Hippo Insurance Services ratings and coverages

What discounts does Hippo Insurance offer?

Hippo includes certain discounts for its products, like its companion policy (having an active car policy with another company) into the base price it offers for insurance. It has many ways for policyholders to save money on premiums with discounts such as:

• Early Signing discount: Get a new insurance policy for your home or condo before your current policy expires and you can qualify for this Hippo discount of up to 10 percent.
• New Home Discount: Since new homes are less likely to have problems with things that typically wear away in older homes, you save money on premiums with this discount of up to 30 percent.
• Smart Home Discount: Having smart home devices in your home or condo will make you eligible for this discount of between 5 and 15 percent. Smart home devices include smoke detectors, alarm systems, and water leak detectors that are able to detect problems early on to help you avoid insurance claims.
• No-Claims Discount: Earn up to a 20 percent discount with Hippo if you go a certain number of years without filing a home or condo insurance claim.
• No-Mortgage Discount: This discount of up to 10 percent is available if you pay for your home upfront.
• Affinity Group Discount: Being part of a certain group can save you between 5 and 20 percent on your homeowner's policy.
• Homeowners Association (HOA) Discount: HOAs often have strict rules and a neighborhood watch that lead to your home being more protected and safer. You can earn a discount between 5 and 10 percent for being part of a homeowners' association.
• Fire Extinguisher Discount: Save as much as five percent with Hippo by having a fire extinguisher in your home.
• Gated Community Discount: If your home or condo is in a gated community, you may qualify for a discount between 5 and 20 percent.

Hippo has added coverage for electronics you have in your home, including smart appliances. Additionally, Hippo has unique special coverage options, including water backflow and service lines.
