Prompt response to my inquiry

Prompt response to my inquiry. Clear instructions and the rep that handled my request was wonderful. I had the required bond completed and issued within two days. Fantastic service!!

Ask for Shawn Weppelman!

My company is certified as a service-disabled veteran owned small business trying to bid municipal projects in Texas and we needed a surety company so I found Brunswick Companies through the U.S. Small Business website. Working with Shawn Weppelman has been excellent. We wasted 3 weeks with another bond company and found Brunswick who turned our request around in record time. Even though there were some paperwork hiccups, Shawn went above and beyond to ensure my company could bid municipal projects on an extremely tight timeframe. Thank you, Shawn.

Great and responsive service

Sharon Marlowe has been my representative the whole time I have had insurance through IXL. She is also responsive, friendly and at times even answers any questions I may have when she is out of the office. I am very thankful she is my representative with Brunswick (and IXL).

Insurance matters

Insurance is one of the most significant thing in our lives. Moreover, it helps to save up to 50% of your annual budget allocated for various situations, which include such things as: dentists visits, consultants, attorneys, accountants an many other things. I believe people have to issue an insurance contract and have to prolong it annually, because it's quite beneficial especially when we are talkign about this company. I have been working with this company for more than 4 years already and I didn't face any difficult issues in prolonging or issuing an insurance contract. Everything is perfect.

I am unimpressed with the Brunswick Companies

I am unimpressed with the Brunswick Companies.

It took several days to get a quote from the Brunswick Companies.

While I was waiting for a quote from the Brunswick Companies, I shopped around, I discovered a much more responsive company in Hiscox Insurance Company, Hiscox has a superior reputation to Brunswick Companies, a much longer history of superior performance, and Hiscox Insurance was a fraction of the price of the Brunswick Companies; Hiscox offered me a superior product and coverage (to Brunswick), at a fraction of the price of Brunswick.

BUYER BEWARE of price gouging by Brunswick Companies, and superior service to Brunswick Companies.

My interactions with Hiscox Companies put my interactions with Brunswick Companies to shame, and Hiscox prices (in an apples to apples comparison), saved me hundreds of dollars. over Brunswick Companies quote. Brunswick Companies were not responsive, they (Brunswick) did not appear to want my business. BAD!

I expect to be a Hiscox Insurance Company client, for life, and, never a Brunswick Companies client.
