No increase in premium this year. Very helpful on the telephone.
Been with GJW direct for years does that tell you something there good.
I was quickly directed to a person who could make decisions. This person was able to discuss my risks and give me an appropriate price for my policy extension. First class service.
Good price and helpful with a delay to purchasing the vessel
When the time comes for renewal, GWR alerts me in good time, with follow-up reminders if necessary, and I can complete the transaction quickly by phone. All very friendly, polite and efficient. The premiums are comparatively very reasonable, too.
I find dealing with GJW Direct very easy. The price of the policy is reasonable. I am therefore very satisfied
Fast, efficient and the price was very good.
Truble free
Luckily, I've not yet had to make a claim so can't comment on that BUT the dealings I have had with the company have been easy, CS staff pleasant (when I've needed to ask advice I can't get online), and their prices are very competitive when compared with other marine insurers. I've already recommended GJW to a couple of other boating friends.
No claims made so all good!
Good value and great service
Your ability to maintain the price as in the previous year also, the pleasantry of the staff
Competitive prices and an easy process to complete the insurance.
I have always found GJW to be very helpful. It is always nice to be able to speak to a real person easily on the end of a phone.
Gjw were very good with our claim .
Very good ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ
Itโs not to do with a claim, itโs because when we asked about hearing aids included in our cover, we found they were not. Disappointed, for the premium we pay expected more comprehensive cover especially as itโs possible to list items ยฃ1000+ separately in our policy but not hearing aids!
Very fair on pricing,no nasty shocks on renewal, easy to renew.
Simple renewal on the same terms, couldnโt be easier
