Great news for this forum's members - the insurers on our panel are hungry for your business at the moment. They're backing us as we exploit our special car club/forum members scheme to quote what we need to in order to win your business (as long as you fit our usual criteria detailed below).

On Friday night we'd already reached 35% of this month's target in just the first 4 working days of the month!

*****************
Here's feedback posted on our Facebook page on Friday alone:

"A great company who care and find the best policies to suit you! Can't recommend them highly enough." Ray Fitchett, Facebook

"Great deal for our car insurance - thanks." Helen Pengelly, Facebook

"Great service from Chris Knott Insurance. Been with them for years and highly recommended, always gets the best car insurance for me." Willie McBey, Facebook

"It is a good indication of the level of service I received last year, when I have not even looked at any other provider and will be renewing with Chris Knott next week. First rate service plus unbeatable value - it's kind of unusual this day and age." Peter Robinson, Facebook

"Thanks for a great price on my car insurance!" Shirley McGreal, Facebook

To find out how much you could save with Chris Knott, please call us on 0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477 and mention this forum to receive the full benefit.

What does this post actually mean? If I've been quoted more than £200 does it mean that you'll try and insure for £200?

Think it means that if you've been quoted over £200 then it might be worth giving them a call .. Depending on your age, driving experience, etc

If you've been quoted less than £200 we're less likely to beat your quote because there's not much lower we can go. If you've been quoted over £200 we have more wiggle room so would have more options available to us under the flexible pricing of our special club scheme.

Give us a call, put us to the test.

I've just insured our 3 cars with Chris Knott and they saved me nearly £200 on the Aviva renewal figure. More importantly the service was great. Spoke to a lady called Kathy and she was really helpful.
Worth a try!

We'd love it if every member included us in the mix when getting quotes. Why not try us - it's a free call from a landline.

I just have one query... I called on Thurs last week to get a quote as my Conv ins was renewing and thought I would support you guys as you support us.

My car has very minimal mods (none increase power), I do less than 5k per year and have 9 years protected NCD. I also live in a low crime area, plus I'm the wrong side of 40 but you still quoted me over £300.

Needless to say you didn't beat my renewal price and I renewed with my current insurer... I'm just confused how with your claims on this thread that you couldn't beat my renewal especially taking all my risks into account ?

pm me if you wish.

Thanks

Craig

Hi, without knowing your full name and postcode I can't comment on your specific quote but if we couldn't beat your quote there will be a solid underwriting reason.

- - - Updated - - -

Wow, what a great response to our 'quoted more than £200?' post above - thank you to all those who've asked us to quote so far.

As a broker we're the offline version of price comparison websites - and we often beat their rates by assessing you as an individual. Why not give us a call even if you normally prefer to get your quotes online? Give us the chance to help you save some money.

These guys have benefited from picking up the phone in the last few days:

********************************************

"All credit where due. I PM’d Nick my number, got a call shortly thereafter and got a quote that well and truly beat the best I’d found, so well done." drmw, Mercedes-Benz Owners forum

"I've just insured our 3 cars with Chris Knott and they saved me nearly £200 on the Aviva renewal figure. More importantly the service was great. Spoke to a lady called Kathy and she was really helpful. Worth a try!" weefossy, New Mini Scotland forum

"Well I phoned Chris Knott Insurance. My renewal [elsewhere] was £602 (lot more expensive than last year) down to £335. So very happy. Cheers." marksimy72, TalkFord.com

"Spoke to Kim about getting a quote for my ST before the weekend who was extremely polite and very easy to talk to on the phone and also listened to everything I had to say and gave a very good price, with Europe cover for 90days, handy as off to Eurodisney soon... ...Not like some companies who seem to just try and get a quote out as quick as possible while not listening." Chiffs, Focus ST Owners Club

"@Chris_Knott_Ins thanks for the cheap cover! Much better policy and £150 cheaper than anywhere else." @Rich_UTM, Twitter
(Please follow us on Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/Chris_Knott_Ins)

and then this came in on Facebook overnight:

"Had to comment on the always excellent service from Chris Knott, you insure all 4 of my Volvo's, (from Classic to relatively modern), and always the best price and service. In fact for the most recent purchases I haven't even bothered getting other quotes - I know you'll be the best! Special thanks to Rebecca who has done the last 2 cars for me - brilliant service and always a pleasure to deal with on the phone. Keep up the good work - and thanks again." Graeme Aiken, Facebook

We really enjoy our jobs, trying to help car club/forum members get the best deal :)

Hi, just to let you know I'm away for a couple of weeks so I won't be able to reply to posts or PMs but I'll be back on 18/8.

In the meantime, please continue to call us for quotes. We've had a brilliant July and it's all down to car club/forum members like you picking up the phone.

