Please remember to include Chris Knott in the mix when searching for a car insurance quote.

 

For good drivers, we can often beat your best alternative quote when we know what it is - dis-regarding what the system says we should be quoting. That's because our insurer partners trust us and allow us to quote what we need to to get them good quality business.

 

This year so far we're signing up even more forum members than last year so we must be doing something right!

 

Call Chris Knotts and we'll find you the best deal based on your individual needs.

 

High for the industry, around 75% of Chris Knott's clients are renewing this year too, which means we are pretty consistent in our pricing - not looking to hike the rate if the risk is the same as last year.

 

It's true there have been a few comments regarding the length of time it takes for us to answer calls. But we're pleased to say that we've listened to feedback and have now made it easier for you to get through to the quoting team. They were previously handling other types of enquiry but we're now fielding those enquiries to a separate, dedicated team. You should notice a great improvement.

 

Pick up the phone today if you're due in the next few weeks and see how much Chris Knott can save you.

***UPDATE: 2015 with CHRIS KNOTT INSURANCE***

 

Happy New Year to you all.

 

Thanks so much for your custom in 2014, especially in response to the Chris Knott Prize Draws at the tale end of the year. I'm pleased to announce that December's winner was Mrs D Woodfin from Bolton. She bagged herself a £100 Amazon Voucher and all she did was ask us for a quote.

 

During the early part of this year we're aiming to start negotiations with the companies on our insurer panel to alter the scheme access criteria, allowing us to quote competitively for even more car club/forum members. We'll keep you posted as things develop.

 

As things stand many car club/forum members are saving money every day but we'd obviously like more members to be able to benefit from calling Chris Knott Insurance. In just the last week we've signed up another 12 forums - forums who've heard good things about Chris Knott and want their members to be able to access great car insurance deals too.

 

If you'd like us to quote when your modified or standard car is due for renewal please call the Chris Knott Club Line on 0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477 and mention this forum to receive the full benefit.

 

Remember, if we couldn't beat your quote before the reason may now have passed, especially if you were just a bit too young for the scheme when you called us. Please include us again in the mix this year.

 

best,

Nick

UPDATE: **Winners all round...**

 

£500 WINNER

Congratulations to Mr B Windeatt, a member of car club forum MG-Rover.org, who won our £500 competition last month. All he had to do was call for a Chris Knott Car Insurance quote to be entered into the draw. Now his cheque is on it's way.

 

WINNING QUOTES FOR MEMBERS

As for our special club car insurance scheme, this morning I asked our Motor Supervisor where we stood against this month's target. She reported that we're almost at 50% already after just the first week of the month's trading.

 

Thanks to everyone who is asking us to quote for their car insurance at the moment. Feedback has been coming in thick and fast. I normally post a few examples from recent days but this time there are so many that I'm having to choose a selection rather than all of them. It has really kicked off and I'm glad we're helping so many car club members to save money as well as providing good broker service.

 

Please call us if your car insurance is due soon and mention this forum to access the special car club member scheme and maybe we'll be your best option this year too.

Feedback about Chris Knott Car Insurance from happy car club/forum members whose business we've won:

 

"I have just taken a policy a out with these guys and they beat my cheapest quote by 10% and may I say the service was top class. I personally was looked after by Kathy who was very helpful and polite. Can't recommend enough." YamYam, FiestaSTOC.com

 

"Looks like I'll be taking a policy through you guys. Far cheaper than what my renewal is through my current company!" Ant21, Astra Owners Network

 

"RS3 insurance time is just around the corner, so seeing as we insured the TT with them, thought I'd go to Chris Knott Insurance to see what they could do...... Emailed Nick yesterday, had a call today and went through everything, job done, they have literally halved what Admiral's renewal quote was. When the van is due in February I shall be calling them up for that too... It's nice to see an insurance specialist actually deliver a good service and save us money. Too many promise good rates on high performance cars but never seem to get close to 'normal' insurance companies quotes. They also gave me £20 off for already having a policy with them..... And being an Audi-Sport.net member....." Veneeringman, Audi-Sport.net

 

"They smashed my renewal and beat my cheapest quote. It saved me £232 (Jan). A good way towards taxing it for 12 months." PaulRS3, Audi-Sport.net

 

"Took an insurance policy out with you over the weekend. Really happy with the service and really chuffed with my quote. Cheapest out of everybody I tried. Thanks." AdamJonezy, Briskoda.net

 

"Just got my girlfriend's TT insured with you guys today - gave you a quote I'd got from Confused and you guys managed to beat it by over a £100 Girlfriend is a happy bunny " chirag1988, 350z-uk.com

 

"Could I just add Nick, that I had exceptional service by a lovely lady called Kathy, very polite and helped me with my questions regarding my quote this evening with a competitive price. Please pass on this feedback!" Dean, ClubPolo

Guess which clubs/forums feature in Chris Knott's Top 20...

