Value for money

Excellent cover and cares about the customer Reviewed on: 20th August 2020

saga is great

I needed to renew my car insurance & my current providers quote had gone up considerably! I looked for an alternative & Saga came up with the goods! Not only cheaper but offering more for my money! A win win all round! Reviewed on: 5th August 2020

Excellent service

Broke my wrist when in Corfu and my experience from the prompt medical attention to dealing with the insurance claim, everything was dealt with in a most professional manner. Reviewed on: 5th August 2020

Excellent premiums and value for money.

Brilliant claims team. Premium was fair. Coverage was great. No need to buy add ons like with staysure. Everything was covered easily. Reviewed on: 4th August 2020

The best

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff Reviewed on: 4th August 2020

Will actually cover you if things go wrong

Read all the small print before choosing a Travel Insurance provider, they are a bit more expensive, but they pay out when it really matters Reviewed on: 9th July 2019

SAGA, overcharging for phone quotes by more than double

My grandma (who is 84, but well) rang up SAGA as her yearly travel insurance was due to run out, as she was only due to take one trip this year, she requested a price for a 2 week holiday. She thought it was expensive but thought it was just due to her age, so paid the £300. She then spoke to me, I thought that this was rather extortionate and checked on online price comparison sites, where I could get the same insurance, from SAGA, for around £120. She rang them back (within 2 hours of taking the policy out) and they refused to do anything. Their only defence was that "the policy sold over the phone had £12 million cover rather than the £10 million available online. I have also complained to them and received a very bog standard reply admitting that the £2 million was the only difference in the products From a company specialising in the elderly, this seems very unfair behaviour. She was not renewing an existing policy, and was not given the option of a cheaper policy on the phone (who would pay nearly £200 extra for that extra £2 million cover on top of the £10 million available?!). This seems like a very shady practice on their part, especially given a large proportion of their customers likely do not use the internet for insurance quotes. Reviewed on: 4th March 2019

Service Extraordinaire

Lost my wallet on Tenerife - cash, cards etc. Returned home, chatted to a very nice chap on the phone. Three days later all my losses were refunded into my bank. No papers to fill in, no waiting, no messing about. As I said in my heading, Service Extraordinare"." Reviewed on: 1st August 2017

Help when needed

My sister died and I had to cancel my holiday. I phoned saga and they sent me a claim form for the doctor to fill in. The doctor couldn't really help, so they phoned him. They then suggested that I contacted the hospital. I did this, and after a month the hospital replied. The saga contact did most of the work for me, by telling me what to do. (Insurance claims can be a bit of a minefield). Reviewed on: 26th August 2016

Fortunately I didn't have to use this insurance. However I was given a good discount on the quote that I was given and it was a really good deal.

I was happy with the origional quote that I was given and went on to compare this with other companies, however I decided to stay with Saga and when I actually made the booking there was a substantial saving which was very pleasing. Reviewed on: 5th June 2016
