Review of the Saga, Car Insurance:

Best insurer yet

I use my car abroad a lot and Saga are the only insurer I have found to offer the cover I want. Reviewed on: 11th September 2020

Very Disappointed

I have used Saga insurance products for years for Home, Travel and Car and always found them fantastic. Unfortunately, we had an accident in our car recently and Saga handed us over to the mercies of AXA who are the underwriters. They have been abysmal. It has taken us almost three weeks to get to the stage where the repairs can be carried out. They asked to collect the car this afternoon and I made it abundantly clear that I could not be left without a car as we are going away on holiday on Monday. The car is driveable and so we would have just about managed with it until we got back. Our policy states that we are entitled to a guaranteed replacement car. They said that it shouldn't be a problem but they could not organise the replacement car until our car was collected. Within half an hour of collection they emailed me to inform me that they were not going to provide a replacement car - even though it states guaranteed on the policy - because they don't provide cars for holiday use. They must have known that before they picked up the car and we would have asked them to wait to collect the car until our return. They have left us stranded, I am a Blue Badge holder, we are both elderly and they do not care. Disgusting service and basically downright lies. Reviewed on: 7th September 2023

Bad Customer service

Suspended my account on another site. No wonder Saga get high scores when bad reviews aren't published. Twice I waited 25 minutes to be hung up on. No answer to my complaint Reviewed on: 5th September 2023

64% mega-hike in car insurance premium

Saga increased by premium by 64%, over £200! Are they having a laugh? If thats not bad enough they have still charged my credit card even through I cancelled it !! Went to Axa and got better cover for only £30 more than last year. Will never have any dealings with this bunch of thieves again. Reviewed on: 5th September 2023

Rediculous high price increase

Last year my insurance was £271 the renewal this year was £809, no claims or convictions looked elsewhere and saved nearly £500. Reviewed on: 5th September 2023

A very responsive Insurer

Always found someone to talk to who was able to answer my question. Generally response time was very quickly. Reviewed on: 30th August 2023

3 year fixed price

last year I should have had an automatic renewal of my 3 year fixed price. They did not renew as I had not informed them of my redit card renewal and I had to pay the new increased price pus service charge. This year the price is the same as last year but despite several attempts to renew online after receipt of my renewal letter I am unable to do so as my docs. are temporary unavailable. I have tried numerous times to phone but such a long waiting list. SAGA for the ederly? Do they not realise minutes or more wasted are so precious. Reviewed on: 27th August 2023

They do not answer the phone

I spent 30 minuets waiting for a call connection then gave up. I tried again and got the same result. Discussing!!!! Reviewed on: 25th August 2023

Saga is Super

I have always liked dealing with Saga. They are very helpful and informative and also you don't have to wait for hours to speak to someone. Reviewed on: 25th August 2023

Paying for what we don't have

A 40% increase this year which appears from the paperwork to be to provide for extra costs associated with Electric Vehicles. We have a 20+ year old ICE car and the renewal left us a relatively short time to look elswhere. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2023

Yearly increase in premium

In my second year my premium was increased significantly but I stayed with the company as I was in the middle of a house move and it was one less thing to deal with. I have now read horror stories on line as to how much premiums have gone up this year with SAGA so I await with Fred this year’s quote, will certainly change provider if there is a big increase.
