Recent Testimonials
More feedback about the Chris Knott savings, service and support:"Certainly my experience with CK has been extremely positive both with initial quotes and purchase and the following calls to add new mods. Only one of the 7-8 calls I gave them in a 3 month period ever resulted in a charge for adding new mods too. Although you really don't know til you have to make a claim they certainly work hard for your custom from my point of view." Lexo, Hyundai Coupe Owners Club
"I just signed up this month through this club. Excellent quote with loads of extras and very low interest on monthly payments. I'm well pleased." NerysGT, GT86 Owners Club
"I've been with Chris Knott for quite a few years including both the XE and the previous XF, plus my other runabouts. Also insured modified cars with them in the past with no hassle. Got my gap insurance through CKI as it was a lot cheaper than Jaguar's own quote and others, too. They've always been the best for service, speed and price especially if I advise them of other quotes elsewhere. To be honest, you should expect to have to barter a little with insurance each year. It doesn't take much time or effort." Pete McK, JagInfo
"I'm with CKI and I find the service great, yes I get the renewal quote, I have a quick look online to compare and if I find cheaper with a 'recognised' insurer I would be prepared to use, I then call and let them know. They have always managed to equal or better the quote. Ultimately you pay your money and take your choice...I think I would rather be with a broker/insurer with a good reputation." dolphinfriendly, JagInfo

Choosing your own repairer.
Hi,
I was contacted recently by one of the clubs we work with. They were concerned about the issue of 'approved repairers' and they wanted to know what our insurer partners' stance would be.
Clearly, most car club members wouldn't want just anyone repairing their pride & joy - you probably have a preferred bodyshop in mind already as you're reading this. And this is where the issue lies.
If you have an accident and want to use your preferred bodyshop over the insurer's approved repairer, can you do it without penalty?
We've heard that some insurers make it difficult by doubling the excess or not using genuine OEM parts. That's not what you want!
I checked with our main insurers and they are very accommodating. They recognise that car enthusiasts like you will be more interested in who the repairer is and whether any parts are pattern or genuine.
So I'm pleased to confirm that you are able to request that your preferred bodyshop is used. Where there's no reason not to use them i.e. they are not majorly uncompetitive, the insurers on our panel will be happy to accommodate your request.
There will be NO increased excess and, wherever possible, the use of genuine parts will be approved.
The only slight downside when you choose your own garage is that the insurers can't control whether your repairer has a courtesy car available. But I guess for many of you your club car is not your main vehicle and if that is a problem it's still possible they will have one available for you - it just can't be guaranteed by your insurer.
If you like the sound of having the freedom to choose your own repairer please call us for your car insurance quote on 0800 917 2274.
And don't forget, if you request your quote before 30/11 you'll be in with a chance to WIN a £250 AMAZON VOUCHER in time for Christmas, courtesy of the Chris Knott 'Awesome Autumn' Prize Draw.

Why you should request a CK quote this Autumn...
Hi, if you were thinking about using a club sponsor for your car insurance but weren't quite sure whether it would be worth it (whether we can compete) you might be interested in 2 things about Chris Knott...
1. Personal service and attention coupled with competitive quotes.
Chris Knott recognises that our car insurance quotes have to be competitive in order to win your custom. As we only work with car enthusiasts/club members we have access to insurer schemes that aren't available on comparison sites and the like. The result is a better policy sign-up rate for us and that's obviously down to you experiencing our personal broker service and liking our quotes.2. Our Awesome Autumn Draw.
As has become customary in the run-up to Christmas, we have a competition running to encourage you to pick up the phone for a quote if your renewal is due in the coming weeks.PRIZE: WIN a £250 AMAZON VOUCHER in time for Christmas.
How to enter: Simply request a Chris Knott Car Insurance quote between now and close of play on 30th November* for your chance to win. We'll automatically add you to the draw so there's nothing else for you to do but call us for your car quote - nice and simple.
QUOTELINE: 0800 917 2274 - please make sure you mention this forum to access our special scheme.
ONLINE: you can leave contact details at https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/CarQuote/?ref=AwesomeAutumn
We'll make the draw on Friday 1st December so you can choose to either keep the voucher for yourself or there'll still be time to use it to sort your Christmas gifts to others.
All the best,
NickPS. The draw is also open to existing Chris Knott clients due for renewal in the same period.

