aimlesswanderer15 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hi All, I have been looking for insurance and there are a number of companies out that offering similar packages. Do any of them have particularly good / bad reputations? I'll be new to narrowboating with no experience (gulp) so any insurance company that looks kindly on this will be a benefit!

blackrose Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Most insurance companies don't require any experience unless perhaps you're venturing onto tidal rivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 We have been using GJW direct for about ten years and they have always been very competitive premium wise and are very easy to deal with. However, we haven't had to make a claim which would be the real test! Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 We are with Craftinsure. Been no problems to talk of. I have been in contact with them this week to discuss changes to the policy as we are living aboard as from Monday this coming week. They have been very helpful with their advice and suggestions even to the extent of saying there's no increase in premium for us but we may have to increase personal loss insurance. We made a claim about four years ago, but as with many companies there were a couple of items that I hadn't understood. Not their fault, ours.

Jparry Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I have been using Craftinsure for several years & did have to claim last year , which they handled very promptly even though it took some time to finalise due to the floods ,this was not due to anything they could have done different .

Grace and Favour Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 We use Towergate Mardon. Absolutely no complaints, and very helpful with all my enquiries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Cal Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 We used Navigators and Generalfor five years and they tailored the policy to meet our needs. We started with a non tidal policy, then tidal and finally a full inland and coastal policy. We switched to Allianz this year purely because that's the underwriter which offered us the best group deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUMPY Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 GJW for me They are the only company I will use as their record on paying out is better than others, just look at the trashed boat thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
