After being let down by my previous insurer, Chris Knott made the whole process painless. Honest, straightforward, and friendly from the very first call. Highly recommend them.
Andy was brilliant - talked me through all the options clearly, no pressure, and found me a much better deal than the comparison sites. This is how insurance should be done.

Switched my home insurance after a recommendation from a friend. Very competitive premium and the whole thing was done in under 20 minutes. Very pleased with everything.
First-class service. I dealt with Emma who was patient, helpful and knew exactly what I needed for my thatched cottage. Got proper specialist cover, not a standard policy.
Genuinely good old-fashioned customer service. A real person who actually listens and helps you find the right cover. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my insurance now.
Had a claim last year and Chris Knott supported me throughout. Made a stressful situation much easier. Fair, fast, and professional - exactly what you want from a broker.
Renewed my multi-car policy today. Still the best value I've found anywhere and the team remembered me from last year. That personal touch really makes a difference.
Very helpful team, especially when I needed to add a modified vehicle to my policy. Talked me through everything and made sure I was properly covered. Excellent all round.

Efficient, clear, and competitive. I ran through three comparison sites before calling Chris Knott and they beat them all. UK-based team made the whole thing painless.
Outstanding from start to finish. I've recommended Chris Knott to everyone I know - my parents, my sister, and even my colleagues. They never let anyone down.
The service is what sets Chris Knott apart. You get proper advice from people who understand insurance, not a script. Worth every penny and more.
Bentley vehicles represent exceptional value, with new models ranging from £150,000 for a Continental GT to over £300,000 for bespoke Mulliner creations. Classic Bentleys, particularly rare models like the original Continental R or vintage Speed Six, can command significantly higher values at auction.
The handcrafted nature of Bentley vehicles means that each car contains hundreds of hours of skilled craftsmanship. From the hand-stitched leather interiors to the meticulously finished wood veneers, these vehicles require specialist knowledge when it comes to repair and restoration.
Bentley’s commitment to bespoke personalisation through their Mulliner division means that many vehicles on the road are unique, one-off creations. This individuality presents particular challenges for standard insurers who may not understand the true replacement cost of custom features and rare specifications.
Our specialist insurers recognise these complexities and can provide appropriate coverage that reflects the true value and craftsmanship of your Bentley, whether it’s a modern masterpiece or a treasured classic.
The cost of insuring your Bentley depends on numerous factors, but as a general guide, luxury vehicle coverage typically represents between 2-5% of the vehicle’s value annually. For a £200,000 Continental GT, you might expect to pay between £4,000-£10,000 per year, though this can vary significantly based on your circumstances.
Classic Bentley models often benefit from more favourable rates through specialist classic car policies, particularly if they’re used for limited mileage and stored securely. These policies recognise that classic vehicles are typically driven more carefully and less frequently than daily drivers.
The premium you’ll pay depends on several critical factors including your driving history, where the vehicle will be stored, annual mileage expectations, and the specific model and specification of your Bentley. Our team works closely with you to understand these variables and secure the most competitive premium possible whilst ensuring comprehensive protection.

Bentley insurance does tend to carry higher premiums due to the high value of the vehicles, costly parts and specialist repair requirements. However, as an independent broker we search a wide panel of specialist insurers to find competitive rates. Factors like agreed value cover, limited mileage and secure storage can all help bring the premium down.
Yes, we have extensive experience insuring classic Bentleys from the 1920s Blower models through to the Continental R and Arnage. We can arrange agreed value cover to ensure your classic Bentley is properly valued, along with specialist repair networks that understand these vehicles.
We strongly recommend it. Standard market value policies may undervalue your Bentley, especially older or rarer models. With agreed value insurance, you and the insurer agree on the car's worth upfront, so you receive the full amount in the event of a total loss.
Yes. Whether your Bentley has aftermarket wheels, exhaust upgrades, ECU remapping or cosmetic changes, just let us know the details and we will find an insurer from our panel who can cover it properly. Our experience with modified car insurance means we know which insurers are sympathetic to modifications.
Yes. If you have a collection of vehicles, we can arrange multi-car insurance or a collector car policy that covers all of them under one agreement. Each vehicle accrues its own no claims bonus, and you benefit from the convenience of a single renewal date.
