Common Questions

We're Here to Help

Got a question? Whether you're a new customer or an existing policyholder, we've got you covered.

What types of insurance do you offer?
We offer a wide range of personal and commercial insurance including motor (classic, modified, imported, performance), property (home, listed, thatched, high-value), business liability, professional indemnity, and specialist schemes for charities, churches, dog businesses and more.
Can you beat comparison site prices?
Yes, we often can. Our strong relationships with leading insurers give us access to competitive rates that aren't always available on comparison sites. Plus, we make sure your policy actually covers what you need, not just the cheapest option.
Do I need to be a car club member for motor insurance?
Not at all. While car club members can benefit from exclusive discounts of up to 15%, we provide competitive motor insurance to all drivers. Our specialist knowledge means we're particularly good with classic, modified and performance vehicles.
How do I make a claim?
Simply call us on 0800 917 2274 or visit our claims page. Our UK-based team will guide you through the entire process and liaise with the insurer on your behalf, making it as stress-free as possible.
Are you a regulated insurance broker?
Yes. Chris Knott Insurance is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Our FCA Register number is 304452. You can verify this on the FCA's Financial Services Register.
