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.
Polestar vehicles represent the cutting edge of electric vehicle technology, combining Scandinavian design philosophy with advanced electric powertrains and sophisticated driver assistance systems. This technological complexity creates specific insurance considerations that require tailored understanding.
The brand’s focus on sustainability and premium materials means that repairs often require tailored knowledge and parts sourcing. Polestar vehicles feature advanced battery systems, regenerative braking technology, and sophisticated infotainment systems that standard insurers may not fully comprehend.
Additionally, the rapid evolution of electric vehicle technology means that Polestar models often hold their value differently compared to traditional combustion engine vehicles. Our tailored insurers understand these market dynamics and can source appropriate cover that reflects the true cost of ownership and replacement.
Our tailored arrangements cover the complete Polestar range, from the brand’s first production model through to the latest additions to their expanding lineup.
For owners of higher-performance Polestar variants, including those with the Performance Pack or Pilot Pack options, we understand that these enhancements affect both the vehicle’s capabilities and insurance requirements. Our insurer's policies can be tailored to reflect these performance upgrades.
Understanding the elements that affect your costs helps you make informed decisions about cover and risk management. Several factors impact the cost of insuring a Polestar:
Many Polestar owners install home charging points, which can affect both the security of your vehicle and your insurance requirements. Our team can advise on how charging infrastructure impacts your cover and whether additional protection is needed.
Polestar vehicles come equipped with advanced safety systems, including automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and sophisticated driver assistance features. These technologies often result in lower insurance premiums due to their accident prevention capabilities.
Our insurer's policies can be tailored to include cover options designed specifically for premium electric vehicle ownership.
Our approach to Polestar coverage is built on understanding both the technology and the passion behind electric vehicle ownership. Our team includes enthusiasts who appreciate that choosing a Polestar represents a commitment to sustainable performance and cutting-edge technology.
We maintain relationships with specialist insurers who understand electric vehicles and can provide competitive premiums whilst ensuring comprehensive protection. This specialist knowledge means we can offer coverage that standard insurers simply cannot match.
Our personal service approach ensures you have direct access to team members who understand your specific requirements and can adapt your coverage as electric vehicle technology continues to evolve.

Polestars sit higher in insurance groups than mainstream EVs because of performance, vehicle value and specialist repair costs. A Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor or a Polestar 3 Performance Pack isn't priced the same as a family EV. Through our panel, we compare insurers who understand the brand rather than pricing them as generic electric cars.
The battery pack is covered as part of the vehicle whether you've bought or leased the car, so accidental damage, fire and theft are included on a standard comprehensive policy. We also make sure home charging equipment, cables and any wallbox are covered against damage and theft. Manufacturer battery-degradation warranties stay with Polestar, not the insurer.
They can be. Aluminium body panels, advanced driver-assist sensors and EV-specific safety procedures all push labour costs up, and repairs have to go through an approved EV-certified bodyshop. That's why it's worth making sure your policy uses a Polestar-approved repair network and covers loan-car provision while work is done.
Report the theft to the police for a crime reference and call the insurer's claims line as soon as possible. Polestars come with connected-car tracking built in, which helps recovery, and some of our panel insurers offer lower premiums when a Thatcham-rated aftermarket tracker is fitted alongside. Keyless-entry relay attacks are a known risk - a Faraday pouch for your keys is a cheap fix.
Yes. The Polestar 1 was a limited-production plug-in hybrid GT with carbon fibre bodywork, and at roughly 1,500 units built worldwide it sits firmly in collectible territory. Standard mainstream insurers struggle to price it. We work with specialist insurers who treat it more like a modern classic, with agreed value and limited-mileage options where they fit your use.
Yes. Plenty of Polestar owners have a second car - a family SUV, a weekend classic, a partner's daily driver. We can bring them all onto one multi-car policy, with each vehicle keeping its own driver list and no-claims bonus. Renewal lands on a single date and the combined premium is usually lower than separate policies.
Breakdown cover isn't automatic with every policy, so we always ask about it. For a Polestar, EV-aware breakdown matters - you want a provider that can flat-bed recover the car (not tow it conventionally) and, ideally, get you to a charge point if you've simply run flat. We'll make sure whichever cover you take can handle an EV properly.
For most Polestar 2, 3 and 4 quotes we can have terms back and cover on the road the same day. A Polestar 1 or a heavily optioned performance variant sometimes needs a valuation sign-off before we bind, but our UK-based team will tell you upfront what's needed and keep things moving.
