In safe hands

Saga car insurance is competitively priced, easy to understand with no hidden extras. They are happy to provide paper copies if required. Extra bonus is being able to join the saga on line club Reviewed on: 31st July 2020

Excellent service

We have used Saga for insurance for many years now. When we were burgled they were most helpful, and again when we had a leak in the bathroom to the office below, got a plumber in and sorted. Reviewed on: 31st July 2020

Behaving like a back street tin-pot insurer

1
I'm sure many people have had a similar experience. Car accident, not my fault, car needs repairing. Should be straightforward yes? Especially with a top drawer company like Saga with a 5 star rating? Don't you believe it. Incomplete repairs, quibbling over rectification of incomplete repairs, multiple phone calls to people trained in the art of obfuscation and sloping shoulders. I've been with Saga for years, never had a claim and now I'm being treated like the dirt on their shoes. An absolutely appalling company - all shiny at the front but awol when it comes to fulfilling their obligations. Reviewed on: 19th March 2020

Amazing incompetence... Chocolate Tea-Pot!

1
We have received a letter today acknowledging my telephone complaint made in DECEMBER 2017, asking if I would like to follow it up? Today is FEB 22nd 2020!! We have long since gone to a professional insurance company, and will steer away from your door. All the pensioners taking out new policies, at what they think to be very good premium, should consider the most important issue of 'if they have to make a claim' what is this companies track record like? Read the feedback, and don't say you weren't warned. Taking the premium is one thing, paying out is a completely different one. Sorry Richard Smith, not impressed at all with Saga, or should I say A RIGHT SAGA of a COMPANY. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2020

Awful company

1
Company ok until you have to claim then you will regret ever going with them. Worse insurance company i have ever been with & I'm 61. 4 months to resolve & I'm out of pocket by over a £1000 in an accident i was totally innocent in. Pay a bit extra & go with a company more competent & more professional just in case you need to claim. Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

Couldn't find my dad's car

1
My father was involved in an accident. The day after the accident we gave SAGA all the information they needed and Saga arranged for the car to be collected the next day, which it was. Monday came and my dad's curiosity car turned up, but the garage that was going to repaired said they hadn't got the car - alarm bells were ringing by this point. A tow truck had come to collect the car on Friday the day after the accident and I'd handed them the key because it was expected. Forty minutes passed and despite being told by SAGA they hadn't arranged or authorised the garage for the vehicle to be collected they confirmed it had been collected and was with a completely different garage. My dad was stressing and I was stressing as well. Completely useless, I won't be using them when I get to that age and my dad will be using something else after this episode.

Can't issue a letter of Indemnity in 24 hours or even 4 days - shocking....

1
On the 5.10.2019 I was stopped for no Insurance and issued with a ticket to produce within 7 days. Reference my Schedule at the time advised XYZ (reg Number) - however you have issued the certificate in 123, vehicle therefore shows as uninsured and not on MIB or polica data base. I Request an updated certificate (You can't back date them)(unbelievable) which shows cover from 6.10 - This is no use as I have to prove cover was in place and on that plate on the 5th or prior too. I'm then informed a letter of indemnity can be provided but, 'can take 6 to 10 days'. In the age of on line policies which are provided in seconds 'surely' the required letter (which must be a template) can also be provided equally expediently - given it's your error in the first place? "We'll ask for it to be sent recorded" - but when??? I can't use my car and have a clock ticking before a summons is potentially issued against me. I've now called three times spent over an hour explaining this time and time again and am no further forward - 'managers' won't or don't take escalation calls' or ownership at any level to resolve this. Given your technically in breach of contract by providing the wrong documents and you seem both totally unable to grasp the policyholder predicament I am in (no car for 5 days) or do anything to resolve the matter swiftly. I have taken my option to raise this with the FOS and would welcome your timely response and solution before tomorrow 3pm Thursday 10.10.2019. All I want is a simple letter(or email copy preferably) that shows YOU insured the car under the above registration prior to the 5.10.2019, how hard can it be??!! Totally at a loss for words and thoroughly disappointed with the service which I shall share in social media channels and a wider audience unless I get a response to resolve this Reviewed on: 9th October 2019
