Great people to deal with get five star from me.. Regards David Stoloff.
We have insured our boat with GJW for many years and have found their customer service, cover and price point to be excellent.
Helpful people at the end of a phone; website is easy; useful newsletters.
The price ..
My claims process was excellent with good communication from Kirsty.
The best. Great value, quick to respond. Comprehensive levels of service. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for marine insurance based on my experience Peter
Good company, straightforward to deal with
My claim was accepted without any issue and paid very quickly.
Great service
Very impressed with GJW Direct. I made a claim following storm damage to my dinghy. This was sorted with a minimum of fuss. I was very pleased indeed that my premium has increased very little.
Hassle free process. Helpful staff
You allowed me to click on contents insurance, but neglected to say that I have set the value at £0. So when I was broken into and had bikes stolen, you said I had no cover. Absolutely terrible customer experience, being able to leave the value of contents cover at £0 should not be feasible!!!!
Apparently you had not notified RCR of our cover with GJW Direct and we were denied RCR support
Been with the company for over 20years, very competitive in pricing, easy to renew policy.
quick and easy renewal online
Easy to deal with, great to bebable to pay costs over 10 months without incuring additional fees
I’ve been with GJW now for over 6 years and never had an issue. Brilliant service every time
Mostly dealing with GJW is ok if impersonal. You are however difficult where there are flexible winter use/ storage dates. It is not practical to have all swinging moorings vacated by a single date due to tides etc.
Excellent Company to deal with.
