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.
Daihatsu vehicles have different specifications from their UK-sold counterparts. Japanese domestic market models may feature right-hand drive (convenient for UK roads) but often come with different engine specifications, equipment levels, and sometimes even model variants never officially sold in Britain. These differences can affect parts availability, repair costs, and vehicle valuation.
Daihatsus are also known for their compact size and innovative engineering solutions. Many models feature kei-car specifications (designed to meet Japanese tax regulations), unique drivetrain configurations, and specialised components that mainstream insurers may not widely understand. Additionally, older Daihatsu models are becoming rare in the UK, which affects their classification and insurance requirements.
Standard car insurance policies may not provide the most suitable cover for Japanese imports like Daihatsu. A specialist policy takes into account factors such as:
We can arrange insurance for a wide range of Daihatsu models, including:
We can also provide cover for rare Japanese import models that were never officially sold in the UK, like the Daihatsu Mira, Tanto, and Atrai.

That’s not a problem! We don’t just arrange Car Insurance for Classic Cars. We can arrange Car Insurance for older vehicles too. We’ll advise on the best Old Car Insurance policy for your needs.
It can be, yes. Older cars are often simpler, heavier, slower. As such, they are less at risk of a claim. As a rule, classic car drivers are more cautious, drive fewer miles, shorter distances, at quieter times and in fairer weather – all of which minimises risk.
There may be. For instance, modifications may affect a car’s ‘classic’ status, so it’s important to declare this when getting a quote. Some insurers will have driver age and mileage limits too. Track days or racing may not be covered, depending on the insurer. In addition, for insurance purposes, a classic car can’t be your everyday vehicle and should benefit from off-road and/or garage parking. An independent insurance broker can help to ensure you have the right cherished vehicle insurance policy for your needs.
