We can then direct this to the appropriate team who will look into this.
Thank you in advance.

Securing a quote on line can be a laborious process. The website is slow and can hang without giving a coherent reason. The site even hangs on some addresses that it finds through its own post code search, eg if a flat name string is too long for it. Also it will hang unless a postcode is entered with no spaces, which is an incorrect format for postcodes.

Totally easy to navigate

Totally easy to navigate, comprehend and purchase. No fuss or complications in what can be a very complex area (insurance!). Have had Hiscox coverage at different times with different business manifestations over the years both in the US and the UK and always have been happy with the coverage.

Claim declined review ignored.

On 7 January, Hiscox publicly responded to my earlier review, stating they would investigate and asked me to email them with further details. I did so promptly. It has now been over six weeks and I have received no acknowledgement or response. This continued lack of follow-up does not reflect a proactive approach to resolving customer concerns.
