Been quoted more than £200?

[ChrisKnottIns]

Great news for this forum's members - the insurers on our panel are hungry for your business at the moment. They're backing us as we exploit our special car club/forum members scheme to quote what we need to in order to win your business (as long as you fit our usual criteria detailed below).

On Friday night we'd already reached 35% of this month's target in just the first 4 working days of the month!

*****************
Here's feedback posted on our Facebook page on Friday alone:

"A great company who care and find the best policies to suit you! Can't recommend them highly enough." Ray Fitchett, Facebook

"Great deal for our car insurance - thanks." Helen Pengelly, Facebook

"Great service from Chris Knott Insurance. Been with them for years and highly recommended, always gets the best car insurance for me." Willie McBey, Facebook

"It is a good indication of the level of service I received last year, when I have not even looked at any other provider and will be renewing with Chris Knott next week. First rate service plus unbeatable value - it's kind of unusual this day and age." Peter Robinson, Facebook

"Thanks for a great price on my car insurance!" Shirley McGreal, Facebook

Wow, what a great response to our 'quoted more than £200?' post above - thank you to all those who've asked us to quote so far.

As a broker we're the offline version of price comparison websites - and we often beat their rates by assessing you as an individual. Why not give us a call even if you normally prefer to get your quotes online? Give us the chance to help you save some money.

These guys have benefited from picking up the phone in the last few days:

********************************************

"All credit where due. I PM’d Nick my number, got a call shortly thereafter and got a quote that well and truly beat the best I’d found, so well done." drmw, Mercedes-Benz Owners forum

"I've just insured our 3 cars with Chris Knott and they saved me nearly £200 on the Aviva renewal figure. More importantly the service was great. Spoke to a lady called Kathy and she was really helpful. Worth a try!" weefossy, New Mini Scotland forum

"Well I phoned Chris Knott Insurance. My renewal [elsewhere] was £602 (lot more expensive than last year) down to £335. So very happy. Cheers." marksimy72, TalkFord.com

"Spoke to Kim about getting a quote for my ST before the weekend who was extremely polite and very easy to talk to on the phone and also listened to everything I had to say and gave a very good price, with Europe cover for 90days, handy as off to Eurodisney soon... ...Not like some companies who seem to just try and get a quote out as quick as possible while not listening." Chiffs, Focus ST Owners Club

"@Chris_Knott_Ins thanks for the cheap cover! Much better policy and £150 cheaper than anywhere else." @Rich_UTM, Twitter
(Please follow us on Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/Chris_Knott_Ins)

and then this came in on Facebook overnight:

"Had to comment on the always excellent service from Chris Knott, you insure all 4 of my Volvo's, (from Classic to relatively modern), and always the best price and service. In fact for the most recent purchases I haven't even bothered getting other quotes - I know you'll be the best! Special thanks to Rebecca who has done the last 2 cars for me - brilliant service and always a pleasure to deal with on the phone. Keep up the good work - and thanks again." Graeme Aiken, Facebook

I rang this morning and there was considerable confusion about the difference between being a VOC member and a Volvo Forums member. On top of that, I live in Northern Ireland and was told that nobody could quote for my postcode.

[ChrisKnottIns]

Hi Dancake, please could you PM me your name and the phone number you called from as I'd like to take a listen to this call.

best,
Nick

[ChrisKnottIns]

Hi Dancake, I've listened in to this call and have to hold my hands up. I'll make sure everyone gets a reminder that Volvo Forums is linked to VOC.

As for the NI issue, we can quote for much of NI but it comes down to the sector digit of the postcode as to whether we can quote or what overnight parking requirements there are. For example BT1 2** might be OK but BT1 3** might not. I stress might because I don't personally know which ones are OK specifically, but that's the principle.

I'm sorry we couldn't help you.

[Paul Wildsmith]

perhaps just to point out that while this (Internet) Forum is run (and paid for) by the Volvo Owners Club UK (VOC), it is open to anybody to use at no charge. The VOC itself has a small annual membership fee, and I'd expect paying members to receive some beneficial consideration (else, why pay - no paying members, no VOC and then no Forum ..)

[Steve940estate]

Nick I am a member of the Volvo owners club and my main reason for joining the club was to take advantage of the Volvo Owners Club Insurance Scheme your company offers. I would be very annoyed to find you offer the same deals to owners who aren't members of the club.

Could you tell me exactly what you are now able to offer club members through the scheme please as it wasn't explained when I got a quote this year ?

[Dancake]

Lads it's nice to be a member or a club, but the offer was open to all from what I read. If you feel hard done by because someone wants to help fellow Volvo drivers then you joined for the wrong reasons. The only way to secure exclusive discounts is to make everyone on these forums pay to join the VOC. But lets not forget that some of the best contributors to these forum aren't paid up members.

Nick, I managed to get a very good quote from another broker, but unfortunately the car sold in the time it took to secure competitively priced insurance. The search continues.

Cheers,
Danny

[Steve940estate]

I understand your comments about the forums but part of the deal with becoming a member of the club is having access to the Volvo Owners Club Scheme. I had hoped that the owners club had a special arrangement with Chris Knott so that members got some sort of special deal.

Fair enough if Chris Knott want to arrange a forum only members deal thats fine but it shouldn't be the same product with the same name for both.

Perhaps either the club or Chris Knott could explain furthur please.

Just to explain what I mean I copied part of the advert in the club magazine.

[Steve940estate]

Can anyone help me with my inquiry about what the benifits are for members of the club when insuring through the VOC scheme please ?
I have already spent a long time on the phone trying to sort out my insurance for this year and the information may be useful to others on here.

Thanks.
