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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
