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

UPDATE: a discount is not just for Christmas

This news just in from our Motor Manager, Paul…


One of our major insurer partners has offered us an extra 15% off their rates. They’ve seen how much better car club/forum members generally are as drivers and they want to attract you. We’ve said it before but if price has been the only barrier to you switching to the Chris Knott scheme, you need to pick up the phone and let us remove that barrier.


At the moment we’re signing up about 50% of the quotes offered to car club/forum members but with this extra discount we’ll be able to beat even more members’ best quotes.


You’ll remember the great success of Chris Knott’s 2012 END OF YEAR SALE? – well this could outstrip even that. This is a DISCOUNT IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS but seeing as there’s NO END DATE in sight, it will even benefit those whose renewal isn’t due for a few months.


Here’s what car club members have said about Chris Knott in the last couple of weeks (genuine quotes with usernames supplied) and the extra discount wasn’t even in play then:


”Purchased an MPS 6 yesterday and Chris Knott Insurance was by far the cheapest on both cars (MPS was £540 - 23 years old, 2 years no claims) and the service was the best from any company ever. Keep up the good work!” MeetKane, MPS Owners Club

“Chris Knott Insurance got it well below what the competition offered!” TurboPete, Mercedes-Benz Owners Association


”Just signed up with Chris Knott. Great price £250 fully comp on a 2009 GP Abarth, 3 points, 40 years old, 5 years NCB protected, legal, key cover, £250 excess. Happy chappy!” Martwho, Fiat Forum


”I don't normally find such good deals, so I don't normally shout about them, but Chris Knott Insurance gave me a quote which was more than £300 BETTER than the first one I had elsewhere, and nearly £40 better than anyone else could do. Top stuff.” MarkBT, Briskoda.net


”Just insured my Grand with Chris Knott. Helpful, non-pushy sales staff and it saved me almost £200. A very happy customer :)” Paule, C-Max Owners Club


”Talk about quoting me a price that nearly made me faint - doubt I will be doing anymore research. Expect a call after payday :D. I spoke to a guy called Paul - finally an insurance guy that knows what he’s talking about.” Sternritter, MPS Owners Club


As long as you meet our usual criteria, we expect many more members to have this kind of experience with Chris Knott Insurance. Ask us to quote today.


Call Chris Knott Insurance on 0800 917 2274 (or 01424 200477) – it’s our job to save you as much as we can on your car insurance while giving you good quality cover and sound insurance advice.

Enter the Drive Workshop, where you’ll find a range of iconic vehicles, including Ferraris, Porsches, and a fleet of single-seater race cars being prepared for the track. Then it’s onto the winner’s podium for a must-have photo opportunity before rounding off your visit with a guided tour of the famous Grand Prix circuit.

UPDATE: CHRIS KNOTT now quoting M, L, OL and SK1-12 postcodes


If you live in any of the above postcodes you'll know that it used to be difficult for us to quote you under the club insurance scheme.


The good news is that insurers have agreed to open up these postcodes to us.


Some of the very risky areas are still not available to us (in reality there aren't many of those) but we can quote competitively on the rest. There are sometimes overnight parking requirements attached to the quotes but this is a big step forward in the right direction.


Regardless of your postcode area, if you've not yet given the Chris Knott Insurance club scheme a try please do so or if you have tried us in the past and we couldn't help you - chances are that we'll be able to help now.


Please call FREE on 0800 917 2274 and put us to the test.


Here's what Kris, a member of STdriveRS forum, said recently:
"Guys, definitely worth calling Chris Knott, my renewal with Esure was £273, which I was extremely pleased with. Contacted both Chris Knott and [a competitor] because of this forum. Unfortunately [the competitor] said they couldn't beat it, and when CKI called me back I wasn't expecting them to either and even told the lovely lady on the phone this, but we still went through all the details. Then I waited 2 minutes whilst she got me the price, when she came back on I was expecting "sorry, but...", but no, was pleasantly surprised to hear "we can do it for £240". Absolutely stoked, and when my wife's insurance is up for renewal in the next few weeks CKI will be my first port of call too." Krisby, STdriveRS.co.uk


More exciting news coming on Monday...

Comprehensive cover for a single vehicle currently costs just £59.50 but, with new additions of two or three-car cover for only £109 and £128 respectively, there’s now even more reason to choose Chris Knott Breakdown.


CHRIS KNOTT MULTI-CAR BREAKDOWN

If you have more vehicles we can arrange cover for those too, using these products as the building blocks.

UPDATE: CAR INSURANCE WISH LIST


Hi,


In the Chris Knott office recently we were considering whether there were things the industry could do better. We were also contemplating what we as a business could do better.


