Elephant Insurance Services took their rates on car insurance down 10% for Virginia drivers.

Glen Allen, VA May, 12, 2010 – Elephant Insurance Services, a direct-to-consumer car insurance company, announced the launch of their new car insurance “Sale” campaign. They are now offering Virginia drivers ten percent off their car insurance. This helps reiterate Elephant’s commitment to frugality in order to provide additional financial benefits to the consumer.

Elephant Auto Insurance is able to provide these car inruance savings to Virginia residents since they reduced their rates on all auto inruance coverages by ten percent from their filed 2009 to 2010 rates. Elephant Insurance Services is opperating aginst the rising car insruance rate trend led by more than thirty-five other car insurance companies that increased their auto insurance rates in 2010. Elephant is hoping that the lowereed rates will incourage Virginia drivers to get a quote with Elephant Auto Insurance and see how much they could save off their current car insurance policy.
 
“With the ailing economy and high unemployment rates, many individuals have dropped their car insurance or lowered their coverage as a way to save money,” said Elephant Insurance Services CEO, Andrew Rose. “Since we have reduced our car insurance rates without changing our auto insurance coverage, we are hoping Virginia drivers will consider Elephant Auto Insurance as a car insurance provider for them”.

In addition to lowering rates by 10% Elephant offers several car insurance discounts, from paperless discounts to good student discounts. You can learn more about Elephant Insurance’s car insurance discounts available to Virginia drivers and get a free auto insurance quote by going online to elephant.com or by calling one of our licensed insurance representatives at 1-877-21-TRUNK.
