Saga Travel insurance reviews (1074)

Ridiculous price

Paid £700 to insure my husband and me for 5 week trip to Australia. Expensive but my husband has prostate cancer that has been treated and is now managed by hormone injections every 3 months. Tried to insure again for a 12-day holiday in the Dominican Republic for a family wedding. Quoted £1780. Rang to argue that he would not need treatment in those 12 days but was told ‘computer says no.’ No discussion. The whole point of Saga is insurance for the elderly but when it costs as much as the tickets, it’s ridiculous. Now insured for half the price with ‘Staysure’. Reviewed on: 30th July 2022

wont pay when you had medical emergency

My wife had a trip to Turkey for one month and I insured her for 45 days and chose Saga as which magazine recommended them. Policy nr:337277. Durin the trip she got sever infection Shingles and went to see a doctor and received some medication and now she has a scar on her face and her back as a result of this infection. when we send the claim Saga refused to accept it saying that the cost of Dr visit and medication is below the excess. Although the exchange rate at the it means they do not pay you for after care that she needs in UK to get rid of the scars she has got if she can! and nothing for the pain and suffering !

Excellent customer service

Had a really easy time purchasing Saga Travel insurance. Agents were friendly and answered my questions about what myself and my husband are covered for while Covid exists. Reviewed on: 8th October 2021

Excellent service

I needed travel insurance for my husband and myself. We both have medical problems and Saga offered a good price. I had a further query and the representative I spoke to could not have kinder or more helpful.it was very reassuring for us both. Reviewed on: 7th October 2021

Comprehensive cover

One of the few firms to offer cover to older customers that includes active pursuits and non standard holidays without requiring excess payments. This means the actual cost of comprehensive cover is really competitive. Reviewed on: 6th October 2021

Peace of mind

Peace of mind is what Saga Travel Insurance gives its customers. This is particularly in the current testing times. Great support and excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 6th October 2021

Clear, straightforward and supported by well uniformed staff.

The great personal benefit for me was that I didn’t actually need to call upon the service - just knowing I would br taken care of filled me with confidence to go on the organised excursions. Reviewed on: 6th October 2021

Get Covered With Saga

The Saga website is simple to use and their pricing is very fair. They also insure many people who cannot get holiday cover with other companies. I recommend Saga to anyone. Reviewed on: 6th October 2021
