company Director.
The man from Elephant pressed the buttons to get a new quote. The overall quote increased by £40.