More encouragement for you to call us - what others have said about us in recent days:"A huge thank you from me and my husband for getting so much money off our car insurance! I am seriously impressed and extremely grateful. Please send a copy of this email to your manager so that they know what a great job you have done! Have a great weekend." Mary D, Surecar
"Thanks for beating my quote, giving me better cover and nearly doubling my mileage (allowance), including covering like for like mods. Happy man." Craig, New Mini Scotland
"This is my third year with @ChrisKnottIns and every year they beat all my other quotes for both cars that are modded. Many thanks again and keep up the good work and the prices down!" carlcall, Audi-Sport forum
"I'd like to express my appreciation for the way in which Rebecca dealt with changes to our insurance policies. Rebecca went well beyond her remit in finding a quote significantly cheaper than initially available, saving us ~£400, furthermore offering good advice and excellent service. I look forward to dealing with her in the future." Andrew C, Jaguar Forum

*Genuine quote requests only please - we reserve the right to request proof from the winner that the policy was actually due during the qualification period. -
If you can PM me your real name and phone number I'll have a listen to the call. We shouldn't be making that assumption without knowing more details than just the M. Thanks.

Hi, we DO cover Manchester postcodes but there are often overnight parking arrangements (risk areas 1-60). There are sectors we can't cover (risk areas 61+) - those deemed highest risk by the insurers - and I guess if you live in one of those you know you do already without us telling you.

NickFeedback about Chris Knott Breakdown Cover
It's not particularly recent this testimonial (last October) but I think it expresses really well how we'd like all customers to feel about our service and the cover..."I have had this breakdown cover for a few years and have had to use it three times. Every time it has been handled with alacrity and professionalism. I would thoroughly recommend this cover for anyone thinking about it. The service provided far exceeds the cost and is inexpensive peace of mind." lyserman, Mercedes-Benz Owner forum

Hi, two things quickly -
1. COMPETITION
You'll know we've been running the 2017 Chris Knott Virtual Show & Shine on our social media channels - the chance for members to share pics of their cars with us in the hope of winning a decent prize.We've really loved seeing what cars members drive and from the 200 or so entries it was a tough job to pick a winner. However, I'm pleased to announce the winner of the 2017 Chris Knott Virtual Show & Shine as Ashley Gratton with his MkI Golf.

We keep recorded calls for 7 years!
If anyone's having trouble with a policy or just wants a myth dispelling we're very happy to give advice and point you in the right direction via here.
In this case I think you've a very good cause for complaint. You wanted a policy that would allow you to modify, you were sold the opposite. I'd be asking for a copy of the call or just making a complaint and let them do all the proving. If you didn't ask for it they'll be wanting to evidence that by providing the call. I'm sure it'll work out fine for you once it gets escalated.

Hi KevinA, your premium shouldn't have jumped much without a change in your circumstances compared to last year, though there have been some market changes in the last 12 months such as an increase in tax and something called the Ogden rate which is affecting ALL premiums, either now or in early 2018 depending on the insurer. If your insurer's renewal price is proven to be out of step with someone else in the market please do let us know so we can negotiate a response with the insurer on your behalf.

