It was easy, led one through the process and my only reason for not going the extra star was it was a bit on the slow side

Great portal for building insurance cover, slightly slow in responding and no mark-up when fields are left empty leading to waiting times until realising mistakes in filling the forms

AI - yuk !

I find using the internet can be tricky and there were one or two moments I thought I might have got something wrong. I therefore phoned them and spoke to a charming lady who checked everything for me , all was ok. I have been dealing wih another broker for years who has gone to AI, it was horrendous, so I was delighted that Hiscox was still using human beings, full marks ! Highly recommended .

No better than the thieves that steal your kit.

Hiscox refused to payout my business claim after all my equipment was stolen, stating that I had left it unattended, as I was loading my vehicle and it was 20 metres away.
They are no better than the thieves who took it, in fact they are worse, as they pretend to be on your side whilst your paying them.
Utter scum.
Save your money, there's absolutely no point giving it yo Hiscox.

Competitive quote for Business Insurance

After getting Hiscox insurance through brokers for years I decided to go direct to Hiscox as the cost was escalating. The website was easy to use and the price was amazing.
