XPowerForums INSURANCE scheme with CHRIS KNOTT :: 0800 917 2274

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 22 and over for Comprehensive cover and 19+ for TPFT cover, 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, or similar bhp, car. 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.

The minimum premiums are £250 for Comprehensive & £200 for TPFT cover, so please don’t ring if your quote is less than this!

We consistently have a very 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!

Welcome to Xpowerforums Tim, I assume this is the same Tim from EscortEvolution.co.uk?

I know there are a lot of happy customers over on that forum, and Chris Knott insurance gets regularly mentioned in the insurance threads over there when people are looking for renewals.

Shame you still don't do SK and M postcodes, though, as I came from an SK postcode and moved into an M!

I'll keep you guys in mind for later this year when my renewal is due, as it looks like my current insurer won't cover me (again) on my current car!

Hi Tim nice to see you on XPF:)

Please note that we have moved to modern premises in Hastings, East Sussex, specifically designed around the current and future needs of the business and considering the fact that we have taken on quite a few more staff.
The new postal details for Chris Knott Insurance will be:
Chris Knott Insurance
5th Floor
Cavendish House
Breeds Place
Hastings
East Sussex
TN34 3AA

Our quote line number won’t change – you can still call us FREE on 0800 917 2274 for your no-obligation quote – remember to quote your unique club/forum code (mobiles can call 01424 200477).

As well as new premises, we have recently invested heavily in technology that will reduce the amount of paper we use and store. The overall aim of these improvements is to enhance operations and therefore offer members an even better service.

I wouldn't ask for a quote from a company that touts for business on a web site like this.
Try this for Home Office stats and see if you can understand.
This is per 1000 population
Liverpool. Slough. Hastings. National Average.
Violance against
a person. 20.7 30.9 22.9 15
Sexual offences. 0.7 1.4 1.6 .09
Robbery. 2.5 3.8 1.4 1.0
Burglary. 9.5 10.1 8.46 4.3
Theft of a motor
vehicle. 3.8 6.0 3.1 2.6
Theft from . 9.5 21.8 7.5 6.3

Your town is counted as 'high risk' as well so don't be so smug.

Whatever you say you are not going to change the mind of massive insurance companies who consistently have lost money in these areas.

And it's not only us. Just have a look at other forums and you'll see other companies doing the same.

You have the option to get business from wherever you like but this scheme has been so successful for us that we've had to employ 75% more staff in our New Business department and move to larger promises to cope with the growth, and this is coupled with the fact that we are having record weeks.

We are not being smug - just business-like.

We want to help everyone but how about you setting up your own insurance company if you think these companies are so wrong and make it specifically for people in the excluded areas and let me know how you go on?!!!!

Well i wont be getting insurance from your company, I live in the northwest and have no problem with cheap insurance for my modified ZR through the MG owners club!!

By the way dont start spouting off about liverpool and other places with high car crime, and other insurance claims!!!

I think you should keep those facts to yourself and give quotes to any area and either refuse due to a technicality for your areas such as liverpool and the best low crime areas the best quote.

It boils my 2iss sometimes with typical stereo types!!! Its not how to run a business!!!
 
#34 ·
a question was asked and he answered it, its not stereo types its simple maths, the insurance co. get £x million in premiums from a postcode range but has to pay out £x*2 for that postcode, hence they don't want to cover it anymore. People really should remember its not just car theft, which is actually quite cheap to sort (and modern cars are actually quite difficult to steal now), its crashes, that 20 yr old smashing his car into someone will cost a fortune, especially with all the ambulance chasers out there now. If your that hacked off with living in a perceived high risk postcode then move out of it!

:) I did used to work for NU in a forma life, its quite frustrating when people go on about there £200 car costing £1000 to insure, they seem to conveniently forget they are also covering themselves against hitting that £100k ferrari, and the bill for crippling someone etc

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.
