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.

Very Competitive Prices

Cost of the best home insurance package is excellent much lower than any other company. They have also quoted me for our renewal for two cars in November again very impressed and will definitely be changing from Admiral. Very pleased that charges are no longer incurred for amending policies. Have also used them in the past for travel insurance and will do so again when we are brave enough to go abroad! Would highly recommend Saga and it also helps that their customer services is excellent, very friendly and helpful staff. Reviewed on: 29th September 2021

So good to talk to people who want the best possible cover for you. No “hard” selling going and everything dealt with in a professional and friendly way. When I needed to make a claim the representative was extremely efficient and concluded expeditiously Reviewed on: 29th September 2021

Smooth, efficient, economical, why would I go elsewhere?

An insurance policy for your home is not meant to be worrying or a cause of high drama. I look for a straightforward process which is easy to deal with the at a decent price which covers real risk properly. It’s simple really. Reviewed on: 29th September 2021
