If you are in any doubt whether a change needs to be advised, please contact Customer Services on 0845 900 8009.

You can amend your quotation by clicking on the ‘Retrieve a saved quote’ button on the car insurance homepage, and then proceed as instructed.

No Claim Discount (NCD) is an earned discount that is applied for every year that a driver has insurance on a car without making a claim. Saga’s maximum No Claim Discount is four years, which equates to a 60% discount.

Once you have the maximum No Claim Discount (NCD) of four years and if you have not had an accident or made more than one claim in the last two years, Saga can protect your No Claim Discount for an additional premium. This means that your No Claim Discount will remain unaffected if you do not have more than two fault claims in five consecutive years of insurance.

We may ask you to provide proof of your No Claim Discount entitlement. Originals or photocopies are acceptable in the following forms:

• previous insurer’s Renewal Notice; or
• No Claim Discount letter or card.

If you have had the sole personal use of a company car (e.g. have had a car reserved for your own use both for work and for pleasure purposes) but have lost it due to retirement, change in position or due to changes in taxation laws, you will be allowed NCD in accordance with the number of claim free years immediately preceding the start date of your motor insurance policy.

You will be sent a renewal invitation 21 days before your renewal date which will include your premium for the coming year.

If you pay by Direct Debit or credit card, we will automatically renew your policy each year using the payment details you have given us. Your documents will be issued approximately ten days before renewal. Please contact us prior to your renewal date if you wish to renew using a different payment method or to cancel your policy.

You should automatically receive your documents at least 21 days before your renewal date. Your new premium should be available 25 days before the renewal date for you to make changes to your policy.

You can renew and make certain amends to your policy or payment method by clicking here. For any other renewal queries, or if you would prefer to call us, please contact our Customer Service department on 0845 900 7078.

If you are paying by Direct Debit or continuous credit card and your payment details are still the same as last year, for your convenience we will automatically renew your policy. You will receive your acceptance documents within five days of the renewal date to show the insurance is in place.

When you take out or renew your policy and pay by credit card, you have an option to pay by continuous authority. If you chose this method it means that we will hold your details securely on file until next year and automatically renew your policy. You will receive your acceptance documents before the renewal date, but we will take payment on the renewal date.

To cancel your policy please return your Certificate of Motor Insurance to the address shown on the reverse of the Certificate. Please complete the section ‘Reason for return of Certificate’, writing only in the boxes supplied. You will be entitled to a pro rata refund providing you have made no claims within the policy year (there will be an administration fee of up to £50 if you cancel your policy mid-term).

Direct Debit is a safe, convenient and secure way to pay. It means you will never miss a payment and you’ll always be covered even if you’re away at your renewal date.

When you pay by Direct Debit we’ll let you know before your renewal date the amount that will be paid and when, and tell you in advance about any forthcoming changes.

You can also pay for your car insurance by, credit card, debit card or cheque. (Please note that if you choose to pay by cheque there will be a £3 administration fee).
