Excellent service from start to finish. The team took time to understand exactly what I needed and found me a great policy at a competitive price. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
Been with Chris Knott for over 5 years now. Easy renewal process and the team are always a pleasure to speak with. Proper UK-based advice you can actually trust.
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.
I needed specialist cover for my classic Jaguar and Chris Knott sorted it quickly and at a great price. Really impressed with the level of knowledge and personal service.
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.
Chris Knott have been brilliant for my listed property - most insurers wouldn't touch it but they found me comprehensive cover at a sensible price. Grateful for their expertise.
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.
Classic Humbers represent an important chapter in British automotive heritage. Established in 1868 and producing vehicles until 1976, Humber built a reputation for manufacturing prestigious cars that were favoured by the British establishment, including the Royal Family.
These vehicles combined luxury with engineering excellence, creating cars that stood apart from their contemporaries. Today, surviving Humbers are treasured classics that continue to appreciate in value. Their age and rarity mean that standard car insurance policies cannot properly account for their true worth or the specialist knowledge required for maintenance and repairs.
Their status as collector vehicles rather than everyday transport requires insurance that understands what makes a Humber special.
Standard car insurance falls short when covering classic Humbers. Regular policies fail to address the key aspects of Humber ownership, including:
Our tailored Humber insurance recognises the true value of your classic while providing practical cover for how enthusiasts actually use and enjoy these vehicles.
At Chris Knott Insurance, we can arrange cover for the full range of Humber vehicles, including:
We can also provide insurance for the rare Humber motorcycles and bicycles that preceded their car production, recognising their important historical value and collector status.
The most common questions we're asked about Humber insurance. Can't find what you're looking for? Speak to our UK-based team on 0800 917 2274.
Yes. Humber production ended in 1976, so a Super Snipe, Hawk, Imperial or Sceptre is comfortably old enough for classic terms. Most insurers on our panel also want the car to be a second vehicle rather than a daily driver, with limited annual mileage and secure overnight parking. Tell our UK-based team how you use the car and we will confirm the fit.
Agreed value cover suits most well-kept Humbers. A concours Super Snipe MkIV or Hawk Series IV is worth well beyond a mainstream book figure, so a market-value settlement can leave you short after a total loss. Send us photos, receipts and a Post Vintage Humber Car Club valuation and we will set the sum insured to a realistic figure.
Yes, and it is the usual choice. Typical limits of 1,500, 3,000 or 5,000 miles a year suit a Sceptre or Imperial that only leaves the garage for club runs and summer shows. Pick a mileage that leaves a buffer for longer trips and we will quote against it on the panel.
Several insurers on our panel recognise Post Vintage Humber Car Club and Association of Rootes Car Clubs membership as a sign of an engaged, careful owner and apply a club rate. Share your membership number when you quote and our UK-based team will check whether a discount is available for your model and postcode.
Yes. A multi-car policy that covers your Humber and your daily driver under one schedule usually works out cheaper than two standalone policies, with a single renewal date to remember. Each car keeps its own cover level, so the Humber can run on limited mileage while the everyday car runs on full use.
Yes. If your Humber is SORN for winter or part-way through a restoration, laid-up cover protects against fire, theft and accidental damage in storage at a much lower cost than full road cover. You can upgrade back to driving cover when the car is ready for the road again.
