  • Call-back service – Buying a policy and understanding insurance can feel overwhelming. Sometimes you may need a little extra time to digest things, so that’s why we're always happy to call you back at a better time. Just tell us if that's what you want at any point in the conversation.

Talk on your terms

You'll find the best way to get in touch and the right number to ring on our contact us page or chat with us now .

We'd love to know if we can make things better for you, or someone you represent, when it comes to dealing with your insurance.

You can tell us how we can you help you more by giving us some pointers on the Saga Insurance Support Services form.

Just knowing a bit more about about you means we can bear these things in mind whenever you call and you won't have to explain your situation or requirements every time.

It could be anything – money worries, stressful life events, health issues or communication considerations. You can tell us in complete confidence and with no effect on your cover.

It doesn't matter how long you want us to keep your circumstances in mind – you can tell us about a short-term or temporary situation or something that will always be the case. If the options provided on the form do not apply to your situation, call or chat with us now .

What support services can Saga provide?

I'm having some money worries – can you help?

Yes. We are here to help, so if you're struggling with covering the cost of your insurance, please call us on the number listed in your policy documents or chat with us now .

We understand that lots of things can lead to financial difficulty – our friendly team will discuss your individual circumstances in order to assess your needs. This may include removing elements of cover you no longer require. Changes like this could reduce your premium, and making sure your details are up to date has the added benefit of enabling us to give you an accurate price at renewal. We may be able to review your monthly payment amounts or give you more time to make your payments.

It's important that you don't cancel your payments or Direct Debits as this could mean your policy is cancelled and you are uninsured. Please don't wait until you miss a payment to talk to us – we're always happy to talk things through with you and together we will be able to discuss what payment options are best for you.

How do I let you know that a loved one has passed away?

We understand that losing a loved one is a very difficult time and the last thing you want to be doing is sorting out paperwork.

You can deal with things at your own pace with the online Saga Insurance Bereavement Service. There's information about what you need to know and what you need to do. You can give us details online if your loved one had home and/or car insurance with us.

There's a lot to take in when talking about insurance. Is there anything that can make it easier?

We know that insurance can be complicated – some of the questions we ask can seem technical and might be difficult to understand. It’s important that you are comfortable and confident that your insurance meets your needs.

To help us help you:

  • Don’t be worried about asking questions
  • Don’t be afraid to ask us to repeat a question
  • Please tell us if you need us to slow down or speak up or would like us to explain things in more detail
  • If you would prefer us to speak to someone you trust who you would like to make decisions on your behalf, just let us know
  • If a call becomes overwhelming, please let the caller handler know, and we’ll call you back once you’ve had a break.

If you'd prefer not to phone, you can Chat with us now.

I'm worried I've received a scam email. How can Saga help?

It can be worrying after you've received a suspicious phone call, text, letter, or email, or you've been visited by a cold caller who you're not sure is genuine.

We’ve set up the Saga Fraud and Scam Helpline for all Saga customers. This free 24-hour helpline is available to all Saga customers and Saga Magazine subscribers on 0800 656 9921, and can help set your mind at ease.

If you're a Saga Home Insurance customer and you have Legal Expenses cover, please call the telephone number in your policy book.

Why am I being asked to verify my details when using my bank card on your website?

To help keep your banking details secure when buying something from our website and your MySaga account, you might have to approve the payment with your bank (by your banking app or by text) before the transaction can be processed.

This is a process used by banks to ensure the safety of your money and protect you against the risk of fraud and scams when paying for products and services online.

What happens to the personal details I provide for the Saga Insurance Support Service?

The information you give us will be put on your record and stored on our secure systems. Where possible, we will share your details with our marketing departments in order to provide the best experience possible. This will not affect any marketing preferences you have already told us about.

We may share the information you give us across the Saga Group and, where required, with companies dealing with any claims you make. This is so they can treat you with the same consideration we do.

We will never pass on your details to other companies for marketing purposes.

You can read our privacy policy that explains how we protect your personal data.

We can remove the Saga Insurance Support Services information from your file whenever you want us to. Contact us or Chat with us now.
