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

Title 23 Days Waiting for My Own Money Back - Appalling Service
Hiscox voided my business insurance policy and confirmed a premium refund of £866.43 on 12th December 2025.
I provided bank account details on 15th December - well before the Christmas break.
It is now 7th January 2026. 23 days later, I still don't have my money.
I have sent multiple emails requesting updates. The underwriter has responded THREE times with essentially the same copy-paste response: "I've asked [department name] for an update."
No payment reference number. No timeline. No transparency. No accountability.
Just vague promises that someone, somewhere, is supposedly looking into it.
This is MY money. Money I paid them in good faith for insurance cover. They voided the policy, so I'm entitled to it back immediately.
Instead, I'm being fobbed off with corporate non-responses while they sit on my funds.
The lack of basic customer service is staggering. If this is how Hiscox treats customers when they OWE you money, I dread to think how they handle actual claims.
Avoid Hiscox. They are happy to take your money but appalling at giving it back.

Dear Customer,
I am sorry to hear you had a frustrating experience, this is certainly not the level of service we expect for our customers. In order for us to look into this in more details, could you please send us your policy number, and a little background on your issue to reviews@hiscox.com. We can then direct this to the appropriate team who will look into this.
Thank you in advance.

Insurance for sole trader
I took out insurance with Hiscox after becoming self employed and so far my experience has been very good. I had to make a claim for damage to my equipment and the team were friendly and professional to deal with.
