Admiral Insurance Choose Insure and Go for UK Travel Insurance

Two leading names in insurance have linked up to provide online consumers looking to purchase instant travel cover with more choice.

The companies behind the joint venture are travel insurance specialist InsureandGo and Admiral, the UK third largest direct car insurer.

InsureandGo rising reputation in offering customers with a comprehensive range of high value, low cost insurance options has also aided them to secure partnerships with two other companies in the Admiral Group - women insurance specialist, Diamond and online insurer, elephant.co.uk.

Visitors to all three sites are now able to view a range of quotes, without the need to input any personal details. And following the quick online purchase process the policy is emailed through to the buyer in seconds.

Admiral business development manager, Hayley Parsons, explained how the partnership agreement benefits customers.

We've been actively seeking partners to help grow and anchor our customer base and we recognised that travel insurance was a vital area missing from our website. InsureandGo was the obvious choice to partner us in this as not only do they provide high value, low cost travel cover but their specialist knowledge and technical expertise is second to none.

A spokesperson from InsureandGo, said: We are delighted to be working in partnership with Admiral, Diamond and elephant.co.uk as together we can provide even more consumers with great value travel insurance.

Admiral
Admiral was set up in 1993 as a direct motor insurer for those motorists that traditionally pay higher than average premiums, including drivers under-35, living in big cities, driving hot hatches, etc.

The Admiral Group employs over 1,400 people, has over 700,000 customers and, this year, is due to turnover around £330 million.

Admiral salesline is 0800 600 800 - open from 8am to 10pm on weekdays, from 9 am to 5pm on Saturdays, and on a Sunday between 10am and 4pm. Admiral web site address is www.admiral.com

elephant.co.uk
elephant.co.uk is the UK first wholly on-line car insurance service. Unlike rival sites, elephant.co.uk will not only offer quotes and sales on-line, but will also handle after-sales services and claims. The site targets 20-35 year-olds living in cities, who traditionally pay higher premiums for car insurance.

elephant.co.uk was set up by the Admiral Group in 2000, it now has over 120, 000 customers.

elephant.co.uk also has a dedicated sales line on 0870 013 1072 – open from 8am to 10pm on weekdays, from 9 am to 5pm on Saturdays, and on a Sunday between 10am and 4pm.

Diamond
Diamond is able to pass the savings made on claims to its customers in the form of cheaper premiums. We do not refuse to give insurance quotes to men, but we will not be competitive for them. We are more than happy to provide a quote if requested.

Diamond was created just for women in response to a need in the market place for insurance specifically for young women drivers, which is not only cheap, but also as hassle free as possible. Our research shows that younger women feel less confident about car insurance compared to men of the same age. In reality the levels of knowledge are the same but this feeling has led them to be less likely to buy direct. Diamond is trying to overcome this barrier. Since launching in June 1997, it has written over 170,000 policies.

Diamond's salesline is 0800 36 24 36. Its website address is www.diamond.co.uk
