How to Cancel Hippo Insurance
Skycopia rates Hippo Insurance as medium to cancel, and you'll have to call. Expect some friction and probably an offer to stay, not a one-click exit.
🔍 The founder's own audit flagged $19,207/yr — 62 recurring charges out of 6,027 transactions, real numbers as of July 2026.
Cancellation line: (800) 585-0705
Cancelling is the easy part — making it stick is the hard part. Skycopia watches the charge from both sides: a nudge before the renewal date so you don't miss your window, and an alert if Hippo Insurance bills you again after you've cancelled. It reads your bank data and keeps you on top of your cancellations and subscriptions.
Free to set up — no card needed.
Ready to cancel it yourself? Sky can walk you through it one step at a time — or just read the steps below.
Cancellation steps
- 1
Line up your new home insurance policy's start date first — lenders require continuous coverage if you have a mortgage, so don't leave a gap
- 2
Call (800) 585-0705 or email support@hippo.com and ask to cancel — there's no self-serve cancel button in the Hippo app or portal
- 3
Hippo requires written notice of cancellation naming your name, policy number, the insured home's address, your contact number, the effective cancellation date, and an address to mail any refund of unearned premium
- 4
Ask for confirmation in writing and check your next statement to make sure billing actually stopped
Or have Sky walk you through it one step at a time, with the right page open beside this one — then watch your bank data to confirm the charge actually stopped.
Charged again after cancelling? Dispute it with your card issuer — the steps above are your proof you cancelled, and the date you did it. Skycopia flags a zombie rebill the moment it lands, so you catch it inside the dispute window instead of six months later.

What should I watch out for when cancelling Hippo Insurance?
There's no online self-cancel option — Hippo's FAQ specifies cancellation must be a written notice, not just a phone request, so follow up the call with an email or letter covering all the required details. Refunds cover only the unearned (unused) portion of your premium.
Is cancelling Hippo Insurance the same as deleting my account?
No — cancelling stops the billing but usually leaves the account (and its data) open. Cancel first so you aren't charged again, then delete the account through Hippo Insurance's account or privacy settings, or ask their support to erase it.
