Why Hiscox?

We believe that it is our humanity that sets us apart from other insurers. We take pride in understanding people and their lives at real depth. We look at what makes them different, not what makes them the same.


Our world-class underwriting enables us to be a specialist that properly gets under the skin of the people it protects instead of an insurance generalist who never goes more than skin deep.

When it comes to claims, our reputation for claims handling is second to none.

We see the human pain that comes with a claim and we go above and beyond to make things right.

We forge deep and trusted relationships with our broker partners. We speak to our customers like people, not like robots. And we take real care of our staff.


It all adds up to a business that truly sees the people behind the policy: a business with strongly held values and a unique 'soul' that makes Hiscox a place to work like no other.