Being that we're coming to the end of the year and are starting our planning for our new financial year which begins 1st Feb it's a good time to ask this question of you.


It's incredibly important for us to get members' views in all this as we seek to provide the things you want and need. Interactivity is the benefit of being involved with a forum.


Of course, a competitive price is always going to feature highly among the responses - we know that and we've responded as the market has softened in recent months. But we're also keen to find out if there are things besides the price that matter to you from a cover or service point of view that would be useful.


We'll look at all your suggestions - some of them we'll be able to arrange straight away, others will take longer to organise, maybe involving insurers, and some will not be possible at all but we'll do all we can to respond to the sensible suggestions.


To make sure we're not just feeding our competitors ideas, please PM me on here or drop us a message on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ChrisKnottIns) or Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/Chris_Knott_Ins).


We look forward to hearing from you but please maintain the helpful, collaborative spirit in which this is intended.

This feedback posted just today on one of the forums: "Would just like to say a big thank you to Chris Knott - sponsor on here - for giving me a very decent insurance policy. Had an accident in December and found Chris to be very understanding and really helped me out. Bettered my quote by about £30-£40, lowered my excess and got all this with added courtesy car, legal cover and car hire purchase. Was very pleased to also hear the very small interest rate for paying monthly! A big thank you and hopefully I'll get my NCB bonus back so that my premium is even lower!" Wardy, Briskoda.net

TESTIMONIALS:
"Had a quote at the weekend which was over £30 cheaper than the best quote from elsewhere, another happy customer." lazybones51, Clubcento

Bettered my quote by about £30-£40, lowered my excess and got all this with added courtesy car, legal cover and car hire purchase. Was very pleased to also hear the very small interest rate for paying monthly! A big thank you." Wardy, Briskoda.net


"I can highly recommend these folks, the quotes blew away my renewals by miles. Got a steal on the breakdown cover too. Cheers." duemila, AlfaOwner.com


"Went ahead with my insurance today with Chris Knott Insurance. Undercut my existing renewal quote by 10% over the phone before I could even approach the subject myself! Mod-friendly and polite service (Kim). Many Thanks guys." Av4nt, Audi-Sport.net

Buying a MY14 Car? CHRIS KNOTT GAP Cover...

If you're buying a new car in the next few months the dealer will probably try and sell you GAP Insurance. This is a good protection that means you can afford a new one if the car is written-off during the first few years of ownership. The problem is that dealers often charge inflated prices for the cover.


Chris Knott GAP Cover on a car purchased for £15,000 is just £82.34 and on a vehicle purchased for £50,000 only £151.08 and that gives you 3 years' protection.


Before you agree to the dealer's GAP Insurance, make sure you get a comparative quote for Chris Knott's GAP Cover.


Ask us for a stand alone quote or combine the cover with your car insurance - simply call 0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477 and follow the 'car insurance' options to find out just how affordable Chris Knott GAP Cover could be for you.

GAP Cover now online with CHRIS KNOTT...

Well the title says it all really - following the success of our online 'quote and buy' system for Chris Knott Breakdown Cover we've placed our popular 3-year GAP Cover online too.


GAP Insurance QUOTE link: https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/GAP


What is GAP?
In the event of a total loss claim (a write-off), Chris Knott GAP Cover pays the difference between your motor insurer's settlement amount and the original net invoice selling price or the finance early repayment figure (whichever is the greater). Effectively this cover enables you to remove depreciation from any total loss claim in the next 3 years and ensures you really can buy a better replacement.


This is suitable for the newer cars in your household, not necessarily the car that inspired you to join this forum.


You can arrange cover today on any car you've purchased in the last 90 days and if the vehicle is less than 8 years old with less than 80,000 miles on the clock.


You are still welcome to call us on 0800 917 2274 but if you'd prefer to do it all online please visit https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/GAP


Don't forget we're here for your car insurance too!


best regards,
Nick
 
UPDATE: There was a Radio 4 programme recently and the expert being interviewed concluded that consumers should not buy GAP from a car dealer. He even went as far as to advise listeners to get it through a broker for best value.


Here's the link - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01xwj5m - first a consumer's shocking experience and then the independent expert's view. Interesting listening!

Well what can I say? The guys at Chris Knott are epic.

Had my renewal quote from my previous provider. Started calling the insurance companies on here. Most of them only beat the renewal quote by a few £££. Called Chris Knott insurance and they smashed the price!

Very happy with the price nearly £200 off the renewal quote.

Big thanks Chris Knott and a huge thanks to Kim and Rebecca.
