Saga Home insurance reviews (2707)

Review of the Saga, Home insurance:

Woefully poor emergency claims experience

1
We are in the middle of an ongoing and still unresolved EMERGENCY PLUMBING CLAIM after four and a half weeks. The Claims team don’t understand about basic customer service, saying they’ll get back you and then nothing happens so we always have to phone them - our phone time to them is now about ten hours. They use an emergency plumber that you can’t contact over the weekends. You can’t ever speak to the same person twice even if you have their name, neither will they give you the Network Manager’s name or contact details nor put you through to anyone who can actually make a decision. It’s “not their protocol” apparently so you’re at the mercy of one of 80 telephone operators who aren’t allowed to make decisions and just sound bored as they repeat ad nauseam “there’s nothing I can do”. I actually doubt the Network Manager exists, because they should have contacted us yesterday and we’re still waiting. They also demonstrate poor competence - they arranged for a second plumber to contact us; heard nothing so we phoned them - turns out they don’t even do the type of work we need and had told Saga that but Saga didn’t bother to let us know. Our claim has been escalated to the invisible Network Manager so now no one in the Claims team can do anything apparently, not even to arrange for another (third or fourth by now?!) plumber - meanwhile we’ve been 4 and a half weeks without water! We have lodged our complaint and were supposed to have heard from the Complaints team on Monday - to date have heard nothing. I can’t find anything about their emergency KPIs, probably because they know they won’t meet them. Meanwhile the leak is getting worse, we are STILL awaiting a plumber (great emergency service!) and this claim is costing Saga more by the day due to their total incompetence.

Just received my renewal it has increased by more than double .Great difficulty contacting them to cancel and get written verification,, received verification without date . After considerable effort got through to them again once again received verification and they have cancelled it 25 days before its expiry ,I wouldn't touch them again with a barge pole.

Good comprehensive insurance and very reasonably priced too. Great customer service. I would definitely recommend. With the 3 year guaranteed price cap the renewal price remains the same unless you make a claim. Reviewed on: 9th October 2025

We have been with Saga for quite a few years now, both for home and car insurance, and we highly rate the customer service. The representatives are friendly courteous and knowledgeable. The costs are fair and we feel have confidence that in the event should we need them, they will cover our needs. Reviewed on: 29th September 2025
