How to choose a home insurance policy
At Hiscox, we understand that no two homes are the same. Those who value insurance as much as the value of their home often need a little more safeguarding – after all, peace of mind is priceless.
We can help you decide which home insurance policy best fits your needs. Perhaps you need to know the difference between our home insurance policies, what happens once you've made the decision, details on our claims policy or maybe you would like to know what our current customers think about us. Once you’ve made your decision, we can make it happen.
Which policy?
How much is building insurance? How much contents insurance do I need? We answer all these questions, and more, right here.
Claims philosophy
Our client relationships are based on trust and we handle all our claims with speed, efficiency and courtesy. Common sense comes as standard. And we never look for loopholes.
