Can i just say that Hiscox wipe the floor with the lot of them as far as i could find!   I know they are our sponsors, and of course if they don't get any hits from us they will probably pull the advertising - but for once i'd forget that and actually recommend having a look at them!!  I was mightily impressed, and have just hopped over from Norwich Union and renewed with Hiscox for the same money - with about 1.5 to 2 times the level of cover!!

Pleasantly surprised, and apparently (should the unfortunate happen and you need to..) they are fantastic at processing claims!

However, having been given a stupily high renewal quote from Norwich Union recently, I went to Bradford and Bingly who offer a range of insurence deals through other insurers. I think they make money by getting a commision on each customer or the like.  Anwyay, their best on offer for me was hiscox but unfortunately the Hiscox system refused me.  They weren't sure exactly why, although they suspected my age (22) and total valuation (quite a bit) would be the reason.  As it is, I'm not exactly who I'm insured with now, although it would have been Hiscox - had they not turned me down - and in the mean time I've started a savings account with B&B

Is Hiscox only in Europe?  Do they insure just B&O and other specialized equipment or they general household insurer?

Thanks,

I feel I can be more than specific on this.

I have used them for a couple of years and they are more than competative...

Monthly payments for combined house and contents.

High insured value - no issue and certainly not silly money like anyone else asks (try and insure over £50k and you will see what I mean).

Two claims this year:-

1. My 5 year old son flushed mummys quite valuable eternity ring down the toilet. Money was in the bank within a week.

2. The Floods. Again, the assessor was on the spot an money was in the bank within a week. No agro, no extra stress etc...

Highly recommended, I doubt they can be beaten.