 

Chris Knott Insurance specialises in looking after the insurance needs of car enthusiasts, working for the members of around 200 car clubs/forums across the UK.

 

We've compiled our Top 20 clubs/forums for the first half of 2015. The results are based on a combination of the number of quotes requested by the club, the number of new policies sold and then the % of quotes converted.

 

If your club features it means you're more likely to save money on your standard/modified/multicar insurance when you ask Chris Knott to quote because you're very active with us.

 

If your club doesn't feature it's probably because the enquiry levels themselves are low - get asking us to quote and you could feature next time around!!

 

As car club members generally look after their cars better than the average driver, the insurers on our panel allow us to be a bit more flexible in our pricing and respond to your best alternative quote rather than a rigid computer calculation to win the business.

 

This is currently working best for members of these forums:

 

THE CHRIS KNOTT TOP 20

 

1. Alfa Romeo Owners Club

2. Volvo Owners Club

3. Saab Owners Club

4. Briskoda

5. CIVINFO

6. Z4 Forum

7. Mercedes-Benz Owner

8. Audi-Sport.net

These club members are happy with their recent quotes:

 

"Just renewed mine again this week and it was cheaper than anywhere else I went to. Declared my mods too and changed my address with no cost. Brilliant." JackW, Civinfo

 

"Just spoke to a lovely lady called Kathy, and they got my quote down from £298 with Post Office to £200 all in. Money Supermarket were offering me £194 online, with a supposed £0 excess....via Esure/Sheila's Wheels. That I find hard to believe, and having been burnt before on these enticing offers (once they have you, they then load everything on - windscreen, legal, business use, etc). Kathy got me a great deal with what I wanted, £100 excess and all the other bits included!" jodonut99, Dacia Forum

 

"So far so good! Not only did they beat my renewal but they beat the lowest quote on the comparison website by a whopping £70. Saved over £200 on my renewal quote. Content of insurance seems great also. Hopefully I won't need to use them but hope all is well if I do! Thanks CK!" Watsona6, Briskoda

 

"Just insured my 530i with Chris Knott - they were £70 cheaper than my renewal cost from Admiral and beat the cheapest quote I could find anywhere else by £20, can't argue with that Kathy was very friendly and helpful on the phone and called back straight away when I was cut off by a thunder storm so I didn't have to go through all the menus and questions again, which was nice." lufbramatt, BMW 5 Series forum

 

"Just renewed my policy yesterday with CKI. Heres to another easy amd cheap 12 months" Jamie, Fiesta OC

 

"Big thanks to Rebecca at Chris Knott - having moved to an even more dodgy postcode my previous brokers wouldn't entertain renewing. Chris Knott matched me up to my previous insurers with the same cover as before. Excellent friendly service, and reminded me to get the rest of my documents sent in when I'd obviously forgotten!" Rebel Rebel, Volvo Performance Club UK

 

"Got my renewal from CKI at £800 which is cheaper than last year by £60. Shopped around online and got a quote for £640 so I thought I would have to leave CKI this year. A phone call to Milton and a few emails later he got back to me and said my insurance company will match the quote like for like for £640 aswell. All in all Milton just saved me £160. Calls centre are friendly and more than happy to help you and English based which is a big bonus. Here's to another year with @ChrisKnottIns :D:D" davidm5575, Fiesta OC

TESTIMONIALS

These guys called us and received great savings in the last few days:

 

"Year after year beaten all other quotes. This year managed to drop my renewal by nearly £150 and beating the competition! 5*" David A Dodgson, Facebook Review

 

"I'd like to take some time to thank Chris Knott Insurance for beating my renewal quote of £1554 by £150+. I've had my licence for over a year but didn't get insured straight away, so for 1 year's no claims around my postcode, that was a super saving. Even the choice of paying monthly was low, my original provider would have been in the 2k mark if I chose to pay monthly! Hopefully next year you will do the same and save me big £££. Thanks to Nick for setting this up :good:" Connolly3000, R32OC

 

"You guys just beat the cheapest quote with an insurer I've never heard of on GoCompare, with a decent named company and with my other half on the policy. Well pleased with that outcome. " scruffy_ Type R Owners

 

"3 years in a row now I've not had to move insurers." beckiejmc, Astra Owners Network

 

"I switched to them this year.. Beat all quotes I got plus offered more extras like 'Driving Other Cars'... hopefully same again next year" Thom89, Astra Owners Network

 

"I switched to you guys this year and you saved me over £300 compared to my renewal! Let alone the other quotes I had got." Ant21, Astra Owners Network

 

"Already have my car with CK, but wanted to see if I could get SWMBO's car cheaper when her renewal came around, CK beat it by £25. But then the mrs did some comparison sites and beat that by another £20. I really wanted her to go with CK, but thought "its already £45 less than her original renewal with her old company, the £25 off is probably as good as they can do".....but Ian had a look and managed to knock off a further £5 from the cheapest quote we found! So that's 2 cars (and another friend) all with Chris Knott. Thanks for the great service guys!" robt100, Briskoda

*************************

[CK@Chris Knott Insurance]

UPDATE: a note about competitiveness

 

Looking at the YTD figures Chris Knott Insurance has won 38% of all new quotes offered during 2015. That's really good and means we're frequently beating the best rate that members can find anywhere else.

 

And, if you thought that was just a ploy to attract new clients and then hike the rates in year 2, you'd be wrong - we keep 82% of policies at renewal. This is because we try to offer consistent pricing (as long as there have been no claims or other changes during the year). We're all about trust and long-term relationships, not wildly fluctuating quotes.

 

Please give us a call if your insurance is due soon and we'll do all we can to find you the best deal - sometimes that involves using your best alternative quote to negotiate with the insurers who are vying for your business.

 

To find out how much you could save with Chris Knott you should call 0800 917 2274 (now FREE for mobile phones too).

 

If you call before the end of September we'll also enter you for our current prize draw to win £150 mods/parts/accessories of your choice - see our other posts for details.

 

best,

Nick

TESTIMONIALS

Feedback about Chris Knott's prices and service, gathered in just the last week...

 

"Just wanted to give a shout out to all the people at Chris Knotts, not only did they beat my renewal quote but also improved on the offerings, and that was including the fact my previous best had an extra 10% off for my dashcam! Top knotch service and an unbeatable price, thanks guys and gals!" spikedog, MPS Owners

 

"Well after the hunting and chatting to a few folk, then receiving my renewal quote from Sheila's Wheels which has mysteriously jumped up £100 without any mods declared. I called Chris Knott. Had a chat with the lovely Cathy and taking into consideration the mods that have and are being done got a quote of £200 less than Sheila's who were very concerned about the mods and really did not really understand the mod issue. Hastings jumped dramatically when I mentioned the mods especially the uprated front brakes going on next month so I dropped them out. All in all I have a much better policy, declared mods, better excess and other addon's for £440. Which when you consider my Coupe is parked on a London residential street at home is not bad." Shel, Hyundai Coupe OC

 

"Just changed my car and had a pleasant and effortless time on the phone doing it. As I spoke the lady was simultaneously emailing my new documents over. Premium should have gone up a bit but no charge, swapped my GAP insurance over to my new car as it had over two years to go and all for a modest £15 admin fee. Got off the phone with all new document printing out of my printer and a smile on my face as I was braced for spending out £100 or so. Highly recommend." dagdave, CMax OC

 

"I'm with Chris Knotts myself now since there's a fair chunk of mods on the car these days. Think it was Cathy I spoke to as well when I called, pleasant and no faffing around Well, no faffing at their end, I called back about 3-4x as kept remembering more mods." Lexo, Hyundai Coupe OC

 

"You beat my previous insurer by £200 with the modifications declared and so easy to deal with. Many thanks." Sherri Joyce, Facebook

 

"ALSO a HUGE thanks once again from me! Did a shop around with another company, they sent me [their] quote cheaper, Knott were sent this quote and matched (even beat it by £20), so this is the FIRST TIME in over 16+ yrs of driving I've ever paid for a policy in one go! Very happy again. Cheers guys." vwnutant, UKPassats

 

"Rang you up today and you beat my best quote so I insured through you. Thanks." Outofthi5world, Briskoda

I'm looking to take u up on a quote, just waiting on my renewal to come through, so you got something to work with

[CK@Chris Knott Insurance]

According to the British Insurance Premium Index, car insurance premiums have again risen during the third quarter of 2015 - this time by 4.8%. The index quote has increased to £569 (a rise of nearly £26 over the three months ending 30th September).

