I'm at home but I've got an LV= policy wording here and there's no exclusion for bad weather. Why do you think you wouldn't be covered, especially as you've checked your policy wording? best, Nick

Of course the ultimate telling would be if I have to make a claim but so far so good and nothing to complain about." San R, Trustpilot "Perfect customer relations by real people in an office, not a call centre, made the transaction feel personal and it is indeed rare nowadays to find this quality treatment of a new customer." Sidney B, Trustpilot "If it hadn't been for the difficulty getting to talk to somebody this would have been a 5* rating... Fifth time lucky and yes we were talking to a very nice young lady who dealt with me in a very professional manner and actually called me back as she said she would. Once you get to talk to a body they are very helpful, definitely will be dealing with them again in the future..." James E, Trustpilot "Just renewed again with Chris Knott. Thanks again for providing a good quote. Not quite the cheapest this year but still the best value for money." The Panda Nut, Fiat Forum *mean average saving £46.06 against members' invited renewal premiums elsewhere, where disclosed, 01/01/20 to 31/12/20.

If you're gathering data for the uninsured losses, the claim hasn't been settled. Until liability is agreed and final settlement made, it will be classed as open.

If you've got a claim open it's unlikely we'd be able to offer a price I'm afraid. Have you considered using a comparison site for that, err, comparison?

I have it on both my vehicles (one 11 years and one 15 years old) and although I thankfully have only had to use them once, they were absolutely fantastic. And at a much better price than the 'big brands' too!" robt100, Briskoda.net *£57.75 is rounded to nearest whole £ = £58

Well that'll be down to the individual insurers, rather than us as a broker. Last time it was only Admiral and DL giving a flat £25 rebate. This was seen by commentators as more of a marketing effort than a refund for the reduced RTA risk, otherwise why a flat £25? Your fire, theft and vandalism risk (especially if the vehicle hasn't moved) is not reduced during a lockdown. The insurers we use instead offered to cover, as standard, the increased mileages of essential key workers and volunteer drivers. Of course, if your insurer does start offering refunds we'll be sure to pass those along.

James Fawcett, Trustpilot

Folks, I can't speak for YOUR insurers but the policies we issue (for insurers who include LV=) don't have any such exclusion. I too saw an article on this in the press and it seemed to be an excuse for the 'expert' they cited to get their name in the paper. They didn't add any substance to the headline beyond a recommendation that you check with your insurer. There were no examples of anyone being refused cover or claim payout and the main thrust of the article was about what was essential travel and how much the fines were. The only useful thing they said was that if you cancel your cover for lockdown, make sure the car isn't parked on the road as you could be prosecuted for that. If I hear anything different in the coming days I'll post it here. best, Nick

Hi, the club’s preferred insurance provider Chris Knott Insurance offers breakdown cover for vehicles of any age. See our post in the Insurance section about our current offer. best, Nick

The first lockdown proved that our systems coped very well with having staff working from home. In fact, customer feedback suggested you didn't even notice any difference in service, which is great. As we move into this second national lockdown from Thursday we just want to assure you that we're ready and it is still BUSINESS AS USUAL. In fact, we're announcing TWO NEW OFFERS as we approach the end of the year... *** DISCOUNTED BREAKDOWN COVER FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR As we enter the season of cold starts we figured you might be considering Breakdown Cover to protect your cars - and your loved ones as they carry out any essential travel. To help you, we're offering 12 months' comprehensive UK Breakdown Cover for roughly the price of 11 (£5 OFF) if you buy anytime during the rest of 2020. There are different discounts built-in for multi-car households too. Normally £63 for a single vehicle, on top of the usual breakdown features such as Recovery and Overnight Stay etc, Chris Knott's cover includes HomeStart, flat batteries, running out of fuel, lost or broken keys and accidental tyre damage - all as standard. You can get a quote and buy online using promo code SANTA226 or you can call us to arrange cover.

Chris Knott Insurance was able to offer me a superior level of cover for my Alfa GT, compared to my previous insurers, with a saving of almost 30%. I will definitely be in touch with them again when my contents insurance is due for renewal and my wife's car insurance too, as they offer multi vehicle cover."

Some insurers include a length of ownership discount in their rating calculations. If you switch to a new vehicle that factor is removed. That insurer MAY also have seen higher claims frequency or costs on that new model which could also skew the premium.

An insurance assessor would only ever look at the VIN at point of total loss claim - there'll be nothing noted on your policy itself showing options prior to that.

You chose them as factory options or you had them done after the purchase? If they're factory options I think I'm right in saying they should be listed against the VIN number, so insurers would know what you had on the vehicle. You'd use the invoice value as the value for insurance purposes. On Glass's Guide there's an option to add the options and that inflates the value from standard for checking.
