Who Elephant is
Elephant is a US auto insurer based in Richmond, Virginia. Its brand covers several companies:
- Elephant Insurance Company, the auto underwriter.
- Elephant Insurance Services, LLC, its agency.
- Grove General Agency, also part of the brand.
Elephant has more than 400 employees and over 225,000 insured drivers. Alberto Schiavon is CEO, according to InsuranceNewsNet in January 2026. Its underwriting mailing address is P.O. Box 5005, Glen Allen, Virginia.
Elephant's new owner
Elephant is still operating, under new ownership. On April 22, 2025, Admiral Group plc agreed to sell its US motor business to J.C. Flowers & Co. That included Elephant Insurance Company and Elephant Insurance Services.
The sale was completed effective December 31, 2025. Admiral announced it on January 5, 2026. Admiral said J.C. Flowers sees Elephant as "well positioned to expand further in the U.S."
We couldn't verify any plans for new states or products since the sale.
The buyer took both the insurer and the agency. So the companies you deal with keep their names. What changed is who owns them. Admiral said the price approximated Elephant's net asset value, paid in cash.
Who issues Elephant policies
Elephant Insurance Company is the auto underwriter. In Texas, auto may be underwritten by Elephant Insurance Company or by Redpoint County Mutual. Elephant's site notes that Redpoint "is not an Elephant Insurance company."
Elephant's other products come from partner insurers, not Elephant itself. These include home, renters, condo, life, pet and umbrella.
We couldn't verify Elephant Insurance Company's AM Best rating. Look it up yourself before you buy.
What Elephant sells and where
Elephant writes auto, motorcycle, RV and watercraft coverage. Its auto states are Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. It started in Virginia in 2009, then added:
- Maryland, Illinois and Texas in 2013.
- Indiana and Tennessee in 2016.
- Ohio in 2020.
- Georgia in 2021.
Elephant sells direct by phone and online. It also works with agencies. It has a direct appointment program and joined the Independent Insurance Agents of Virginia in April 2025. It won a 2026 Ivans Spark Award for agency connectivity. Elephant isn't in the First Connect carrier directory.
The most recent state launch in our sources was Georgia in 2021. We couldn't verify whether the new owner plans more states.
Why Texas policies can be different
Elephant's site says Texas auto may be underwritten by Redpoint County Mutual.
For you, the key is to read your declarations page. If it names Redpoint County Mutual, that company is your insurer, even though the policy carries the Elephant brand. Elephant's site is clear that Redpoint is not an Elephant company.
Check Redpoint's rating and complaint record separately from Elephant's.
What to check before you buy Elephant
- The underwriter. In Texas, see whether your policy is with Elephant or Redpoint County Mutual.
- Partner products. Home, renters and other non-auto policies come from other insurers. Check each one's name and rating.
- Bundles. If you combine policies, know that they may be with different companies and have separate claims processes.
- Post-sale changes. Ask whether anything about service or billing changed after the J.C. Flowers sale.
- Your rating check. Look up Elephant Insurance Company's current rating yourself.
