What we cover

Ten kinds of cover. One agency that knows your name.

From your first car to a fleet, from a family clinic card to a corporate scheme — we place it, explain it, and stand behind it.

Why Colwan

Most people only find out how good their insurance is on their worst day.

That's the day we're built for. Buying a policy is easy — anyone can sell you one. What matters is who answers when you call from the roadside.

Licensed and accountable

We're a registered agency working with IRA-licensed underwriters. Everything we place is on paper, in your name.

One agent, start to finish

You get a named person who knows your file — not a call centre queue and a new story every time.

We move at Kenyan speed

Cover notes the same day, certificates while you wait, and renewal reminders before your policy lapses.

Honest about the fine print

We tell you what isn't covered before you sign. No surprises at the worst possible moment.

How a claim works

Four steps. No runaround.

01

Call or WhatsApp us

Reach your agent directly, day or night. We log the incident immediately.

02

We gather the documents

We tell you exactly what's needed and chase the police abstract, quotes or reports with you.

03

We push the insurer

We file, follow up and escalate — you don't have to learn insurance jargon to be taken seriously.

04

You get paid

We confirm settlement and stay on the file until the money actually lands.

Client stories

People who've already had their worst day.

My car was written off on Mombasa Road. Colwan had the assessor on site the next morning and my settlement came through in three weeks.

Peter M.

Motor client, Nairobi

They moved our whole staff medical scheme and actually explained the exclusions. First broker who didn't just email me a PDF.

HR Manager, Kisumu

I import twice a month. Marine certificates come back within hours, every time. It's one less thing I have to think about.
