Hippo is the first insurance company I've ever enjoyed working with. The signup process was stupid easy, and most importantly, I never had to talk to anyone on the phone. Then I did my renewal over email within minutes. Now if only they'd sell auto, life, and health...

Yes, I have them. I filed a claim with them on some hail damage from the last storm. All is good and they found damage that I was not aware of. Everyone from the estimator and the office contact have been professional. No complaints here.

As a first time home owner, it was a pleasure working with Hippo! I had another company’s policy before, but Hippo offered me a more relevant, comprehensive policy, at a cheaper price and with better customer support throughout! I was blown away, and could not recommend them more!

I would be wary of this company. You can't have a copy of your policy until AFTER it goes into effect. They provide a summary until you've paid and the policy is effective. No way you can have a copy of the full policy before. That raises red flags for me. Also, they indicate that a home inspection needs to be performed but they don't schedule it until weeks after your policy goes into effect. That gives them the opportunity to change the rate they quoted. They want you to buy before you know what's in it. Not a good business model. I canceled before the policy went into effect because of these factors.

This site reads like an advertisement for Hippo Insurance... I have purchased Hippo Home Insurance and had nothing but problems with them... First they got my policy wrong... then when you call "customer service" it sounds like they all work from home, (dog barking? baby crying? no central office/oversight)… then they got the premium wrong... then they got the start date wrong... I finally canceled... you get what you pay for.

their rates are so far from being competitive it is crazy. I got quoted $9,307 a year or like $775 a month. that is not including wind, hail or hurricane coverage. with over quotes coming in around 1300 to 1600 a year including wind, hail and hurricane coverage.

Takes forever to reach them by phone. They have a poor web-site. They have e-mail me information of others folks insurance policy info. They bill you again after you pay them in full. Most insurance co. gives you a discount for paying in full .

Wow, I was getting frustrated with all of the big name insurance companies and even a few of my local smaller companies. Every single company was either double the price or if they were able to come close to Hippo, their coverage amounts were not as much and had higher deductibles. I went ahead and signed up on the Hippo site and selected Escrow as my lender will be sending the funds. I am just crossing my fingers that this premium quote does not change for any reason like a bait and switch. We shall see. So far so good and thanks Hippo!

They only accept credit cards. I do not want to use plastic.
My policy is going to be dumped because Hippo will not take checks, money orders, or a bank draft.
