No complaints. GJW do everything promptly, are competitive in price, keep me informed, provide their renewal terms in good time, extend my cover by a few days both at the beginning and end of cover, such as I try to have the Bayliner in the water depending on how Easter falls date wise. Similarly, I bring the boat home on a Saturday/Sunday at the end of September.
Excellent experience when I recently submitted a claim for damage to my outboard engine. The claim was settled very swiftly and particularly thanks to Kirsty Jones for a first class service.

Very reasonably priced on all quotes I’ve had great communication I have been 6 years with this company no problems whatsoever 👍
Good customer service and a great price
The whole process is effort less been a customer for 10 years or so now never a problem
Changed my insurance to GJW and it was cheaper than the previous company
It is good to be able acces my insurance policies via the Internet, but there is a person at the end of a phone you can talk to. Also there are no long waits for someone to talk to.
Very kind people at a time when we were very stressed and upset. Paid our policy very fairly . Was able to speak to a real person rather than email and messaging. Would highly recommend this company to anyone.
