Why don't you offer insurance to under 25's who have proven themselves to be careful drivers, such as only those that have at least a years crash-free driving of an EK9 as the main driver?

That's what we DID do but unfortunately it didn't work as people had crashes even with the experience!

Interestingly, last week I read one insurer saying that the worst performing category for them in insurance was under 25's on CTR's!

That's for all CTR models isn't it? Do you know what the figures are for only EK9's?
 
Hi
Just to let you know I'm taking a (well-earned?!) rest over Christmas!

From today, I am only in on 23/12 but then off till 4/1/10 so won't be able to answer insurance-related questions on here till then.

Of course, the office will still be open each day except the 'Bank Holidays', Christmas Eve, New Years Eve, Saturday afternoons & Sundays – 0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961 if ringing by mobile.

The claims department is manned 24 hours a day and the claims helpline number can be found on your Certificate of Insurance & policy booklet.

Have a good Christmas and a peaceful New Year.
 
Hi
As with most people, we have been affected by the snow but most of our staff are in now though it took some time. We are due more snow in our location in the next few days but as half our staff are fairly local anyway, this shouldn't be a problem.

I'll let you know however if there are any significant changes re staffing!

UPDATE - JUST BEEN TOLD WE ARE SHUTTING AT 3.30PM TODAY - WEDNESDAY 6TH JANUARY!
 
Just got a quote from you, I think you are asking to much i am 30 had my car for 4 years 3 years ncb and no points etc.. £934
 
Thanks to all who have rung us for a quote.

We have just calculated the figures for 2009 and they show that the average recorded saving we made for our new customers last year was 12.5% off their BEST quote so it's certainly worth a call!

We consistently average over 80% renewal retention as well (December was 84%!) so people are happy at renewal as well!

0800 917 2274 or 01580 752961 until 1/3/10 then 01424 200477.
 
will you ever be insuring under 25 on ek9 or dc5
 
Edit: Looked completely beyond the title, is this thread for EK9's only? My bad


Im 17, EK9 civic 1.4 1999, not yet passed my test but obviously will be wanting to get insured when I do.

Ill be the owner of the car and the main policy holder, do I have a chance of a decent quote or will it be another ridiculous quote of over £2500?

I do have modifications in consideration...

The scheme is for most cars, not just EK9's, as it's the community for whom the scheme is provided.

We wouldn't be able to help you because of your age, I'm afraid. Sorry.
 
Please note that we have moved to modern premises in Hastings, East Sussex, specifically designed around the current and future needs of the business and considering the fact that we have taken on quite a few more staff.

The new postal details for Chris Knott Insurance will be:

Chris Knott Insurance

5th Floor

Cavendish House

Breeds Place

Hastings

East Sussex

TN34 3AA



Our quote line number won’t change – you can still call us FREE on 0800 917 2274 for your no-obligation quote – remember to quote your unique club/forum code (mobiles can call 01424 200477).



As well as new premises, we have recently invested heavily in technology that will reduce the amount of paper we use and store. The overall aim of these improvements is to enhance operations and therefore offer members an even better service.
 
Hi

Although on average nearly 1 in every 2 people who get a quote from us take out a policy, the number of people who ring us is quite low compared to the amount of registered users.

I realise that there are certain age and postcode limitations as stated in my original post in this thread (which are there to protect the scheme for the majority due to the high claims loss ratio's within these categories) but I would encourage you to give us a call if your car (or home, breakdown) insurance is due.

Our reputation hopefully precedes us based on the amount of grateful comments received.

Please ring free on 0800 917 2274 (mobiles can ring 01424 200477) and just state the club reference number found in my signature below, or in my original post.
 
Hi Tim,

Just called up asking for an insurance quote. All was going well until we got round to the modifications to my car. When I said it had a Spoon ECU, they asked what power does it give. I haven't had the car dynoed so wouldn't know and they can't go further with a quote without knowing what increase it gives.

Any help?

Thanks.
 
it doesn't give an increase in overall power, so shouldn't affect the premium...

Lol, why does every single good car insurance policy exclude N. Ireland..... I'm so sad :(
 
Thanks Andy. Gone with A Plan since the ecu didn't make a difference to them.
 
Hi
We just like to know approximates in terms of how much bhp increases. And as Andy said, if it doesn't increase then there should be no increase in premium whatsoever.
