Hi to all!

This forum have been in discussion with ourselves about an insurance scheme for registered users on here. We are glad to say that we have signed the deal so I'd just like to introduce myself & our company!

Chris Knott Insurance - http://www.chrisknott.co.uk - have been involved with car clubs for over 20 years so hopefully we'll understand your needs & requirements!

The scheme is for both standard and modified cars with cosmetic changes and bhp increases by no more than 50bhp.

It starts for ages 30 and over, and you must have at least 1 year's NCB – no introductory discounts are allowed.

All drivers must have held a full UK licence for at least 1 year, and to insure a 'performance' car, there must be at least 1 years experience of driving that car or one of an identical group. Unfortunately, the scheme is not competitive on all M - Manchester, L - Liverpool, OL - Oldham & SK1-12 - Stockport postcodes, and excludes Northern Ireland.

No more than 1 SP/PC/PL conviction offence per driver and no fault claims in the last 12 months.

We consistently have a high renewal retention rate meaning that people renew with us because of our constantly competitive insurance premiums & experienced, reliable customer and claims service. That is why we can promote this insurance scheme knowing that we are in it for the long term.

I'll view the site regularly and try to answer any queries that you have also.

In the meantime, please feel free to call the New Business Team when you receive your renewal through. A dedicated team, with years of experience, is waiting for your call! (I personally don't do the quotes).


0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477 (if phoning by mobile) & please don't forget to quote the reference found in my signature below and the club name!

Hi
Sorry, all drivers must have had a full licence for 1+ years on the scheme (and also it is not competitive in L postcodes).
 
What is your policy on mods and trackdays? My current insurer is very good with mods and insures on a like for like basis. Trackdays are also an option on the policy for comprehensive cover on track. I satisfy the other criteria :)

Hi
We cover all mods (on a like for like basis) except roll cages/stripped out and nitrous.

We can recommend a company who provides track day cover though we don't offer it ourselves.

Thats great Tim, I'll be in touch when my renewal is due :) not for a while yet tho
 
I’ve been asked quite a few times recently how to get an insurance quote from us.

All you need to do is either ring the office please on 0800 917 2274 (or 01424 200477 if calling from a mobile) – Mon-Fri 9am till 5pm, Sat 9am till noon and state the club name and if possible the reference number (found in my signature below) - or use the email quote facility found on this forum.

I don’t personally do the quotes as I spend a lot of my time travelling the country on business and work from home also.
We have a specialist team who will be able to help you.

Also, please don't forget the popular car breakdown cover at £54.50 for full UK cover – please see http://www.ckinsurance.co.uk/docs/ChrisKnottBreakdown.pdf and the instant, online travel insurance quotes - http://www.ckinsurance.co.uk/travel

And if you need home insurance then http://www.ckinsurance.co.uk/docs/ChrisKnottHomeInsurance.pdf!

Thanks.
 
Please don't forget to try us if your car insurance renewal is due in July.
(Last week was our 2nd best ever in terms of business from the forums!)

0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477 - please don't forget to mention the club name and/or reference number found in my signature.
 
Why cant the FC cover start from age 21 :(

I may have a look next year for a quote (wish I was old enough!) Ive heard some good figures being discussed...
 
Ahhh I got excited, untill I read it doesn't cover Northern Ireland!

Do insurance companies not realised that the majority of us stopped playing with petrol bombs about 12years ago! :)

I guess I'll have to stick with the circus that is Quinn Direct.
 
no good if you've been made redundant either, unemployed people cant even get a quote :(
 
when i rang i told them i had an interview the following week. i got the job but i needed insurance there and then so its done now,
 
Just a quick apology for those who tried our New Business team on Monday but didn't get through.

We were absolutely manic - good for business - but it didn't help those who couldn't get a quote.
(Claims & Customer Service depts were unaffected).

We are back to normal now so please ring us if you're car/home/car breakdown insurance is due in July.
 
Interesting how liverpool and manchester (as well as NI) are no - goes for insurance companies....some are happy to insure you allbiet paying a small fortune (as i am now discovering, great for buying houses cheap as chips, but not in insurance) and others clearly dont want to know......

do insurance companies really believe the stigma's associated with various cities?
