No hassle No problems with Saga at all. Easy to deal with. Slightly pricier than expected. No claim so can't comment regarding claims or disputes. Reviewed on: 8th February 2026

Serious leg injury in USA, Christmas Day 2024.

5
I was in the USA for Christmas in 2024. On Christmas Day I slipped on an icy patch and ruptured the quadriceps tendon in my right leg. My right leg completely stopped functioning. A friend drove me to an hospital in New Hampshire, where I was given numerous X-rays and a scan , and seen by an orthopaedic surgeon. My leg then needed to be kept straight in a brace until it could be operated on back in the UK., and the hospital gave me crutches. I contacted Saga. The person who I spoke to was brilliantly helpful and knowledgeable. He transferred my return flight to a different airline from the one I was booked on, because they were quicker to accept me as ‘fit to fly’; upgraded me so I could keep my leg straight, and arranged for assistance at both airports plus a car to collect me on landing in England. All very smoothly done with no hassle or worrying, and all costs covered. I couldn’t have wanted better. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 25th September 2025
