Find out all about Saga car insurance policies and see what customers think of their service
Saga offers an array of financial products and services designed for and exclusively available to those aged 50+, including insurance, holidays, healthcare and a monthly magazine.
Although Saga is an insurance provider, the motor policies are underwritten by a panel of around seven insurers such as AXA, Covea, ABC and Zenith, as well as its own in-house underwriter AICL.
When it comes to car insurance, Saga stands out from the competition, often coming in the top of best buy tables in terms of quality of cover and customer service.
It’s important to remember it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison when it comes to car insurance: the options and features on car insurance policies are wide, not all policies carry the same features.
Defaqto - 5 stars
According to Defaqto – the independent financial products review organisation – Saga's car insurance has earned 5 out of 5 Stars, making it 'an excellent product with a comprehensive range of features and benefits’.
Trustpilot – 4.6 stars
On customer review platform Trustpilot, Saga has 4.6 out of 5 stars and a rating of Excellent, based on more than 14,000 reviews.
The review site shows that customers appreciate the simple application process, efficient service and easy renewal, but some reported price hikes on renewal, which they were not happy about.
Saga has become one of the UK’s leading insurance providers for the over-50s.
Customers need to be over 50 years old to qualify for car cover with Saga, but the insurer has no upper age limit and comes with a large number of value-added benefits. However, these generous terms come at a cost, with premiums higher than the market average.
Bear in mind that you won’t find all of Saga’s motor insurance policies on comparison websites.
