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

How the life of a claimant was made easier.

5
I recently had a need to make a claim. The lady at Saga was most helpful and endeavoured to minimise the work I needed to do to allow the claim to be assessed. This was exemplified by her over-riding the request of a more inexperienced colleague to provide more written information. Everything was conducted by phone and although I was asked to hold evidence for four weeks in case auditors required proof of my verbal statements, in the end this did not happen. Payment was made promptly and actually appeared in my bank account quicker than I was expecting. I am most satisfied with my experience of the claims process. Reviewed on: 19th August 2025

Good Value Travel Insurance

5
Renewed our Worldwide Travel Insurance policy with Saga recently. They still offer good value for money, even for pre-existing medical conditions. The policy also offers superior cancellation cover in comparison to other brands which was important for an upcoming trip to Thailand. Reviewed on: 18th August 2025

Health issues

5
Have some health issues which were graciously accepted by the Underwriter and I was happy to take a voluntary increased excess so an excellent product was agreed by both parties Reviewed on: 18th August 2025

Great travel with Sagathis year...

5
We travelled with Saga for the first time this year on one of their river cruises, we were so impressed with all the help we received during our travels with Saga, everyone was so helpful especially with my husband who is not very mobile. We were so pleased that we have booked another holiday next year. Reviewed on: 18th August 2025

Very unsatisfactory Customer Service so far

1
We have been trying to sort out our claim for two months only being able to use emails which are never replied to and no telephone call to sort out matters arising. So we are now investigating the complaints process - I must say I am very disappointed as they market themselves on customer service which we are actually finding to be very poor.
