We're so confident you'll like it too that you can try it risk-free for 30 days. 100% money back guarantee During that time, if you decide for whatever reason it doesn't meet your needs, as long as you haven't made a claim you can request a full refund. THE KEY BENEFITS: - Top-up your motor insurance payout in the event of a total loss claim - Get back to the original invoice price or settle any outstanding finance/lease (whichever is greater) - For cars (and commercial vehicles under 3,500kg) upto 10 years old/100,000 miles - Covers vehicles valued right up to £180,000 - Unlimited claims coverage on cars upto £50,000 - 5-star Defaqto rating - the highest level possible - PCP/Contract Hire/Lease Hire - all acceptable - 30-day cooling-off period - Upto £250 of your motor excess refunded - Arrange cover upto 100 days after vehicle purchase Get a quote and buy online: https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/GAP You'll also get your money back if there is no gap following a total loss... That's right, you'll receive a full premium refund if your car is written-off or stolen and there's no shortfall between your motor insurer's payout and the invoice purchase price. This could arise, for example, where you buy a heavily discounted vehicle and the total loss comes before the vehicle has depreciated enough to create a gap.

More members set to benefit from Chris Knott service... Hi, Insurers have relaxed their rules under our car clubs and enthusiasts offering which means we should be able to help more of you get a better car insurance deal. We'll still be applying common sense to our quotes but there'll no longer be hard and fast minimum driver age restrictions on models. Instead we'll be assessing risks on a case by case basis - looking for relevant driver and vehicle experience. The Chris Knott scheme via this forum rewards safer drivers and we think there are more of you on the car club and enthusiasts scene than anywhere else in the UK. All drivers must have held a full UK licence for at least 3 years and have 2 years NCB to use (gained on the quoted vehicle or another that can be mirrored across inc. company car). We can now quote if you've had a fault claim as long as it was at least 12 months ago. Even if you have had a fault claim in the last 12 months, if the cost was under £2k we can still help. If you can comply with these few criteria, there's a strong chance that Chris Knott will be your best option for car insurance this year. Please put us to the test by calling 0800 917 2274 for a quote when your renewal falls due. Don't forget to mention this club/forum which will be your ticket to accessing this special car clubs and enthusiasts scheme. Alternatively, you can complete contact details at https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/CarQuote/?ref=crit19 and we'll call you. best, Nick

Winter Tyres and Chris Knott Hi, I'm often asked on club forums (and Facebook groups) about switching to winter wheels/tyres and whether an insurer will charge extra if you do. As it's getting to that time of year again I thought I'd just reassure any Chris Knott clients that the insurers we use don't usually charge for this. However, if you are thinking of swapping your wheels we do have to log when you make the switch and then again when you go back to normal - so please let us know on 0800 917 2274. Thanks, Nick *** *** *** FEEDBACK "Been with them for years now. I check about every year but so far the best price, understanding of simple mods / winter wheels and cust service has been there every time. Very happy so far." Joanna Cole, New Mini Scotland "Excellent service when arranging insurance for 2 cars. As much as possible is done by email which is efficient..." Julian P, TrustPilot "Quick, simple and always matching prices with trustworthy insurances." Carla, TrustPilot "First class service. Cannot fault any of the service given, highly recommended." Paul H, TrustPilot "Continuing my annual insurance search, Chris Knott have beaten my (already cheap) renewal by 10% but I’m getting some really outrageous quotes. Most north of £500 and a few into 4 figures!" Steve Ingall, Alfabook

