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

For obvious reasons we could not afford to insure for world travel this year. But Saga gave us a very competitive quote for European travel with all the same benefits Due to our own personal finances we decided that world travel would mean less holidays but chaging to Europe travel would allow us to take additional holidays and save ourselves to enjoy another year of holidays Reviewed on: 25th September 2025

I haven’t had to claim, but the excess for health problems is very reasonable and the people on the phone are always knowledgeable and helpful. I also feel very confident that if I did have an accident on holiday the expenses side would be settled with no problem. Reviewed on: 25th September 2025

Cancellation Claim ..

Cancellation Claim. In general very helpful when we had to make a claim earlier this year. However, we did have remind them to send the claim form which was a bit worrying, but the claim was eventually resolved successfully. Reviewed on: 25th September 2025
