Review of the Saga, Travel insurance:

Great value for money- simple to arrange and good levels of cover

5
My wife and I went on holiday earlier this year with our two grown up children and we wanted a family travel insurance policy to cover us as a group. We used Saga and found the whole process very simple and quick. Underwriting is on line. Having seen a doctor within the past 12 months about something quite minor, I found other providers wanted to increase my premium by an amount I felt was unreasonable. However, with Saga, the underwriting was completed on line and the whole process was simple. Whilst there was a slight increase in premium it was significantly lower than other providers had quoted. The lower cost did ont come at the expense of cover. The policy provided good levels of cover for various situations and reasonable exclusions. The whole process was quick and simple from start to finish and I'll be using Saga to cover my next holiday. Reviewed on: 5th November 2015

Saga's annual travel policy ticks all the boxes.

5
Saga's annual travel policy is really good value for money and covers all the essentials. It also amply covers the costs in case of cancellation and provides generous health cover. Even if I only have one holiday per year Saga's annual insurance compares very favourably with the one off policies available. Reviewed on: 28th September 2025

Customer care on my enquiry was excellent.

Customer care on my enquiry was excellent. They were patient at helping me through steps I couldn’t understand and reassuring me everything was in order. This was so important to know that I could go away on my holiday knowing I would be able to liaise with helpful individuals who had my interests at heart. Reviewed on: 28th September 2025

I was admitted to hospital for five days. Saga organised a new flight home and a flight nurse (having had pneumonia). They liaised with my son through the whole procedure and I was so appreciative of the professional work the team must have done to get me home, right to my door, accompanied by the flight nurse.

Insurance Claim Experience

It is not until you need to make a claim can you truly judge an insurance policy. Having recently had to make a claim which was successfully completed with comprehensive efficiency, I can recommend Saga Travel and therefore have renewed my policy for another year. Reviewed on: 27th September 2025

Brilliant Staff & Easy Process

Saga Travel Insurance staff couldn't have been more helpful when we needed to cancel our holiday due to sudden serious illness. The whole process went very smoothly and we got all our money back. It was very welcome at a very stressful time. Reviewed on: 27th September 2025
