ChrisKnottIns 11 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 HiMy apologies for being away from the forums for so long. We have had a few internal changes. March is a very busy month for insurance renewals so please feel free to ring us if your car insurance is due for renewal in the next few weeks.In 2010, we recorded an average saving of 10.5% off our new customers quotes elsewhere and we have just had an extremely good first 2 months of the year – surpassing our target by quite a vast amount! In fact, we were already two thirds to our February target a quarter of the way through the month!It is great to see people ringing us up but we would like every possible person who fits the criteria to at least ring us on the freephone number and hopefully see the benefits that so many other people are seeing.Please phone on 0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477 for mobiles and don’t forget to quote the club reference number found in my signature below.Also, please can you give me your feedback regarding the quote on here as we see so little feedback compared to the number of people who ring us for a quote!The figures show a good number of people ringing but only a handful ever post!

Saunders82 0 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hmm just got refused a quote on a mk2 golf vr6 as the increase in bhp was to much from the original car didn't make much sence to me as it's a 2.8 on the log book has been for 3 years but my engine is modded to approximate 200bhp. Also said because I was 28 not 30 which again I don't understand. However the man Martin was very profressional Link to post Share on other sites

OEM+ 1 Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 hi, why have you got a +50 bhp caping for new customers only this does not make sense to me Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisKnottIns 11 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 It's set by the insurers. I think they felt it would be unfair for this to affect existing customers as they had already insured under the old conditions. Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisKnottIns 11 Posted July 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Please remember to include Chris Knott in the mix when searching for a car insurance quote.For good drivers, we can often beat your best alternative quote when we know what it is - dis-regarding what the system says we should be quoting. That's because our insurer partners trust us and allow us to quote what we need to to get them good quality business.This year so far we're signing up even more forum members than last year so we must be doing something right!"Ian insured with Chris Knott a couple of weeks ago and reported the best deal he's ever had, thanks guys" said Alfanutz admin, Zender156.Call Chris Knotts and we'll find you the best deal based on your individual needs. Alternatively, you can complete brief details at http://www.chrisknott.co.uk/CarQuote and we'll call you back.High for the industry, 78% of Chris Knott's clients are renewing this year too, which means we are pretty consistent in our pricing - not looking to change the rate if the risk is the same as last year.It's true there have been a few comments regarding the length of time it takes for us to answer calls. But we're pleased to say that we've listened to feedback and have now made it easier for you to get through to the quoting team. They were previously handling other types of enquiry but we're now fielding those enquiries to a separate, dedicated team. You should notice a great improvement.Pick up the phone today if you're due in the next few weeks and see how much Chris Knott can save you. Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisKnottIns 11 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 CHRIS KNOTT VIRTUAL SHOW & SHINE (with prizes)Here's a chance for members to show off their cars and their photo skills as we launch the Chris Knott Virtual 'SHOW & SHINE' over on our Facebook page.All you need to do is LIKE our page - Chris Knott Facebook - and post a pic of your car on the page.There's a PRIZE for the winning entry and another one for the best runner up.The WINNER will receive a tasty Nikon D3200 + 18-55mm VR lens kit* worth £370.The best RUNNER UP will win a much coveted 3LT X0a Tim Evolution 2 Magnesium Alloy Tripod* worth £130.The closing date for entries is 31st October 2013 - so 3 months for you to get the creative juices flowing and come up with something if you haven't already got an image to post up.Your car could be stock or modified - there are no restrictions in that regard.Be inventive. Remember, unlike a traditional Show & Shine, this is a photo comp so we will be looking for the 2 photos that show cars off best but please keep it clean (the photo)!!It doesn't have to show the whole of your car - it just needs to have a car in it. Think about location, lighting, angles, etc.The pic can be anything amateur - an Instagram photo, straight camera-phone pic or something a bit more serious and we're happy if you want to use effects.The only stipulation is that it must be your own photo and your own car (not an image nicked off the internet).Have a look at the photos we've added to our FB page and commented on to see the sort of images that we've appreciated in the past.We're really looking forward to seeing your pics as you post them. There's no limit to the number of different photos you can post.Spread the word!*Equivalent value prizes may be substituted if these models are not available at time of judging.

ChrisKnottIns 11 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 UPDATE: Relaxation in CHRIS KNOTT age and experience criteriaThere's really good news for many of the members we've previously had to turn down - we've kept on the case with insurers and have been able to negotiate a relaxation of the age & experience criteria for the club scheme.These are the changes from the old requirements where we had them on certain models:OLD RULES - 25+ with 12 months' experience of the car or one of similar performance.NEW RULES - 25+ with 6 months' experience.OLD RULES - 25+ with 24 months' experience or 30+ if only 12 months' experience.NEW RULES - 25+ with 12 months' experience.OLD RULES - 30+ with 12 months' experience.NEW RULES - 28+ with 12 months' experience.There's still some way to go but it's good that we at least have these concessions.Remember to include us in the mix when looking around for quotes. We're still signing up 40% of quotes offered - there won't be many in the industry that can say that.To find out how much you could save with Chris Knott please call FREE on 0800 917 2274 (or 01424 200477 - cheaper for mobiles) and quote this forum's unique code.

ChrisKnottIns 11 Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 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...

ChrisKnottIns 11 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 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. Link to post Share on other sites
