We are pleased to announce that the Hiscox Online Claims Notification Portal is now available for you to report new claims.
The portal can be used for most UK property and casualty claims with an online journey that's smart and dynamic to the type of claim you are reporting, and is quick and easy to use.
Make sure you report any stolen items to the police as soon as possible. If you need to take action to prevent further damage or loss then please do this (bearing in mind that we need to assess the circumstances before we can confirm cover).
If you have notified us of your claim by email, your dedicated claims handler will contact you within 48 hours to let you know if they need any more information from you.
You can rest assured that your claims handler will be experienced in your specific type of claim and will understand any concerns you may have. They will appoint external experts if necessary and be there to support you every step of the way.
