From ‘The Italian Job’ to ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’, the humble Mini is something of a cult classic. Well, the small car with bags of style is back, and to celebrate the release of its brand new models, online car insurance specialist elephant.co.uk is reducing the cost of insuring them.
elephant.co.uk is insuring the new Mini One Sidewalk (Convertible) at insurance group 6 instead of group 7, the Mini Cooper Sidewalk Convertible at group 9 instead of group 10. They are insuring the Mini Cooper S Sidewalk Convertible at group 16 instead of group 17, the Mini Cooper TD at group 8 instead of group 7, and the Mini One at group 4 instead of group 5.
This means potential savings of up to 10%.
elephant.co.uk’s Managing Director, Ceri Assiratti, said: “The Minis are great little cars, and have a reputation for retaining their value and being very economical to run. We are delighted to be able to help owners of the new Mini models to save money, and we hope that they are encouraged to try us for their insurance.”
So, what does this mean in terms of price? elephant.co.uk compared the cost of insuring the new model Minis at their original insurance group, and when the reduction was applied:
