I can't believe the amazing feedback received in just the last week. Thanks for posting comments:


"Last year XXXXXX XXXX beat my Admiral renewal quote of £1400, with their £978 offer. This year their offer was £947, which I thought was pretty poor considering I had one more year no claims and still have yet to ever get a fixed penalty. I managed to get them down to £800 over the phone, and Admiral also offered £697 (including mods), but I went with Chris Knott who offered an amazing price of £670! Really chuffed with them. Thanks Kathy!!" Bobobahia, R32 Owners Club


"Had my renewal premium come up, went from £412 to £520, called Chris Knott and it went down to £340, so major happy bunny! Thanks Chris Knott!!!" Imran, VWAudi Forum


"I renewed with Chris Knott last month and out of all the insurance companies I rang they were the most helpful and no one else could touch them on price." Swift Sport 60, Swift Owners Club member


"I purchased my policy from you a couple of weeks ago - so much cheaper than my renewal quote, and still cheaper than the lowest quoted price from comparison site! :) good work guys!" 2k7smiffy, Juke Owners Group


“I just wanted to say a big thank you to your customer service team... I spoke to a really friendly lady on the phone earlier today (didn't catch her name unfortunately) but I have looked all over and you were able to give me the best quote. £365 including legal fees and protected NCB on my 08' Civic 2.2 Type-S. Outstanding considering Bell, who I have been with for about 5 years, could only get theirs down to just over £500 from almost £800! I am expecting a call back on the 19th when I have been paid to go ahead and take out a policy! :)” GarryA, Civinfo


“I had a great experience with Chris Knott today. I spoke to Rebecca, who dealt with my quote quickly and knowledgably and managed to beat the best price from all the other brokers and insurers I have contacted by £25 for exactly the cover I was after. Needless to say I took up the policy then and there and I was really happy with the whole experience.” SimonD, Fiesta ST Owners Club

***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

Hi, just a reminder that the Winter Discount for Chris Knott's UK Breakdown Cover finishes at the end of this month.


Members are currently receiving £5 OFF our usual single or multi-car breakdown rates. If you're thinking about arranging cover please don't leave it too long or you might miss out on this deal.


This seasonal discount is in addition to the built-in multi-car discounts that always run, meaning that it's always cheaper to arrange Chris Knott cover for all your cars together rather than on individual policies with us.


You can get a quote and buy online at https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/rescue or call us for your quote on 0800 917 2274 / 01424 200477.


Chris Knott UK Breakdown Cover offers comprehensive protection including some elements as standard that are often not included by other providers. For full details of what's covered visit https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/rescue


Remember, this offer is for new policies only but if you're an existing Breakdown client upgrading to multi-car cover you'll still benefit from the winter discount.


Make sure you and your loved ones are not left stranded at any time in the next 12 months by arranging cover today at the discounted rate which for a single vehicle is just £54.50.


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 :thumbs: 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

FEEDBACK

"You guys were able to provide me with the best quote. Very reasonable and helpful! Would highly recommend." Robbo1987, Fiesta STOC


"Well, no complaints here, excellent prices and service throughout for both the Zed and the van. Called today to advise fitment of my coilovers and no extra to pay either." glrnet, Nissan 350z forum


"Just did the insurance on my daily with Chris Knott last week. Was with direct line and they couldn't beat the [ck] quote, plus was cheaper than go-compare came back with." Jim Bowen, The Corrado Forum.


"Just bought insurance with CK and have to say the experience was fantastic and they beat all previous quotes from the likes of Brentacre and Sky... Staff couldn't be more helpful so looking forward to a smooth year with them, definitely worth a call." jmayna, Abarthisti forum


"These guys are brilliant! I had to make a couple of changes to my policy after a week or so, and it was all done for free! That and the fact they beat the nearest competitor for price, and I know I'm going to get decent customer service should I need to make any claims!" FishYWishY, Colt UK


"Called and insured my new Zed today fantastic service, quick, helpful and a fantastic price at £300 fully comp. A1 thank you very much." Antm72 zroadster.org

This has reminded me to just get a quote.

Good service and said they'd match but i can't believe that in 2 1/12 years since last insuring a Civic the quote is about £25 more than last time and i've got a lot less mods.

Maybe just the way of the insurance and the way it's going.

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
9. BabyBMW.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:D" davidm5575, Fiesta OC

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. :)
 
Renewed my insurance a couple of weeks ago.

Can't remember who I spoke to but when I asked if he could do anything with the price he said no without any hesitation.

Renewed anyway as I couldn't be bothered to look for another insurance company and send all my documents.

That may be the case if there's no alternative quote available for us to use as ammo with the insurers. If you've had another quote we can often use that to encourage the insurer to reduce their rate or risk losing you.
 
They say that if you wait long enough everything comes back into fashion. That's certainly what's happened with 0800 freephone numbers as, since 1st July, 0800 calls are now FREE on all mobiles as well as landlines.


We'll continue to advertise the Chris Knott geographic number (01424 200477) alongside our freephone number for a little while yet but you can start using our 0800 917 2274 number from your mobiles with immediate effect.


We look forward to your call if your car insurance is due for renewal soon.


You can use the same 0800 number for our Breakdown Cover, GAP Insurance and Home Insurance too.

Nick

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! :clap: So that's 2 cars (and another friend) all with Chris Knott. Thanks for the great service guys!" robt100, Briskoda

Can I ask if you guys will cover my Skyline? Greenlight have turned me down owing to the fact I haven't had the car a year yet. I'm actually quite dissapointed in them as they didn't even seem bothered when I called them up even though I've been a customer of theirs for a good couple of years now. Can someone let me know either here or by PM. Thanks, Darren.

Hi Darren, no I'm afraid we can't get a skyline onto the club scheme - high claims incidence on those.

Sorry about that.

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

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
