Specialist global insurer Hiscox has selected leading legal expenses and assistance provider ARAG to supply home emergency cover to its direct home insurance customers.
The decision follows a market review conducted by Hiscox and will result in ARAG delivering a bespoke product to its mid-net worth policyholders.
“Clearly, we had to offer something pretty special for Hiscox.” comments ARAG Head of Sales, Andy Talbot. “The cover is much wider than a normal home emergency policy, with fewer exclusions and all supported by an outstanding level of claims service. I’m obviously delighted to extend the relationship that we have started to build with such an iconic insurance brand”
Phil Thorn, Head of Direct Home Insurance at Hiscox adds “We have been working with ARAG for two years on our high net worth business during which they have demonstrated the flexibility and innovation that we need to deliver the best possible product to our customers, as well as the very high levels of service that Hiscox policyholders rightly expect.
