Will I be charged if I make a change to my Saga car insurance?

Saga has removed administration fees for making changes to car insurance policies, meaning you generally won't pay a fee to amend details. However, if the change (e.g. a new car, change of address) affects your risk level, your premium may increase or decrease, and any adjustment will be applied to your policy.

Can I add other drivers to my Saga car insurance policy?

Yes, you can add a name driver to your Saga car insurance, providing they have a valid driving licence and meet the provider’s acceptance criteria. You can do this online through your MySaga account or by phone.

Adding extra drivers to your Saga car insurance may increase or decrease your car insurance premium, depending on their risk profile. MoneySuperMarket data found that adding a young driver (under 25) to any car insurance policy increased premiums by £768.94^ on average.

Does Saga car insurance include breakdown cover?

No, Saga car insurance policies do not include breakdown cover as standard, but it can be purchased as an optional add-on for an extra fee.

How do I renew my Saga car insurance policy?

Most Saga car insurance policies will be set up for auto-renewal. This means that after your existing contract ends Saga will start a new one for you using the payment details they have on file. No action is required from you and there will be no break in your car insurance cover.

Auto-renewal does not mean you will get the same cover at the same price as you had before. Saga must contact you in advance of your policy renewing to inform you of any price or policy changes. If you don't want your Saga cover to auto-renew, you need to inform Saga before your policy end date. You can do this through your Saga account.

Before letting your Saga policy auto-renew, it's worth comparing car insurance quotes to see if you could get a better deal elsewhere. Shopping around can help ensure you’re not paying more than necessary, as renewal prices aren’t always the most competitive.

Can I pay my Saga car insurance in monthly instalments?

Yes, you can pay for Saga car insurance in monthly instalments via Direct Debit. While you can spread the cost, please note that paying monthly is subject to eligibility criteria, and interest will be charged, making it more expensive than an annual lump sum payment.

An 'uninsured driver promise' is a car insurance policy feature where you will not have to pay your excess and will not lose your no-claims discount if your car is hit by an uninsured driver and the accident wasn't your fault.

Administration fees are charges insurers apply when you make changes to your car insurance policy. Examples of mid-term policy changes that could incur an administration fee include: changing your address, updating your job title, adding or removing a driver, changing your vehicle.

These fees cover the cost of processing the change, rather than the insurance risk itself. They are separate from any change in your premium. For example, if you update your details, your price may go up or down based on risk, then an admin fee may be added on top.
