About us

As the UK's leading specialist insurer of higher value homes, we remain at the cutting edge of business innovation, and yet, at the same time, we continue to honour the exclusive service philosophy for which we have been acclaimed for more than 100 years. At Hiscox, who we insure remains as important as what we insure.

Exceptional service

Hiscox provides an extraordinary product, delivered with extraordinary levels of service. By concentrating our services solely on the most discerning clients, we are unique in being able to provide wider cover at competitive prices.

Since 1901, our company has grown from being a single Lloyd's of London underwriter to an insurance organisation that is fully listed on the London Stock Exchange. Twenty five years ago we introduced specialist fine art insurance cover – a global first – and, building on our expertise, we later extended our specialist cover to clients with other valuable possessions at home.

Experienced specialists

As a client of Hiscox, you can be assured of an exclusive service by a knowledgeable, professional and proactive team. Experts in their field, our specialists will deal with your claim with integrity, speed and efficiency. Awarded five stars for our home insurance by independent financial research company Defaqto, Hiscox remains as discerning as the clients it represents.
