Ali’s been at Saga Insurance since she graduated and for the last 15 years has been looking after our motor cover. She’s dedicated to making Saga Car Insurance the best it can be and is proud of its range of features developed for life after 50.
Ali says, “Our customers are at the heart of what we do – we all genuinely care about that. Trust is a key part of choosing an insurance provider, and our customers get peace of mind knowing that we pay out on 99% of claims.
"We pack Saga Car Insurance full of features that customers value, such as our Protected No Claim Discount being included as standard on Saga Plus and Select, which makes us better than 99% of the market. No Claim Discount is a badge of honour – it shows you're an experienced, safe driver, and our customers tell us that protecting it is important to them. Which means it's important to us too.
Expert advice from Ali
- If you’re with Saga Car Insurance, write down 0800 001 5424 and put it in your car’s glovebox.
It’s the 24-hour claims number. That way, if your phone battery’s low or you need to call from someone else’s phone, you’ve got the number to hand in an emergency. - Keyless cars are attractive to thieves and the tech doesn’t deter them.
Add a more traditional anti-theft device such as a steering wheel lock or a hefty padlock to gates. This will put criminals off as they can’t make a quick and quiet getaway. - When you’re renewing or getting a quote, don’t guesstimate details such as your annual mileage.
Review every detail to make it as up to date as possible so you’re getting the best price and right cover for your driving circumstances.

"Most modern vehicles are fitted with pollen filters which prevent potential allergens from entering the cabin when the air conditioning is being used. However, these filters tend to become clogged and inefficient over time and are rarely replaced.
Poor airflow from the aircon unit is the biggest indicator. Drivers then often resort to opening their windows instead on a warm day which only exacerbates hay fever symptoms."
"A flat battery is a leading cause of breakdowns in the UK and is particularly common for vehicles that typically only make short journeys. Before a long trip, take your car out for a 30-minute journey to fully recharge the battery."
