Type R Owners INSURANCE scheme with CHRIS KNOTT :: 0800 917 2274

Unfortunately, we can only offer cover for increases of upto 50bhp over the standard setup before we need to refer to insurers. Once we refer they control the rate.
 
SAVING £197+ with Chris Knott

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-TYR 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.

For a no-obligation quotation please call Chris Knott Insurance on 0800 917 2274 (or 01424 200477 – cheaper for mobiles) and QUOTE: 983-TYR.

Insurance due in August?

Wow, we have a stretching target to achieve this month – our guys will be doing all they can to sign you up if your renewal is due.

All the cars in your household qualify for the scheme and there are extra discounts if you bring more than one car to us.

We look forward to taking your call.
 
Hi,

We're good for Accord Type R - 25+ with 12 months' experience of driving a similar performance car and at least one year's NCB.

For Civic Type R and Integra Type R it seems you'll need to be 30+ with 12 months' ownership of that particular car and at least one year's NCB for us to be able to offer anything worthwhile.

Hope that helps.
 
30 to be competitive or 30 to be eligible...? I think Admiral refuse me until 21 on a DC5 but 30 seems high?
 
Over 30 to be competitive.

Amendment: as at 01/10/2012 we can now quote if you're 25+ with 24 months' experience of driving the car or one of similar performance.

Ive been with them since 2008 when i got my astra vxr but when i got my type r they couldnt get me insured. But would use again as the service was great.
 
Chris Knott relaxes rules on Type R

We're pleased to announce that we have successfully negotiated with insurers to get them to relax some of the underwriting restrictions on a number of vehicles that this forum's members will own.


Previously we could only cover certain models if the driver was aged over 30 with one year's experience of driving the car. Now we can also offer you a quote if you are 25+ with 2 years' experience of driving the car or one of similar performance. The cars we can now quote for if you're 25+ with 2yrs experience are:


Civic Type R
Accord Type R
Integra Type R

also...


Mini Cooper S
Renault Clio (performance models)
Seat Ibiza Cupra
Seat Leon Cupra
Toyota MR2 Turbo
Alfa GTV 3000cc
Audi TT 1800cc
Citroen DS3 (performance models)
Fiesta ST
Astra 888


Just give us a call when you renewal falls due and we'll do all we can to find you the best insurance deal.


Remember, if we can't quote for you it's not because we don't want to.


Thanks.
 
Good news re. BHP increases with Chris Knott

Just to let any engine modders know that we've negotiated a relaxation in the insurers' bhp criteria because our account is running well.


They've agreed to allow us to offer competitive quotes where you have upto a 100bhp increase (formerly 50bhp).

There's also great news about a relaxation in age criteria - http://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?85596-Chris-Knott-relaxes-rules-on-Type-R


Hopefully we can help more of this forum's members save money as a result.


Remember to mention this forum's unique code when ringing for your quote.


Thanks.
