Credit where it's due - Chris Knott

[Jim 1]

I'm about to change my VR from a daily back to a weekend car and am in the process of sorting out my new car. My original plan was to cancel my Chris Knott policy as I figured as more of a specialist insurer, they'd never be able to compete with more mainstream companies for insurance on normal daily cars.

 

Called up Chris Knott last night and spoke to a really helpful guy who not only quoted me a price that was on a par with the best I'd had from price comparison sites (which I didn't expect), but also told me I'd get a fairly hefty refund as it was much cheaper than I'm paying on the VR and in effect, I've overpaid on my policy.

 

I do get irked with insurance in this country but I have to say I was very pleased with the quote and nothing seems to be too much trouble for CK.. they even said they'd scan and email or fax my insurance certificate to me at short notice for when I go and collect my car tomorrow.

 

It's much appreciated! I'm happy to remain a customer!

my insurance with CK is coming up for renewal too - could i ask who you spoke with as last year they didnt want to budge on the premium? Was almost in two minds at the time...

Don't recall mate.. I just went through to the customer service line and spoke to whoever picked up. Bear in mind I'm dropping from a group 18 car down to something like a group 4 so I'd hope my premium would tumble ;)

 

To be clear this is to insure my NEW car.. the VR is going onto a policy with Footman James!

Are you getting a copy of the insurance cert just for reference in case you get pulled etc?

If it's for taxing, the post office wont accept a scanned or faxed copy..
