Let’s say you recently made a claim on your Car Insurance. The good news is that it's been processed and you’ve received a payout so you can get your vehicle back on the road. However, you may find that paying the excess on your claim means your finances still take a hit. This is where Excess Protection Insurance comes in. With this policy in place, you’ll get your policy excess back – even if you’re at fault. This is a policy that is now open to everyone, even if you don’t have your Car Insurance with us. Here are a few benefits you might like to weigh up: ● Enjoy a full reimbursement of up to £1,000 ● Cover both voluntary and compulsory excesses ● Get speedy reimbursement should there be a delay of 6 or more months in recovering your excess from a third party ● Take advantage of 12 months of protection for your pocket If you’d like to find out more, head over to the Chris Knott Insurance website: https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/motor-insurance/excess-protector/. You can also ask me any questions. Best wishes, Simon

Getting stranded at the side of the road or being late to work because your car won’t start is a surefire way to get the stress levels up. This can be even worse if you don’t have anyone to call for help. This is why we’ve given our Breakdown Cover a bit of a refresh. Working with One Insurance in partnership with The AA, our new protection starts from just £65 per vehicle. Standard Breakdown Cover includes HomeStart, Roadside Assistance, National Recovery and Fault Diagnosis, but if you want a little extra UK cover, or you’re planning to drive in Europe, you can benefit from our extended UK+ and European Cover. This includes Enhanced UK Onward Travel, a Replacement Hire Car and Overnight Accommodation. PLUS if you take out more than one Breakdown policy with us, you can benefit from a discounted rate for your additional cars. To find out more, take a look at our updated website: https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/motor-insurance/breakdown-cover/ You can also drop me a line if you have any questions. Take care, Simon

Hi, From our perspective as a broker, we always recommend talking to your current insurance provider. We have a number of insurance companies on our books and each one would look at this differently. Some would not allow this at all, but the main insurer we use for the Briskoda scheme would simply have us note down when the change of wheels and tyres takes place (no problem if the wheels are different so long as the size is the same). They don't charge either. So it's a mixed bag and therefore definitely worth questioning your insurance provide directly. Hope you manage to get things sorted, and enjoy your new car 🙂 Simon

At Chris Knott Insurance, we’re delighted to be toasting 40 years in business. Our founder, Chris Knott, started the company when he realised that car club members such as yourselves would be viewed as ‘good risks’ from an insurance perspective. He therefore set about creating a business that focused on the needs of particular sectors, such as car owner clubs and forums. We’ve grown since then but we’re still as dedicated to getting competitive premiums for car owners who take pride in their vehicles. And we’re just as committed to giving your club a reward for every policy we sell to its members. If you’d like to find out more about our Car Insurance, we can get you a bespoke quote in just 7.5 minutes. We don’t use call centres and we never work via a script, so you can get all of your options clearly explained to you. If you’d like to get a quote, try giving us a call on 0800 819 9320. You can also ask me any questions you have by posting a comment here. Best wishes, Simon

Hi, Unfortunately insurance premiums have increased massively over the last 12months, this is a cross all lines of business (Motor, Household etc). It is mainly as a result of repair costs, materials and labour costs. As always, we would love the opportunity to provide you with a quote, we can try to match or beat your online quotes OR discount your renewal. Feel free to give the team a call: tel:08009172274 or visit our website: Briskoda Owners Club : Chris Knott Insurance Many thanks.

Milton is so good we've cloned him! 😆 Glad you've had a good experience. Simon

We know that hanging around on the phone for ages listening to awful hold music is never enjoyable. It can be even more frustrating if you then have to go through a scripted conversation with someone in a call centre. That’s why, at Chris Knott Insurance, we believe in the personal touch. When you give us a call, you’ll get through to our team in less than 3 minutes. You’ll then be able to have a friendly chat with one of our qualified brokers where you’ll be free to ask as many questions you like! This means that you can be completely confident about the insurance offered for your prized motor. On average, you walk away with a quote in as little as 7.5 minutes. If you decide to go ahead, you can enjoy an exclusive competition-beating premium and get a kick-back reward for your club. It’s a win-win! If you have any other questions, feel free to chat to me or take a look at our webpage on Owners Club Insurance: https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/motor-insurance/owners-club-insurance/ All the best, Simon

Hi, As a broker with lots of insurers to choose from, we often find that it's often more cost effective to keep the vehicles on separate policies. Bonus can often be mirrored if a particular vehicle doesn't have any bonus and some might be suitable for a classic policy where bonus is not required. We are happy to talk through those options with you. We are able to offer multi-car but it often doesn't work out to be the best option. Feel free to call us on 0800 917 2274 or complete our webform https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/motor-insurance/car-insurance-quote/ if you would like to discuss the options.

Our reviews speak for themselves… “I've been using Chris Knott brokers for the last few years now and can honestly say it's great to still have a service where you can pick up the phone and speak to them regarding any matter and receive a quick no wait response. The cost of insuring my vehicles through them compared to online search companies has been roughly the same, but the level of service is unbeatable in my opinion. They keep you regularly up to date with new services or changes in the law of car insurance and everything is clear and precise and I'm more than happy to suggest this company to my family and friends. I've been insured with many companies in the past as I am now in my mid 40s but truly they are far better than cheaper internet search companies.”

Hi, Generally speaking, you can't insure something that you don't own. With that in mind it would be best to see if more drivers can be added to the current policy, temporary or otherwise. There may issues including restrictions on the overall number of drivers, but this is a good place to start. Hope you manage to arrange something. Chris Knott Insurance.

Hi, We're happy to quote on this vehicle, despite the mismatch. If you mention the discrepancy when you call us, we will be able to quote for a manual vehicle and override the gearbox as shown on the DVLA reg. look up so that your policy is correct. 0800 917 2274 Hope that helps. Simon

Hi, Thanks for your comments. As a broker, we certainly want to be transparent and simplifying the process is something we're keen to do.

Our aim being to publish some articles that cover topics raised by forum members here and elsewhere. Thanks again for taking the time to respond to this request. Simon

Hi, Thanks for your question. I'm sure this is a common question amongst the members here, in fact all consumers. We are going to include this in a feature we are writing on how premiums are calculated as there are number of other points of a similar nature that need to be addressed. Regarding you own insurance, please consider us when you look at alternatives, we'd love to help, if we can. Regards, Simon

Hi, I agree with Dan, and we don't have any Insurers who offer a zero excess. We also find that a number of people get caught out by the whole voluntary excess side of things. It is not unusual for us to see that the compulsory excess has been missed when we are verifying best quote details. As long as you are aware (it sounds like you are) that both voluntary and compulsory excesses can exist, and you check these amounts, you should be ok. If we can help with a quote at this time, please feel free to call us. 0800 917 2274 Simon

Our advice would be to contact your insurance company to notify them of the incident. If you have details of the third party Insurer (the Insurer your company use) then pass those details on. Your insurer should be able to take care of the rest for you. If the incident is settled as a non-fault incident then it will not impact your no Claims Bonus.

Hi Matthew, Insurance for younger drivers is not something we specialise in, however, we do have a small number of Insurers who will allow young drivers to be named on your policy. The other alternative (which it looks like you have already explored) would be to go to someone like we are Marmalade who have a range of options for younger drivers. This is a good short term solution for his needs and likely to be the most cost effective. As soon as possible (and affordable!) the best option is for your son to have a policy in his name (some Insurers will insist that the vehicle is registered in his name) so that he is able to build his own no claims bonus. Once he has a couple of years under his belt along with experience driving on the roads, we would then be able to take a look at providing him with a quotation. Hope that helps. Chris Knott Insurance
