Relaxation in CHRIS KNOTT age and experience criteria
There's really good news for many of the members we've previously had to turn down - we've kept on the case with insurers and have been able to negotiate a relaxation of the age & experience criteria for the club scheme.
These are the changes from the old requirements where we had them on certain models:
OLD RULES - 25+ with 12 months' experience of the car or one of similar performance.
NEW RULES - 25+ with 6 months' experience.
OLD RULES - 25+ with 24 months' experience or 30+ if only 12 months' experience.
NEW RULES - 25+ with 12 months' experience.
OLD RULES - 30+ with 12 months' experience.
NEW RULES - 28+ with 12 months' experience.
There's still some way to go but it's good that we at least have these concessions.
Remember to include us in the mix when looking around for quotes. We're still signing up 40% of quotes offered - there won't be many in the industry that can say that.
To find out how much you could save with Chris Knott please call FREE on 0800 917 2274 (or 01424 200477 - cheaper for mobiles) and quote this forum's unique code.

Re: Relaxation in CHRIS KNOTT age and experience criteria
We're able to quote some L postcodes now but the list is quite long so insurers won't issue it. We're left with whether the computer offers a quote for that postcode when we enter your details - not that we necessarily use the computer's rate as they're invariably too high.
Does that make sense?

Re: Relaxation in CHRIS KNOTT age and experience criteria
So you don't insure ANYbody under 25?
Can anyone recommend any insurers other than the comparison sites and admiral for a 21 year old

Re: Relaxation in CHRIS KNOTT age and experience criteria
No, all Z4's (regardless of engine size or designation) will be 28 with 12 months experience.
I included the other categories as members often ask us to also quote for other cars that are not their 'club' cars.

Re: Relaxation in CHRIS KNOTT age and experience criteria
Wait, when I phoned up in May for a quote on my 3.0 you told me I needed 12 months experience and to be 25, so I was going to try you next year, you even mentioned to try you next year.
You're now telling me it's 28? lol that's not a relaxation.

Sorry, whoever told you that was wrong. Z4s are all 28.fearless wrote:Wait, when I phoned up in May for a quote on my 3.0 you told me I needed 12 months experience and to be 25, so I was going to try you next year, you even mentioned to try you next year.

Re: Relaxation in CHRIS KNOTT age and experience criteria
Why 28? Seems odd.
I had no problem getting insured on a z4 with admiral at 24. I'm now 25 and again, no problem.
