Yet another insurance thread

[jrudge]

I started with GJW before calling anyone else.

The premium last year was £2138. This year they wanted £ 2574

With a £3000 excess which I am happy with it has come back down to £2172 so I have agreed the renewal as it is better than spending hours on the phone.

Thanks for all your contributions.

Craftinsure.
Sent them the estimates of cost of repair and lift along with pixs of damage.
Taken about a week to get permission to go ahead.
Problem will now be finding an early lift and booking gel coat man in between our planned trips.
Boat out for several days, opportunity to tidy up a very scruffy boot stripe plus sorting A/F and Anodes.

I'm with Craftinsure and have no direct experience of their claims handling. However our Eriba caravan was insured with Ripe (which seems to be the same company) - and they were really good sorting out the claim when it was written off.

Have made 2 claims over past 20 years and in the past they dealt with the claims without any quibbling and promptly.
Appears so far to be the same with RIPE.
Providing no hidden work turns up, been told to settle bill and claim back from them or ask for invoices to be send direct to Craftinsure for settlement.
Will await the cost of renewal in June with some interest.