TESTIMONIALS
See what these guys thought of our service recently..."I've used Chris Knott both direct and through AROC and they always come up with a good deal. They don't throw a hissy fit about mods either." Steve Prill, Alfa Romeo Owners Club
"Hi Nick, just been speaking to one of your team (Kathy) she was brilliant and I am going to be insured with Chris Knott Insurance!! Great service." Elli, Saab Owners Club GB
"Thanks for that, did the quote, and it does look very interesting. My wife (who likes small print) is perusing this and we'll get back to you in a few minutes. I have to say, most efficient dealing with an insurance company, ever ;-)" buze, ZRoaster.org

So, 3 cool things I need to let you know about before I can go on holiday tomorrow...
1. Platinum Supercar Blast plus High-Speed Passenger Ride or Photo - yep, we're running a competition for August. Just ask us to quote for your car insurance this month to gain automatic entry in our draw to win a race track drive in your choice of 6 new supercars at one of 8 track locations nationwide. We'll pick a winner in early September.
QUOTELINE: 0800 917 2274
2. Our Virtual Show & Shine on social media continues (see separate thread). We're inviting all members to post pics of your shiny cars on our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts. You need to tag us, tag your club and use the hashtag #ShowShine2017 to qualify. We're offering a prize for the best pic - an Auto Finesse Detailing Kit - 14 items of high quality car cleaning product worth £156.
LINKS: https://www.facebook.com/ChrisKnottIns | https://www.twitter.com/ChrisKnottIns
3. A reminder about GAP Cover from Chris Knott - this is our combined RTI/Finance GAP cover which is significantly cheaper than that offered by car dealers when you buy a car. Check out our cover which fixes your new/nearly-new car's invoice value for 3 years after purchase, meaning you get a better payout in the event of a total loss incident. It'll give you the difference between your motor insurer's payout and the original invoice price or any outstanding finance - whichever is the greater amount - to make sure you can start again, wiping out depreciation.
Have a look, get a quote, or buy online, at https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/GAP.
Thanks for reading and I'll see you in a fortnight - a greek beach beckons!

Nick
Little bit of feedback:"Matched my previous quote but with a lot more extras free - spot on and great staff." t500tty, MPS Owners Club
"Matched another quote but benefits were loads better than other option." Kwackadave, MPS Owners
"Been with Chris Knott for about 3 years (been with them for various cars over the years, never had a problem)." Dennis, FocusSTOC

They do, hence the contribution to the average increase. Emphasis on the average - ie total cost of insurance divided by number of policyholders.
-
Hi, I thought you'd be interested in this even if your car insurance isn't due just yet but especially if it is! There's some bad news but there's also some relief at the end...
The bad news
According to an industry report last week, Comprehensive car insurance premiums are now at their highest levels since 2010.The report reveals that the average premium rose to £847 during Q2 of 2017. That's an increase of £66 or 8.4% across the last quarter and £132 or 18.5% across the last 12 months.
The report cites 4 main reasons:
1) the increase in Insurance Premium Tax (IPT), which has been going up since July 2015 and now sits at 12%,
2) the marked reduction in the Ogden discount rate for personal injury awards,
3) good old Brexit - insurers are seeing increases in the cost of vehicle repairs, fuelled by Brexit’s impact on car part prices, and
4) greater repair complexity as the level of expensive technology in vehicles increases.
The report claims there's no evidence to suggest the increases are going to abate. A £1,000 average premium is still on the horizon but is getting closer.
There's some good news though...
Chris Knott's average new policy premium is just £405 - less than half the national average according to the report. This is also a much shallower increase across the last year - only £14 (3.6%) and still bucking the trend.As a happy client recently said "This is my third year with @ChrisKnottIns and every year they beat all my other quotes for both cars that are modded. Many thanks again and keep up the good work and the prices down!" carcall, Audi-Sport forum
Please give us a call for a quote to access these lower average rates for club members. You'll need to mention this forum to gain access to our 'Clubs & Enthusiasts scheme'.

