“Not the very cheapest on motor insurance,but on comparison with other policies, offered competitive terms and cover.so I renewed for a further year. However,the renewal deal was done on the phone the day before the renewal,but having paid £276 for a Lexus 250 SE-L, I had letters from SAGA yesterday saying renew at £249 ,which I am questioning. It may be the application of £25 for Admin,which I disagree with. If you buy a policy you do not expect the insurance company to charge you a fee for the paperwork ? Most deals these days are on-line,so no printing of paper for the insurer,only for the client should copies be needed,UNLESS YOU INSIST on paper copies by post. Even then it seems like a premium has been added,a bit like the 20% automatically on USA restaurant bills to pay for the staff!!!! They wanted to sell other stuff,home insurance,cruises etc and issue e-mails on their other products,so they can keep the sales curve intact over time. Of course you can refuse this. Overall I have no massive negatives(£25 admin fee aside), like all commercial business's they want to sell you more,you just have to be ready to say no,should you wish to. So far the e-mail paper response has been quick.”

“Not always my choice, as not always the best value, but always in top four and often the best. Their call centre seems better informed than most and more willing to help.”

“Quote was very good and less than my previous insurers. Only minus point is that you do not get physical documents, they are only available on line and I do like to have actual insurance docs. I know I could download, but will only do so if I need them.”

“I got a quote with a NCD. was then told it does not apply and would need a new quote they delayed this quote so that the time expired for me to cancel whist coming up with a ridiculous new quote so it was either pay up or pay up a cancellation fee. To add to bitter taste they sent me a letter confirming my NCB. Would never trust them again especially if a claim was involved. my advice stay clear.”

“3rd March 2018 - extremely busy time for SAGA and all insurance companies should be NO EXCUSE for neglecting the conditions of the insurances. MY 88 year old Aunt has paid for years, her cold water tank froze and brought down the ceiling into her sitting room/dining area/kitchen - water went into the bedroom she was sleeping in - so lucky she wasn't underneath the collapse. She was assigned an agent to take care of her only to find he phoned her bungalow phone number - she couldn't be there - she had to go to her son's - the care has been almost nil - she should have been offered a hotel that day, plus a promise of when the builders could start - they are dragging their heels and not fulfilling their side of the contract. The stress may kill her. The family are of course doing their best but she is in quite a state-she needs to be told what will and won't happen and when. rubbish service. 6April 2018”

“Terrible!Just checked my 88 year old mothers insurance and discovered she was being charged over£600pa for her very basic home +contents cover. They were unable to offer better, so we went on comparison website +found better cover for £110pa. They should be ashamed”

“Saga's Home Emergency Insurance is not worth the paper it is written on. During a recent very cold spell, our boiler refused to start one morning and would not respond to the usual trick of hot water on the condensate pipe. After trying for almost an hour I decided to call the SAGA Home Emergency Insurance number. I was greeted by a recording telling me that due to the inclement weather there has been unprecedented demands on their resources and I should call out a local tradesman and reclaim the cost back from them. What ....?? We are an elderly, vulnerable couple now in a home without any heating whatsoever with outside temperatures of -4 deg C and no other telephone number was provided so that we could speak to someone and explain our position. Our roads were not blocked by snow: traffic was moving freely. I took out this insurance so that THEY would initiate the call-out. In the end I resolved the problem myself and also resolved to get some compensation back from SAGA. However, as noted on this and other review sites, SAGA just pass the buck. They just don't want to know. Despite their name being plastered everywhere on the Home Emergency information booklets they claim that the underwriters (AXA-Assistance) are totally responsible. So Mr SAGA why is it named SAGA Home Eergency Insurance? Why do I pay SAGA? Why do SAGA provide ALL the documentation? Don't be fooled by the 5* Defaqto rating. That is based on what they say they will provide and not what actually happens in pratice - as I discovered. I will never go back to SAGA, I cannot forgive them for this one. I recommend you think twice before spending money on this useless insurance.”

“Please be very careful when obtaining car insurance through Saga. We had been with Saga for a couple of years but when in November the latest renewal came through it had jumped in price drastically, so we decided not to renew as our old car simply wasn't worth it and we planned to upgrade the car in the next few months. We then spoke to an advisor on the phone who sold us a policy which we believed to be renewed automatically every 3 months unless cancelled by us without penalty. This seemed the perfect scenario as we didn't want to incur additional admin costs etc. which some less reputable companies charge. So, less than 3 months later we sold the car and informed Saga immediately. To our surprise a few days later a demand for over £80 landed on the doorstep claiming we owed this due to curtailment of the 12 months insurance. This is not what we were led to believe. However, we were told this was in the terms and conditions and of course can't prove otherwise. What makes matters worse is that the car was only worth £100 in part exchange value! I think it is disgraceful that a company like Saga who we always thought of as a company to treat older people with dignity and respect should lower themselves to such money grabbing exercise. I would not expect a company like Saga to deal with such underwriters and certainly will now never deal with Saga on any level, be it insurance, holidays or anything else ever again nor recommend.”

“Easy to do. Hope Saga will be competitive when I renew the insurance on my other car.”

“It is very important for potential Saga customers to realise that Saga are merely brokers and hand on the insurance to little known insurance companies who are immune to contact when there is a major issue. 10 weeks on I have been unable to resolve the buildings claim on my mother's property and am facing, according to Saga a further 4 weeks delay. I would like to post a favourable review for Saga but until this issue is resolved that is impossible.”

“After an incident involving my vehicle, Saga arranged a replacement car to be delivered to my house, and my own vehicle to be picked up for repair. The repairs were carried out by their recommend dealer. This was all arranged with one telephone call.”
