What types of car insurance does Saga offer?
Saga offers three levels of comprehensive car insurance: Saga Standard, Saga Select and Saga Plus. They all include an uninsured driver promise and cover for driving in most European countries. You get 90 days’ cover to drive in Europe with Saga Standard, and there’s no limit on the number of days with Saga Select and Saga Plus.
A Saga Standard policy provides all-round cover that gives you the essentials and more, such as an uninsured driver promise.
A Saga Select policy also protects your no-claims discount (NCD) if you have more than four years without a claim.
A Saga Plus policy comes with a range of additional benefits included as standard, such as:
- 3-year fixed-price cover – your premium stays the same, if nothing changes, for the next two renewals.
- Onward taxi travel – if your car is too damaged to drive after an accident in the UK.
- Legal protection – includes cover to reclaim up to £100,000 of uninsured losses if an independent legal representative thinks you can win the case.
There’s a range of optional extras you can add to your policy:
- Key protection to help with replacing lost, stolen or broken keys (included with Saga Plus).
- Breakdown assistance to keep you on the road in the UK and Europe.
- Legal protection (included with Saga Plus).
- Replacement car extension to get a courtesy car if yours is stolen or written off.
- Increased personal accident cover of £150,000 for serious injuries or accidental death.