I wasn't happy with my Admiral renewal (even after haggling it down) and after quick Money Supermarket comparison I could see that there were between 10-15 companies all coming back with prices (up to £110) less than Admiral. Cheap quotes are one thing but level of service and protection is also important. I know that a £285 quote isn't going to include like for like mod cover and legal expenses but it does show that there was room for a better price with someone somewhere so I found a bit of time and decided to speak to the specialists. My first session of form-filling and a (chase) call to another of STOC's recommended Insurers was a fruitless exercise. Before even running a quote they told me that if I'd been quoted £400 to insure a MK7 ST by someone else, that I should snap their arm off as they'd be unable to come close to that considering my age and the required mileage (soon to be 30 and 12k) and that "The MK7 ST is the most stolen car they'd ever insured!", sure the guy was polite and made pleasant conversation even telling me he has a MK7 himself (wonder who he’s insured with?!), but with that attitude to business they shan’t be hearing from me again! Undeterred and following the other glowing reviews on here and elsewhere, I filled in my details with Chris Knott. Later I got a call back from Ian and the difference was night and day. He was incredibly helpful as we went through all the details, he even seemed surprised that I'd been asked to declare the optional extras and even the trivial bits like a gearknob with Admiral but said for peace of mind he'd list them on their system despite it having no weighting on the quote. Eventually he came back with a quote of £355, I was more than happy with that (just for the fact it includes like for like cover alone). He even made a note to allow me to add the private plate that my wife wants to buy me for my birthday (a few days after my renewal) without any admin fees. Totally satisfied not only do I feel confident that my car is properly covered (always a grey area with mainstream insurers and modded cars) but I've saved money (even compared to last year's premium) and will definitely be giving them a call when the wife's renewal is due in November!" BLiTZ, Fiesta ST Owners Club

Knowing that it was due in March, I waited for my renewal notice to arrive, then called both CKI and ****. CKI were very fast with their quote and it instantly beat my renewal." Blackie_X, GT86/BRZ Owners Club "I use Chris Knott for my supercharged V8 400bhp Jag and pay less than your S*** quote and I live in Birmingham." payno, BimmerForums "A happy customer. I recently contacted Chris Knott for the first time. The premium quoted was £200 less than what my existing insurer wanted. I had both cars insured with the existing company on separate policies, so there was no reward for loyalty. I went ahead and insured the Z4 through Chris Knott. The process was handled by a lady called Kim who was pleasant and relaxed throughout and did not use hard sell tactics. Everything was processed promptly before my existing policy expired. I am a satisfied customer." oldgit, Z4 Forum "I'm into my 2nd year with them and have no complaints." Mr Tidy, Z4 Forum

Test Drives Unlimited, GT86/BRZ Drivers Club "I have just changed my insurance over to Chris Knott. Had been with my previous insurer for 5 years. Chris Knott knocked £50 off my renewal which my old insurer wouldn't price match. Great customer service from Tabitha who provided my quote then Ian who processed the quote when I went ahead. Would recommend to anyone to give these guys a try." J306TD, BimmerForums "Good people to deal with." Hamish M, TrustPilot "Very helpful. My phone call was answered quickly and I didn't have to go through too much button pressing!" Jill T, TrustPilot "Kim was excellent, honest and beat the best quote I got online.

On a free day it took no time to call these guys. Spoke to some friendly member of staff who gave me a quote beating everyone else with my mods after a few mins. Was a great service so definite thumbs up." domhart10, Volvo OC "I have been with Chris Knott for several years (had 1 year elsewhere for all my sins) and I have never had 1 issue with them.

I just wanted to highlight a product in the Chris Knott range that will benefit some members when buying a new or nearly new car. Chris Knott GAP Cover is important if you'd like to replace your car with another one at the original value following a total loss claim. Highly competitive, this protection is likely to be vastly cheaper than your car dealer's equivalent offering. What is Chris Knott GAP cover? You may have heard of Finance GAP or Return To Invoice (RTI) GAP but Chris Knott's GAP is a combination of the best of both those worlds... In the event of a total loss, your motor insurer will only pay you the market value of your vehicle at the time of the loss. However, you may have outstanding finance owing on the vehicle which is greater than that market value. In any case you'll get back less than you paid for, or owe, on the vehicle. This insurance covers you for 3 years and pays you the difference between your motor insurer's payout and the outstanding finance amount OR the net purchase invoice price (WHICHEVER IS GREATER) so you can buy another car for the original value. Low cost, high value Cover starts at just £117.85 for 3 year's cover - that's about £39 per year for great peace of mind. Even a £50,000 vehicle only costs £216.22! Get a quote See how affordable Chris Knott GAP Cover could be for you at https://www.chrisknott.co.uk/GAP/?ref=clubs or call us on 0800 917 2274. best, Nick PS. Cover must be arranged within the first 90 days of ownership but is available for all vehicles less than 8 years old with less than 80,000 miles on the clock. *** GAP Testimonials "I've been with Chris Knott for quite a few years including both the XE and the previous XF, plus my other runabouts. Also insured modified cars with them in the past with no hassle. Got my GAP insurance through CKI as it was a lot cheaper than Jaguar's own quote and others, too. They've always been the best for service, speed and price..." Pete McK, JagInfo "Just a quick one, covered my ST earlier with Chris Knott's GAP Insurance...it took me 5 minutes for a quote online and about 10 minutes on the phone to finalise. The lady I spoke to was great and managed to answer everything I asked..." titchytom86, FiestaST OC