Testimonials
Fresh feedback received from car club members recently:"Got a good quote from you guys this year on the M3 cheaper than anyone else (price matched) like others have said a fair amount of paperwork to send off but it's not too bad to be honest and I found the staff to be very helpful too. Thumbs up from me a happy customer for the year." hopz121, Z4 Forum
"Superb service, more than fair prices after a haggle and its lovely to talk to a person in this country... Been with them about 10 years looking after most of our insurance!" Nick Walton, Multipla Owners Club
"Well that's me signed up for another year. Nobody could get close this year, well done CK." riven1962, C4 Owners Club
"I was involved in a no fault accident last year and expected my renewal to go up to stupid money, even though it wasn't my fault. Was really surprised with the quote and have now renewed for another year. Great service received, hope to be with you for many years to come. Cheers." ChrisG, Audi-Sport.net
"Quick and easy Insurance. Just renewed my annual insurance and was fed up with premiums increasing each year so I rang Chris Knott. Service was easy and quick and they managed to reduce my premium compared to other companies. Docs arrived on e-mail very quickly and once I had paid and provided proof of current NCB I had a nice tag to attach to my car keys so if they are lost they can be returned swiftly."

Hi, if you've already done the mods and Admiral won't accept them I'm afraid your only option is to cancel with Admiral and find alternative cover. It does mean you'll lose that year's bonus in all likelihood.

Hi,
I thought some of you might like to see this interesting vid featuring one of the insurers we use to underwrite the club's car insurance scheme - ERS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP7Bvq2-uVU
Gumball 3000 organisers were looking for a specialist insurer to underwrite this year's event - a motor risk that includes Saudi princes, oligarchs and celebrities, driving prestige cars and imported vehicles worth over £30 million on a 3,000 mile journey through 10 countries. Most insurers ran a mile.
ERS got under the skin of one of the world's most unique motor risks to underwrite the Gumball 3000 rally.
You'll see Chris Knott has partnered with insurers who, like us, know what they're doing when it comes to assessing motor risks, are proper car enthusiasts and take great effort to understand the needs of those they're covering.
ERS has long respected the work we're doing with car club members and will help us to win your business when you ask us to quote for your car at the next renewal.
Please give us a call in the mix when searching for quotes and we'll help you find the best insurance deal this year.

Recent testimonials..."I just wanted to send you a message to say many thanks to CK Insurance and Tabitha especially who dealt with my initial query and quotation. Today I have taken out my car insurance with yourselves and it was a nice experience all-round. Tabitha was professional and easy to speak to and answered all the questions I had relating to the cover. I'll definitely recommend others to try you for a quote. You saved me over £375 compared to my renewal quote with *******, and now a chance of F1 tickets! Superb." ZakR, BabyBMW forum
"Just saved £210 on my 9-5 and £167 on my 9-3
Many thanks Chris Knott." zagato, UKSaabs forum
"My last insurance wouldn't cover brake or suspension mods even though they would make the car handle better, but would insure exhaust and air intakes, which sort of add more performance. Anyway, I found Chris Knott were best for me. Club Sponsor." Dan France-Athayde, Hyundai Coupe Owners Club UK
"Just called up for a quote. Doing it all by phone is beautifully antiquated. However, there was a refreshing degree of honesty with the process. In my case they COULD match any sensible quote and were honest that if I wanted the bare minimum I might be able to get it marginally cheaper but highlighted the coverage differences. The breakdown cover similarly has some pretty good terms for the price. Waiting on my old insurer (£650 more expensive) to post out the paperwork." Cyber_hawk, Z4 Forum
"I have my 480 on classic car insurance through Chris Knott this year; a better package than the previous one I had through ****** **** (in particular the insurance company in question is UK based and well known, as against Gibraltar based and completely unknown to me) and significantly cheaper. And I was very impressed with the service!" dcw, Volvo Owners Club

Chris Knott - great prices AND service...
Thank you to everyone who took up new policies with Chris Knott in April - our best month so far this year - you helped us reach 114% of our target! We're genuinely grateful for your custom.
Our retention of existing clients at renewal was also much higher than expected in April. Evidence that we do have the great rates available for car club/forum members and enthusiasts that we claim.
Here's what a couple of club members said:
"It just gets better. My documents arrived today and my premium is only £300.50 which is £10 cheaper than I was quoted." CiderFex, New Mini Scotland forum"Hello, I've just just got my Civic insured with Chris Knott. They [quoted] me £200 less than my renewal quote and £20.75 off the next best quote. I'm well happy." YonderBen, CivInfo
"Chris Knott beat my *** renewal majorly. And by that I mean it was half the price!" rob275, GT86/BRZ Drivers Club
Please give us a call if your car insurance is due in the coming days and find out how much you can save by switching to Chris Knott.
Remember, if you request a quote up to 31st May 2017 you'll gain automatic entry in our prize draw to WIN 2x 2017 British F1 Grandstand Tickets for Silverstone (with parking). You'll also qualify if you're an existing client with a renewal due during the qualification period.
We can quote upto 30 days ahead, so even if you're due in June we can quote you before the closing date.

