I am 55 and come on here a lot, not for what I can get, but more for what I can learn, re elderley parent, care homes, pensions etc, which I think is great and have learned a lot. Have never used Saga for car/home insurance as has been too expensive!!
But great site for knowledge

Ah well, they must have changed their conditions... I have their card but now only as a back up since the Halifax also gives me £5 back if I fulfil the conditions.

Looks like I shall no longer have Saga car insurance- got a much better deal yesterday. It wouldn't be worth price matching as there were also grocery vouchers for £50 as an added bonus.

I tried Saga for car insurance and they declined to quote. It seems modified American cars aren't their thing. Neither are younger spouses.

Am I the only one with Saga car insurance?

My second year, premium very competitive wrt to others found via comparison sites

In the past I have found them uncompetitive so seems depends on the wind

My Saga car insurance is just coming to an end. As I said before I managed to undercut it by £230- some saving! I was offered the price match but it is not exactly matching like for like (too complicated to explain why!) so I wouldn't win! Plus I know full well Saga would not price match £50 in grocery vouchers!! (So the total saved will be £280.)
I don't know if this past year (2nd year) was such a good buy- the first year I was with them was a great deal since it included half price AA cover. I think I just got too lazy to check!
Last year I remember reducing the annual milage by 2k- made a slight difference. This new renewal premium had gone up even further- no claims and the car is worth less- doesn't make a lot of sense.