Thanks." domhart10, Volvo Owners Club "I had my renewal notice from my existing insurer yesterday, nearly choked on my coffee when I saw the amount!! I then tried the usual comparison site exercise and secured some cheaper options online as expected, mostly from companies I'd never heard of which always worries me! I then rang Ian at Chris Knott about the VOC Insurance offers and was very pleasantly surprised with his helpfulness and efforts in securing an amazing price for my V90. I reckon he's saved me around £500 on my original renewal shock, using a 'household name' insurance company too. Definitely worth giving Chris Knott a try!" cassell, Volvo Owners Club "That time of year again! Got my renewal quote from Chris Knott, not the cheapest this time, renewal came in at £435, cheapest online was £390 with esure. Rang Chris Knott, they waived the admin fee, and applied my recommend a friend discount, and new renewal came to £401, not that far from the cheapest but I'm not going to quibble over £11. This will be the fourth year with the same insurer!" Imran, VWAudiForum "I had to ring and inform my Insurer about the new tow bar. A call to the firm took me 42 seconds from start to finish. It was stress free and the service was faultless. It really proved that all this data protection stuff spouted by some other places can be done without stressing everyone out and all the better for it. I hope I never have a claim to try the service to the full, but up to now I am hugely impressed with the service, the price and the cover provided. WELL DONE and my thanks!" The Panda Nut, FiatForum "Great company to be with and are very helpful I can recomend CK to anyone." sub, FiestaSTOC

"Can't beat Chris Knott. Better than the muppets at xxxxxx xxxx." Raiden, Audi-Sport forum "I've been using Chris Knott for the last few years and have been very pleased with their service.

Lowe, GT86/BRZ Drivers Club "It's insurance time so this year called Chris Knott - beat all other quotes and saved me just over £200 (which is more than 35%) on what I was quoted as a renewal. All mods declared - got to be happy with that! — feeling happy." Simon Davies, Hyundai Coupe Owners Club "I'm covered by these guys on both my cars. Top work." steveukv6, VX220org "Thanks Nick, I found an address and sent it off last night, had a call from Kathy today, very good service, Kathy sorted out a couple of things for me and came up with a quote over £70 less than the previous broker who gave appalling customer service back in the summer."

Goodluckmonkey, TypeAccord "I just took insurance out with yourselves on the 2nd, you were cheaper than all the comparison sites with a better level of cover. Thanks." Daz6, Type-R Owners forum "I was with CK last year and the renewal for this year is only £30 more. I will stay with them again as the ones on the comparison sites were more and that was without their added legal cover, courtesy car, etc." Stev 1550, UKSaabs "Used these guys on and off for years. Great personal service. They actually take an interest in your experience of similar cars to what you are insuring with them, ensuring your premium is fair. Better still, you can go back and haggle. They have beaten every alternative quote I put in front of them. UK based, polite and helpful, this alone goes a long, long way. Refreshing common sense insurance in a world of grief and headache." Tom Merriott "Just renewed insurance with Chris Knott. Had gone up £65 from last year, but got them to knock £25 off so £345 fully comp with the wife on. Thanks." elevensies, Z4 Forum
