Hippo Holdings Inc. today announced a strategic distribution relationship with Progressive Insurance that began earlier this year. Under an agreement with Progressive Advantage Agency, Inc., Progressive’s in-house agency, Hippo’s homeowners insurance products have been added to Progressive’s HomeQuote Explorer^® and are available both online and through Progressive’s in house agents across eight states: Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Hippo gains access to Progressive’s broad distribution by offering its home protection with potential multi-policy discounts to consumers shopping with Progressive.

“Progressive’s strong focus on technology and serving the broad needs of its customers complement our proactive and tech-driven approach to home insurance,” said Rick McCathron, President and CEO of Hippo. “Working with Progressive, Hippo can leverage data and technology to deliver more personalized coverage and a superior customer experience.”

Hippo’s work with Progressive builds on Hippo’s focused efforts to improve loss ratios through a disciplined, data-driven approach to underwriting. The collaboration leverages Progressive’s strong distribution capabilities and long track record of delivering an exemplary customer experience, while providing Hippo access to a large customer base aligned with its underwriting appetite.

“Across our property carriers, we prioritize our customers’ needs, from personalized coverage selection to seamless experience from quote to claim,” said Azadeh Hardiman, GM, Acquisition Experience Strategy at Progressive. “We’re proud to work with organizations like Hippo that make it easier for homeowners to find the protection they need and receive the service they expect at every step.”

The collaboration underscores Hippo’s focus on growing a diversified portfolio through disciplined underwriting and continuous portfolio optimization, while expanding distribution with aligned third parties.
