We've been away for a while due to losing the guy who looked after the forums for us but we've sorted things out now and are ready to contribute helpful comments to the forum again. If at the same time we can provide you with a competitive quote for your car insurance when it falls due - great! It’s no exaggeration to say that the car insurance market experienced unprecedented rate hikes last year with some drivers seeing premiums rise by as much as 40% due to the claims-farming/referral fee/whiplash/fraud fiasco. We understand that was a hard thing for motorists to take especially if you’ve been claim-free. It has been tough out there and even as the club’s own Insurance service we had to respond to insurers’ demands for higher rates. It’s true that we sadly lost some members from the scheme as a result. We recognise that when prices are altered so drastically it encourages a focus on cost alone. Even though we were still competitive for the majority, our continued promise of good service and a strong relationship with the club was not enough to keep everyone. Good News The good news is that we’re now through the other side and as independent brokers we’d expect to once again be able to help the majority of members find the best deal – and that’s more about offering good quality cover at affordable rates than just cheap cover. Offering low quality cover is not the way to do the best for our customers. We couldn’t in all consciousness send members out on the road with anything other than solid cover, the assurance of a reputable claims service and broker backup should the worst happen. So the new message is… if we lost you last year we want you back and if we quoted you unsuccessfully last year please try us again this year. If we lost you last year… If you are one of the clients who left us at renewal, we understand why. But we do want you back. So much so that we’re offering you £20 OFF the best quote we can find when you give us a call this year (just QUOTE: 999-350 when you ring us). Save money on your car insurance Though we use computers as a guide, our expert staff individually assess you based on your own circumstances, regularly beating the rates the computer produces. We’re currently signing up 36% of callers and saving them £82 on average - we’d like you to benefit from this too. Quality service and advice too You’ll benefit from independent insurance advice and personal service where your needs are put before all other considerations. You’ll also be able to speak to a highly-trained insurance expert in the UK and there are no call centres. And you’ll receive all the ongoing support you need, including claims assistance, throughout your time with us. Further discounts You might like to know that we're also currently offering club & forum members a £5 discount on UK Breakdown Cover - all the usual benefits (including HomeStart) PLUS some useful extras not normally covered by the big providers. For example, Chris Knott Breakdown Cover will help if you run out of fuel, accidentally damage your tyres, have a flat battery or you lose/break your keys. The policy normally costs £54.50 but until 1ST September 2012 you can arrange Chris Knott UK Breakdown Cover at the discounted price of £49.50. Breakdown cover details Cover is 'per vehicle' and there are no age of vehicle restrictions. Loyalty Rewards While we’re on the subject of discounts and offers, did you know that once you’ve insured a car with Chris Knott Car Insurance you’ll benefit from a loyalty reward of £20 OFF the cost of each additional everyday car you place with us? You’ll also be entitled to £20 OFF Chris Knott Home Insurance (£50 OFF if you have more than one car insured with Chris Knott Car Insurance). Recommend a Friend scheme As an existing client, if you recommend a friend to Chris Knott Insurance you can claim £20 OFF your next renewal when they go ahead with cover. There’s no limit to the number of friends you can recommend or the discount you can earn. If that’s not enough, all car policies now come with FREE KeyLocator cover – simply register your unique code online, attach the coded tags to your key rings and you’ll get them back if they’re lost and found. Modifications can be covered on a like-for-like basis and you have your own choice of repairer should you need one. We hope you’ll agree that, as we move forward together, the Chris Knott Insurance scheme is a good membership benefit – especially as we can save you a minimum of £197 if you take up all the above offers. We can’t guarantee to be the best for everyone – no-one can claim that. But if you're looking for good quality cover at a competitive rate definitely give the club scheme through Chris Knott Insurance a try when your renewal falls due.

Thank you all for the valuable feedback. We try our best!

Hi Afraid not.

