CK@Chris Knott Insurance

No, it's untrue. We can still give you an equivalent introductory discount on your second car - similar to what is on your first - if you are 25+ and had no claims, etc.

I've just checked with the team and none of them remember a call like this. Was it us that you rang?!

Please don't forget to try the 350Z insurance scheme when your renewal is due!

One issue that has arisen is that a few people are saying we haven't called them back. I can assure you we call everyone back without fail!

The only reason we don't manage to speak to people is because either they have gone out, the wrong number has been taken down or, as has been said quite often recently, people don't answer numbers they don't know (& we have numerous telephone numbers) - I even had someone say that to me yesterday!

Our stats show that we only manage to contact 2 out of 10 people on average! It’s frustrating for us as well!

Please feel free to try us again as we would have tried you the same day. (Mondays & Fridays are our most busiest however!).

(I covered for a colleague recently and was given a list of 4 people to ring back for a quote. None responded so, of the 4, I left messages on 2 answer phones, whilst 1 phone just rang & rang & the other was engaged consistently for hours. I checked a week later and at least 3 had not rung us back - I didn't have enough details to check the fourth).

So, if you haven't heard from us within 2 hours, please ring us back!

Hot off the press!

In 2009 so far, we have saved our new customers a recorded average of £60 (£60.10 to be exact!) off their BEST quote, not just their renewal price, but their BEST quote!

In fact, so successful is the scheme that we have taken on additional staff & next week we have a meeting to look at taking on further personnel!

So, if your insurance is due in the next few weeks, please give us a call freephone on 0800 917 2274 (or 01580 752961 if calling by mobile) and don't forget to state the club reference number found either in my signature or in my introductory post when we first set up the scheme. Insurers find that club/forum users are better 'risks' statistically so make sure you mention the club!

Don't forget to check the criteria you must adhere to, e.g. age, etc.

My question is now answered and sorted Tim, hope you are getting a good tan

Thanks Martin.

Now back in Blighty!

No good for me,42-full ncb-8000 miles a year-parked off road-PE post code-had car over a year.£60 off the mark and my access was £250 with "more than". sorry

Sorry to hear that though...

I may be wrong but, from info gleaned from other forums, More Than do not have the same level of cover as our policies so I doubt it will be on a like for like basis. Maybe just check the cover details.

I know this sounds daft but what if like me you garage your car and then one night you don't bother for some reason. Are they going to wriggle out of a claim?

I would say there may be a possiblity of an insurer declining a claim in this instance.

They weren't even in the ball park, in fact their quote was 3 times the price of directlines, even with this so called disscount. Im 35 with 9 years ncb & live in a reasonable area & they quoted me over £1500. PMSL.

Hi Matt

We couldn't do it on the scheme as the car must be off road overnight in your specific postcode. Sorry. (Your postcode is highly rated!).

Can you pm me more details as the scheme is going very well with lots of members signing up so i want to know the reason why we couldn't quote competitively?

Just a quick note to thank those of you who have tried the club insurance scheme.

In March, we have recorded our best ever week for club 'business' - nearly double that of our previous record set in February, which was remarkable in itself! I had to recheck the figures myself!

This is all due to the fact that people on sites like this have rung us & taken out policies. We must be doing something right!

Just to let you know our opening hours are Monday to Friday, 9am till 5pm & Saturday morning, 9am till noon.

(Please don't forget to quote the club scheme reference number when you ring for a quote).

Chris Knott don't cover any postcodes in Liverpool! What a pile of sh1te - so glad I wasted my time on them.

 

Be warned, its not just Liverpool either.

 

 

it is a shame although it does mention that they dont cover these areas on the first post

 

Unfortunately, it excludes all M - Manchester, L - Liverpool, OL - Oldham & SK1-12 - Stockport postcodes and Northern Ireland.

 

It doesn't in the discounts section...

Yes it does! 3 lines above the green banner/sigpic.

Is that for everyone on the policy or just for the main driver? I'm guessing for everyone, which is a shame as my missus is 24yrs and been driving my Zed over a year. Was looking forward to a good deal this year

Sorry, it's all drivers 25 or over.

Will this result in subsequent lower premiums for the over 25's?

It may certainly help in the future but I think the insurers will just see how things go first.

So could it be said that the blacklist is not car specific for everyone, but only car specific for under 25's?

Yes, the 350Z performs very well but not when driven by under 25's. (That's only on this particular scheme, it's not generic!).

The insurers have increased the minimum age to 25 for our insurance scheme due to a high claims loss ratio for performance vehicles driven by the under 25's. You also must have at least 1 year's NCB (unless you have NCB on a second car or a company car letter to state at least 1 year's claim free driving).

We understand that not everyone has claimed in this age category but the insurers are 'playing safe' for future business.

Just phoned today and they declined to offer a quote (even before taking any personal details).

 

Said they had a car black-list delivered from their main policy provider this week (Highway Insurance) and the 350Z is on it.

 

Looks like we've been putting two many into the ditch this year.

Elo Tim,

 

Had the Zed two years this april, when my insurance is due up for renew, do you reckon you could give me a good price/quote, i am 22 years of age though and currently have a multi-car policy as also have a mg zr ?

 

Be good to make a saving , plus helping the 350z-uk forum and there traders as such

Yes, shouldn't be a problem!

in the original post it states that to insure a performance car you must have had at least 1 years experience of driving one, i dont will i not be able to use Chris Knott for my insurance?

 

If you want to insure a performance car but have no experience of driving that or similar, unfortunately not.

How often do you have to drive the car in the first year to be experienced? My missus drives the Zed and hopefully going to insure us both through you next time around, but she doesnt drive my Zed as the main driver. Shes a cracking driver and the fact I let her drive it shows I trust her too. I've had my Zed for about 2yrs now and shes driven it for about 18months, maybe more.

Think you'll be OK.

A GOOD REASON TO PHONE US IF YOUR RENEWAL IS DUE IN MARCH!

March is generally one of the busiest months of the year for car insurance.

There are a few reasons for this -

Firstly, the new car registrations come out so plenty of new cars to insure.

Secondly, this means that people who buy new cars, sell their existing ones which are then bought & insurance is needed for them.

Thirdly, a major insurance company went bust in the early 1970's in March which left a lot of people without insurance meaning they had to get new policies immediately. There were long queues outside brokers with people waiting to get covered! This means that many of the affected, older generation still have March renewal dates!

And on a totally personal level, we have just had our record week since we instigated these forum insurance schemes so we must be doing something right!

Therefore, if your renewal is due in March, please feel free to give us a call and don't forget to mention the club scheme reference number found in my signature below or in my initial post which started this thread.

0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961 if calling by mobile.

I suppose i should give it a go, although 2008 ruined my insurability thanks to 3 points and an accident within the same month Do they cover all mods?

All mods are covered except roll cages & nitrous!

Do you do motorbikes too? My bike insurance is due for renewal in April.....

 

My cars are not due till August though!

Sorry, we don't specialise in bike insurance.

We've had a good start to 2009 already, even better than last year which was an exceptional year for us.

If you're renewal is due in February, please don't forget to ring us and quote the club scheme reference number shown in my signature below!

OK, a bit of an odd one this and I may be worrying for nothing but here goes...

 

If you cease to have an insurance policy for a period of time (for any car) and then take out a new one, does your NCB transfer or is it lost? I'm talking a number of months rather than years.

Generally, you can use it within 2 years.
