Saga Home insurance reviews (2709)

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.

Great value and excellent claim service.

Excellent service

I was put on a 3 year fixed price plan and true to their word I haven't had a price increase for 2 years. I am now in my 3rd year. I haven't made a claim so cannot review on a claim process Reviewed on: 30th September 2021

We have both car and home insurance with Saga and couldn’t be happier. We did try other companies but always come back “home” to Saga. Why? Because we get an excellent level of cover for car, household, garden, and building at a reasonable cost. And Legal protection is added for no cost. The customer service team are friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and deal with things there and then. They ring you back as promised and even when making a claim are friendly and helpful and often, they think of things you have forgotten. Thank you very much Saga. Reviewed on: 30th September 2021

Break in

5
I had a break in at my house with quite a substantial amount of money and items taken. I rang Saga and could not believe how helpful and understanding they were. All was sorted so quickly and easily. I can’t thank them enough. Reviewed on: 30th September 2021

No problems!

Any calls are answered promptly, not put on hold/in a queue listening to Vivaldi for ages. Friendly, professional, efficient staff - what’s not to like? Have been with them for an number of years - would highly recommend. Reviewed on: 30th September 2021

No fuss insurance

Been with Saga Home Insurance for some years. Never had an issue and the premiums are sensible. Good all-rounder. Reviewed on: 30th September 2021
