GJW new owners increase prices

4
I notice on this year's renewal that the new owner have put the premium up by over 20%, and have removed the facility to pay monthly interest free. They now use an independent finance company who charge 18%,so in real terms a insurance increase of 40%. Reviewed on: 21st August 2025

Helpful and responsive.

Helpful and responsive. The renewal is not like other insurers as they remain competitive and reward being a loyal customer. It is good not having to shop around every year. Reviewed on: 20th August 2025
