Hippo - do NOT give them your mobile number

Do NOT provide your cell phone number to hippo. They will give it out to all the companies that come up in your search. I received 90 calls in two days after I looked for comparative quotes on car insurance, very often receiving seven, eight calls back to back. At NO point did I authorise hippo to provide my contact number to any of these companies. Two weeks later I am STILL receiving unwanted calls.

'By entering your information and clicking "Next" you consent to Hippo processing your personal information in order to provide the services and you accept our Terms of Use.' - read the fine print in the terms of use. There is no option to advise them NOT to give your information out to anyone they deem fit. I did not ask for any of these companies to contact me, I only wanted comparative quotes.

Hi Michelle,

Thank you for such important feedback. We have tried to look for and remove your number from our database but it does not exist. Please provide us with the number in question for our team to investigate further.

Kind regards