PS. When we give you a good quote it doesn't mean we're sacrificing on quality or service. Members are happy with our service too:"Morning guys, just wanted to say thank you to Kathy for her amazing service when quoting me for insurance. The quality of knowledge and friendliness was really refreshing, especially after dealing with my current insurer and others. I am just awaiting a call back to finish of the deal. Could you pass on my thanks and praise." Carta, FiestaSTOC
"Chris Knott - Brilliant Service. Just got off the phone with Chris Knott Insurance and was really really surprised at how pleasant an experience the whole process was!! So a big thanks to them and the forum code no doubt helped as I got cover for my 'new to me' '59 beetle for £77 fully comp inc agreed value. Well happy!" SimonRev, Volkszone
"I would also like to add my thanks for the excellent service I have received over the last few years." Mr T Bodill, CivInfo
"Just renewed with @ChrisKnottIns and I suggest you do too! Great service and price plus you can speak to a real person!" @Neil_Sealy, Twitter

Hi,
The BBC News website reports:
"Drivers saw their car insurance premiums rise by an average of £110 in the last year, a comparison site says. More expensive repairs and recent government changes to injury payouts pushed up annual insurance costs by 16%, according to Confused.com. It found drivers paid on average £781 on comparison sites for a comprehensive policy in the year to March 2017. Average premiums are set to rise to a record high and could pass £1,000 next year, it added. Newer vehicles have seen some of the biggest rises, because their increasingly complex electronics have made repairs more expensive......The Confused [dot] com research...checks more than four million car insurance quotes."
I just wanted to let you know that the Chris Knott average premium through the club insurance scheme is much lower than that reported on the comparison sites.
In March 2016, Chris Knott's average premium was less than half that at £369. This March (2017) it was £399 - just a £30 increase and still majorly more economical than £781. There's definitely something beneficial for members in using the club scheme through Chris Knott then.
QUOTELINE: 0800 917 2274 - please call us at renewal.
If that's before 1st June you'll also gain entry in the Chris Knott 'British F1 Grandstand Tickets' Prize Draw.
best,
Nick

Recent testimonials from CK customers across the car enthusiast community..."£367 cheaper than my renewal from flux, £65 cheaper with no limited mileage & all mods covered after shopping around. I am a happy bunny thanks." G30001, R32 Owners Club
"Had my quote matched today so new CK customer on Saturday as of renewal time. Covers all the mods that are planned from the stockpile of parts in the garage that have been collected over the last few months... Spoken to 3 different ladies (Tabitha, Kathy (of Legend) and Rebecca) and the level of customer service has been consistently brilliant with everything being understood first hand and not needing to explain what each mod is." benmellor, GT86/BRZ Drivers Club
"Thank you Daryl for matching a cheaper quote from another insurance company. Guess I will be staying with Chris Knott for another year. :)" Jon Dixon, Facebook
"I may need to hop back to chris knott insurance when my renewal comes through early next month, made the mistake of hopping over to a cheaper provider who has extortionate admin fees." sliced, Audi-Sport.net
"Recently taken a policy out with Chris Knott due to the very competitive quote. I needed to call them to change my reg number as I added my private plate to my car, I braced myself for the "well there's a charge for this and a charge for that" as experienced from other insurance companies, but no! Gave them the new number and that was that, no charge! Well done, credit where it's due!! stchris356, BimmerForums

Do underwriters do different schemes for different brokers??
Yes, it would seem they do. I'm looking into this - we don't like losing business to the same insurer through someone else.