Online v Phone
We know many of you like to get your quotes online but we're able to beat the price comparison sites if we can talk to you - we get a better feel for you over the phone and we can ask different questions to manually decide whether you're a good risk to take on and at what price. This benefits you far more than a simple "computer says yes, computer says no" scenario.

Pick up the phone and ask us to quote (Tel: 0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477) - you'll be glad you did when we beat your best quote (which we currently do for almost 50% of all callers).

Multi-car households
If you have multi-car policies with the likes of Admiral, we can compete with these too. Those companies typically only have their own products to sell. We have access to a whole range of insurers and can pick the most appropriate one for each individual vehicle but still give you the benefit of a single renewal date and a single point of contact - call Chris Knott Insurance for your quote today.

Past experience
It may be that you've asked us to quote in the past and we weren't able to help. If that's the case it's definitely worth calling us again when your renewal falls due. With postcode relaxations and changes to driver age requirements in the last 12 months there's a good chance that we've dealt with whatever was preventing us from winning your business last time. And if price was the issue, please don't miss out on this one thing - we currently have insurers queuing up at our door for good, clean, car club/forum member drivers and they'll support us in doing whatever it takes to win the right cases.

You all know what insurance is like. Today's low rates may start to rise again tomorrow. Let's both make hay while the sun shines!

Give us a call on 0800 917 2274 / 01424 200477 and mention this forum to see how much we can save you.

See you in a couple of weeks.

best regards,
Nick

"Just want to say a huge thanks for the service you guys have provided so far. The exhaust mod has been added free of charge. Really pleased with how you operate." raymondbowon, FocusSTOC.com

UPDATE: CHRIS KNOTT MONTHLY PRIZE DRAW

Hi, I'm back from hols and glad to be available to answer queries again.

July turned out to be a really good month so thanks for supporting Chris Knotts if you called for a quote.

Remember that if you've been quoted more than £200 you should call us as there's a good chance we can beat it.

**CHRIS KNOTT MONTHLY PRIZE DRAW to see the year out**
Each month until the end of the year we'll be offering a different prize in our monthly draw. So, ask us for a car quote during September and you could WIN a Karcher Pressure Washer - perfect for doing a good job of cleaning your car (or driveway/patio/decking, etc).

Simply call us on 0800 917 2274 or 01424 200477 for your free quote and we'll automatically enter you for the draw.

We hope this will encourage more of you to at least give us a try when your renewal falls due. Our rates are currently the best that they've been for a long time and we know they have to speak for themselves but this is an extra incentive for you to pick up the phone.

We look forward to talking to you.

An abundance of Chris Knott CAR Insurance Testimonials in the last few days:

"Got a very good deal on my insurance and excellent service too... Thanks guys & gals!" evom3z4, Z4 forum

"Been with my insurer since time began. All of a sudden, it was time for me to 'worry dear' - Mountuning my ST suddenly caused issues for them - had to explain e.v.e.r.y. word - 'No, it's an ABI code, not an API code - and no the code doesn't increase performance itself, it's.....' Spoke to Rebecca at Chris Knott - polite, knowledgable, professional. 5 minute call, fully insured, nice amount of money saved too - STOC membership back quite a few times over. Chris Knott - money saved, no crawling over broken glass required. Nice one, thank you." 340bhp, FiestaSTOC.com

"Pleasing to speak to a fellow human being at Chris Knott. Tesco renewal invite at £250 prompted a wee check with the meercats with a range generally well below this. Phoned Tesco to ask if they could do anything but sadly & unfortunately no. After reading the Forum comments tried Chris Knott who came up with quote around £185 all in with £100 XS so have made the switch." kingfisher4, Dacia Forum

"So much easier to deal with, I even took out a multicar policy. everything is set out and clear as day with a very polite team on the phone." STGeege, Fiesta STOC

"Just purchased a policy from Chris Knott - spoke to a gent named Paul Channer - was absolutely down to earth, straight forward and quoted me HAPPY.. He catered for my needs and was very understanding and helpful. Would defo recommend to all !! Once again Thank you." Harry-vr6, the-corrado.net

"Wifey bought herself a nice 2.0 Mk IV Mondeo estate today & the quote from Chris Knott beat the comparison sites again, just like they've done for me the last 2 years running. £135 cheaper than her current insurer & cheaper than the cheapest deal on Go Compare, with a better level of cover. The staff even stayed late to call me back so I could get temporary insurance to pick the car up tonight - otherwise we would have had to delay picking the car up. Can't believe how good they are!" Brycie, VWAudiForum

"After literally going grey looking at the premiums, I gave Chris Knott a call. Martin was excellent and managed to undercut my lowest quote by a shed load! Saved me £170 A MONTH on my renewal." Fletch26, Hyundai Coupe Owners Club

"Used Chris Knott Ins today - so nice to talk to someone who knows what they are saying inside out and saved me money." hawkster, Hyundai Coupe Owners Club
