Fiveways Insurance in short
Fiveways Insurance is a Newport broker covering business, personal and private-client lines, from commercial motor and construction to high-value home cover, across offices in Newport and Stafford. You can pop in rather than phone, and team pages with client testimonials sit on the site. That visitable, long-standing setup is what sets Fiveways apart. Two offices with published opening-hours routes make it easy to deal with face to face.
Customer reviews are spotless but thin, at five out of five from a handful of Google reviews. FCA authorisation and Broker Network membership are stated on the firm's own site. It counts against Fiveways Insurance that public review evidence runs to so few voices, and nothing about fees, commission or VAT is published. The Broker Network badge signals backing beyond the high street.
The firm works from its High Street office in Newport with a second office in Stafford. Opening-hours routes are published for both offices, and team pages with client testimonials sit on the site. A broker with two doors to walk through is rare in this round. The company record is active since the mid-seventies.
Evidence is among the thinnest in the round, with no second platform held to test the few voices on Google. The Broker Network badge and the firm's history must carry what the reviews cannot. That scarcity is the honest gap in an otherwise storied profile.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Fiveways suits you if you want a long-standing Newport broker covering business and personal lines from offices you can visit. The history stretches back to 1967 and the site is open about its people. It counts against it that public review evidence is thin and nothing about cost is published.

Questions about Fiveways Insurance
Is Fiveways Insurance any good?
On the evidence, yes for long-standing local cover: it sits third in our Telford insurance brokers table, with business, personal and private-client lines from offices you can visit. The public review base is small, so read the full page and its sources. Agree the pay route in writing before you go ahead.
Is Fiveways Insurance FCA registered?
FCA authorisation is stated on the firm's own website, alongside membership of Broker Network. Check the name on the FCA register and the membership on BIBA's member-check tool before you share documents. Ask for both references with your quote before you proceed. The firm lists no numbered permission, so match the trading name carefully.
What does Fiveways Insurance charge?
The site publishes no fees, commission terms, free-quote statement or VAT position, so the written quote does the talking. Ask what the broker earns on your policy and whether any fee adds VAT. Get the answers in writing before cover starts. Pop-in visitors can settle the pay route face to face.
Where does Fiveways Insurance work?
The firm works from Newport and Stafford, covering Telford and the surrounding area from offices you can visit. Send your postcode with the enquiry to confirm you are covered. Ask which office would handle your account, and take a contact name for renewals. Published opening-hours routes cover both the Newport and Stafford offices.
How is Fiveways Insurance ranked?
It ranks third of the ten brokers in our September round, carried by its history, cover range and website detail. Thin review evidence holds it back. Read the full review, then compare its quote with one Wellington or Telford broker. No rival in the round traces its history further back.
How do I get a quote from Fiveways Insurance?
Pop into the Newport or Stafford office, or use the published phone, email and opening-hours routes to start the conversation. Say which office should hold the account and take a contact name for renewals. Face-to-face visitors can talk through the risks across the desk. Team pages name the people behind the desks.
What do customers say about Fiveways Insurance?
Public evidence runs to a handful of Google reviews at top marks — spotless but thin. With no second platform held, the long history says more about the firm than the reviews can. Treat the reviews as a hint rather than proof. The full review page sets out what little there is, so read it before deciding.
How does Fiveways Insurance compare with the others in this round?
It ranks third of the ten, carried by the longest history in the round and a visitable two-office setup. Thin review evidence keeps it behind the top two despite that history. Our view is that it suits buyers who value a door to walk through over a deep review record.