Hi Just a reminder if your car breakdown renewal date is due - £54.50 for full UK nationwide recovery and homestart! http://www.ckinsurance.co.uk/docs/Chris ... akdown.pdf Please just phone 0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477.

Hi If you or your family have home insurance, please read this!!!!!............ The stats show that 1 in 3 people take out a policy with us after being quoted and the renewal retention rate is always over 80% - last month was 84% - showing that more than 8 out of 10 people renew with us. We’ve collated some quotes based on different areas of the country which hopefully will encourage you to ring us when your home insurance is due if indeed you need the cover! Based on a semi-detached house in the Northampton NN3 postcode built in 1920, £200,000 sum insured, 38 year old policyholder, no claims, etc, the premium for buildings and contents cover would be £224 with a £50 excess. The premium would reduce with a higher excess. For the same details in the Birmingham B26 postcode, the price is £182. In Preston PR3 postcode, it’s £192. In Newcastle NE11 postcode, it’s £239. In Barnsley S74 postcode, it’s £218. Obviously the quote may differ depending on individual circumstances, and postcode is one of the biggest rating factors, but we based these quotes on a real customer insured with us. Please feel free to ring us for a quote when you’re renewal is due. If you’ve already got your car insured with us, you will be entitled to a further discount as well!!!!

Hi Whilst the insurance market seems to have hardened over the last 12 months or so, we have always worked hard on our customer service and it’s nice to see comments on the forums of people being satisfied with our efforts. We endeavour to assist customers to our utmost and trust this is a major reason why people renew with us year after year. Bearing this in mind, please feel free to contact us for a quotation on your car (and home!) insurance when they are due. We would be more than happy to quote for you.

Alas no, sorry.

March last year was our equal 2nd best month of 2010 for travel insurance policies on our scheme! If you would like travel insurance, single or annual trips, please feel free to get an instant quote and buy online by visiting http://www.ckinsurance.co.uk/travel.

In an attempt to refine and enhance our service, we are doing a poll to find out what makes you ring us up for a quote. The options are – 1.Was it seeing a post from me on our thread that reminded you? 2.Was it that you knew about the scheme regardless of anyone posting or not, and didn’t need reminding? 3.From our forum advert/banner/wording/pm? This isn’t a thread to discuss the criteria but just an exercise to glean information. Would you be kind enough to vote please? Many thanks!

Always declare mods though on our scheme, we wouldn't tend to load for most.

Just a reminder as the free competition expires at the end of the month. All you have to do is read our online interactive magazine and answer 3 simple questions to be in with a chance of winning 12 months’ comprehensive UK Breakdown Cover. Click the link and good luck – http://issues.pageturninteractive.com/C ... nott.co.uk The draw will take place on 31st March 2011. Happy motoring!

Many thanks Martin!

Hi My apologies for being away from the forums for so long. We have had a few internal changes. March is a very busy month for insurance renewals so please feel free to ring us if your car insurance is due for renewal in the next few weeks. In 2010, we recorded an average saving of 10.5% off our new customers quotes elsewhere and we have just had an extremely good first 2 months of the year – surpassing our target by quite a vast amount! In fact, we were already two thirds to our February target a quarter of the way through the month! It is great to see people ringing us up but we would like every possible person who fits the criteria to at least ring us on the freephone number and hopefully see the benefits that so many other people are seeing. Please phone on 0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477 for mobiles and don’t forget to quote the club reference number found in my signature below. Also, please can you give me your feedback regarding the quote on here as we see so little feedback compared to the number of people who ring us for a quote! The figures show a good number of people ringing but only a handful ever post!

After a strange few months of changing criteria and shifting patterns in the insurance market, January for us, in terms of business, surpassed January 2010 (before all these changes took place) showing that the current scheme seems to be working rather well! I like to think it’s because I’ve put my photo as my avatar but the rest of the team think that has had a detrimental effect. They may have a point! So, please feel free to ring us if your car (or home) insurance is due in the next few weeks!