 

I'm pleased to say that because we attract safer drivers, such as car enthusiasts like you, the Chris Knott average premium currently sits at £337, some £232 lower than the index.

[Sargara]

I've just insured with Chris Knott and mentioned I was from the 350z forum so hopefully that was recorded. They were able to beat my previous best quote from Greenlight by £30 so I took them up on it and so far so good, I even got a callback when requested too

[STYLZ]

Never had this many issues with an insurance provider. Chris Knott have cancelled my policy because of their own stupid mistake. And what I tiny little stupid mistake it was.

 

They sent me a direct debit mandate with post-it notes saying where each person needs to sign as we have a joint account. The post-it notes where in the wrong place but I didn't know this at the time. So I sent it back exactly how they had asked me to do so still with the post-it notes attached. I then receive a call saying is been signed in the wrong place and they're going to send me out another one.

 

I then receive a letter on the 30th December telling me they are cancelling my policy on that very same day because they haven't recieved the correctly filled out DD mandate. The Letter was dated the 23rd December and I received it on the 30th, they gave me 7 days to fix it. I also received the new mandate after the cancellation letter. Is this my fault??? ABSOLUTELY NOT. NOW I HAVE TO PAY A HIGHER PREMIUM AND GO THROUGH THIS RUBBISH AGAIN TO START A NEW POLICY.

 

All because a member of admin put a post-it note on the wrong part of the form.

 

To say I'm peed off would be an understatement!!!!!!

 

Best part was that I even called them on the 30th December to which I was told by their automated service that they are closed until the 4th January (today). So today they tell me they were open and its my fault. YOU WERE NOT OPEN! YOUR AUTOMATED SERVICE TOLD ME SO!WHY DO YOU THINK I'M CALLING YOU FIRST THING TODAY!

Edited January 4, 2016 by STYLZ

[CK@Chris Knott Insurance]

Hi, we were open all day from 9-5 on 30/12 but closed on 29/12 and half-day on 31/12 - maybe you called on one of those days instead? Anyhow, as you know there were a few other issues with your paperwork over several weeks (with things not adding up) and the incorrectly signed DD seems to have been the final straw. The cancellation was not solely the result of going over the 7 day response time as we would always allow extra time for the Christmas post and indeed we've not cancelled anyone else off over the Christmas break.

[STYLZ]

The other information that didn't add up was already discussed with the advisor who set up my policy and it was getting sent to you. your comment about things "not adding up" had no part to play in the cancellation as the advisor I was dealing with told me that we need to sort the issue out with the mandate first and foremost and the other information can wait until after. The fact remains, you made a mistake with the mandate I had sent to you not me. And I was not given extra days at Xmas at all,the day I recieved your letter was the day you cancelled my policy. If you were open on the day I tried to call you then why did your automated service say your offices are closed until the 4th of January. Maybe someone should do their job and do an investigation rather than tell me that there is nothing more that can be done and my complaint cannot be resolved. I will be writing a letter to the managing director who may be able to do a better job than Andy,the person I spoke with today,and listen to the calls. Your simple stupid mistake of putting a post-it note with the wrong persons name to be signed left my family without an insured car over this time of year.

But that's not the reason is it, have a read of what CK wrote above?

[CK@Chris Knott Insurance]

The cancellation was effected as a result of all the combined factors meaning we were no longer comfortable with you as a risk. The incorrectly completed DD was the last in a string of problems.

[STYLZ]

That is exactly the reason and i have read above, CK is just saying what they need to say to try and cover their backs. CK did not listen to the previous calls I have had with the advisor that set up the policy who stated the mandate is the most important part so they can take payment. CK's admin team instructed me, on the mandate using post-it notes whose signature is to go where. They put one post-it note with the wrong name on it. There is a legitimate reason why the other documentation has not been recieved which was discussed in detail with the advisor that set up the policy. She did state that if the mandate wasn't received the policy will be cancelled, CK received the mandate but their mistake has lead to the cancellation.

Incorrectly because of your bloody admin mate. Do your job and listen to all the calls before you post your nonsense answer. If your agent was there she would tell you exactly what's been happening, but she's 'OFF' so maybe you should listen to the calls.

Chris am i Correct in saying you can't cover me then? 25, 6 years NCB with 0 Points, been driving my zed for 2 1/2 years now.

[CK@Chris Knott Insurance]

Insurers have a minimum age on the vehicle of 28 to protect the scheme. Your experience and bonus is spot on but you can't do anything about the passing of years so unfortunately we can't help you for a while yet

 

Sorry,

UPDATE: £56 CAR INSURANCE SAVING WITH CHRIS KNOTT

 

Hi, I just wanted to say thank you to all the members who've used us for their car insurance already this year. Last month we had our best February EVER and it's all down to you - Chris Knott's best February in 33 years of helping car club members save money on their car insurance!

 

I had a look at the 2016 figures on Thursday and the average saving we negotiate for a car enthusiast is £56*.

 

That's £56 less than the best alternative quote a member can find. Some save more, some save less of course but it's a good message and means it's worth picking up the phone to request a Chris Knott quote when you're looking around at renewal.

 

Don't forget if you're due in the next few months, that you can gain entry into our Spring Spectacular with 3 great prizes on offer (http://www.chrisknott.co.uk/rewards/2016/spring/) just for receiving a quote. See our other recent post about getting a quote and winning.

 

For your no-obligation quote please call Chris Knott FREE on 0800 917 2274 (free from mobiles too).

 

To get the full benefit of club membership please mention this forum specifically when you call.

 

Thanks,

Nick

TESTIMONIALS

Further recent proof that our special club scheme has value in the car club community:

 

"Just set up my insurance with Chris Knott earlier today. Did the usual trawl through Gocompare and Confused to set the benchmark and then had a call from Kathy at Chris Knott. They came back and bettered the lowest quote by £30 but also provided much better cover by not limiting the miles (£335 all in)." SparkyBrum, Z4 Forum

 

"The service I received when I had the quote was excellent and Chris Knott seems to have a good reputation on car forums." hineyho87, FiestaST OC

 

"Well you guys had the cheapest quote so I'm going with you. Cancelled my Sky policy just now." rob275, GT86/BRZ Drivers Club

 

"Excellent service from Chris Knotts - told them a week ago I was in the process of purchasing a private plate, the guy on the phone said because I informed them early the £15 it would've cost to amend the paperwork will be waived, well happy." deni.babe, CivInfo

 

"Just phoned up after receiving a pathetic renewal quote. Really impressed by the service and the quote I have received." aslee17, AlfaOwner forum

 

************************

 

 

*£55.98 to be exact - the average difference between our quote and the member's best quote (from shopping around or their existing renewal, whichever was the cheaper) where best alternative quote information was provided.

It's amazing how many of the testimonials we receive start with the word "Just" - some examples of this month's feedback:

 

"Just bought my insurance with CKI, very competitive prices... Many Thanks." benv6, Z4 Forum

 

"Impressed with your super-efficient service today, instant docs by email and helpful staff. Better than the big boys!" @nsales_co_uk, Twitter

 

"Many thanks. Quick service and very competitive quote. Makes it easier when you speak to the same person again." rustynuts, Briskoda

 

"Just had my quote for the first time from CK. Could not beat my best comparison quote [initially] but were only £3 more than the cheapest. However once you take in to account all the free extras they threw in it beat Tesco bank hands down. They're calling back Tuesday morning to set it up. Very pleased, thankyou!" badake, Ford Galaxy Owners Club

 

"Just renewed with you guys today. Great price and policy cover. Thanks :-)" SpecBee, UK Legacy Forum

 

"Great service. Just a quick thanks to the guys at Chris Knott - Emma who I dealt with in particular for her work in getting my quote down to a price I'm very happy with. Best quote I've had for the second year running, great price for the level of cover and modifications on the vehicle. Top work!" AW_Dan, Baby BMW

 

"Just bought a new policy with you today, very pleased as came in 20 pound under the lowest comparison site quote. Will be trying you when I need insurance on the 4x4 and the girlfriend's car. Cheers!" Tricky5, BimmerForums

 

"Another new customer! Great service and knowledge, also beat my renewal and my cheapest online comparison quote. Cheers." ChrisG, Audi-Sport net

 

Thankfully in these examples "Just" means 'recently' rather than 'by a whisker' as we won't simply beat your alternative quotes by a pound - where we can we'll try to make it worth your while to go with our offering.

Spoken to Ian Willis last week for a quote. He's brilliant all the way through. No pressure at all and gave me lots of options. Asked me to wait for my current insurance renewal quote to arrive first and call back later. He said he'll take 10% off for a like for like quote.

 

Rang back today, and lucky enough that Ian picked up my call again. All sorted now, price was a tiny bit more (added legal cover and 56% less on voluntary excess) but customer service by Ian has won the business really.
