2-YEAR FIXED PRICE HOME INSURANCE

How our fixed price home insurance works

Saga’s 2-year fixed price is a benefit of our Saga Plus cover level. You’ll get a comprehensive policy that covers you for buildings, contents, or both with excellent features, such as Accidental Damage cover, included as standard – plus the additional benefit of knowing your price will stay the same for the next renewal.

We’ll fix the price of your policy and any additional cover options added at the start. The price will only change if one or more of the following happens:

  • You make any changes to your policy
  • You make a claim for Accidental Damage or accidental loss or any claim made under the personal belongings section of your cover
  • The rate of Insurance Premium Tax changes
  • A change in the VAT rate for the Annual Boiler Service.

Is Saga Plus a two-year insurance policy?

No, your Saga Home Insurance policy will run for 12 months at a time. Towards the end of the year, we'll invite you to renew your policy. If nothing has changed, your price will be the same as what you paid in the first year. You’re not tied in and if we can offer you a lower price at renewal, we will.

Once you've checked the details over, you’ll be able to easily renew your fixed price home insurance policy online or over the phone, if you prefer.

Fixed price cover with no ties

You’re not tied into your Saga policy for both years. You choose whether you stay with us when it's time to renew or when you need to make changes to your policy. If you cancel your policy, we won't charge you a cancellation fee.

Is 2-year fixed price home insurance a good deal?

If you choose our Saga Plus cover level, your price will be fixed for two years if nothing changes. This means that you can choose to stay with us for two years, if you wish, safe in the knowledge that your home is covered. You’ll be protected against price increases due to market changes and saved from any surprises when it’s time to renew. If we can offer you a lower price at renewal, we will. You are, of course, free to shop around.

When comparing home insurance policies, it’s important to look at the cover in detail not just the price. The cheapest option might not fit your needs and you won’t necessarily find out until you need to make a claim.

What is covered by the Saga Plus policy?

Saga Plus is our top cover level and includes Accidental Damage, Worldwide cover for your personal belongings (such as mobile phones) and Matching Sets cover (this includes important matching items such as your kitchen cupboards and bathroom suite).

What happens if I move house?

If you move house during the two years, you’ll need to let us know. We'll recalculate the cost of your home insurance for your new home and then this price will be fixed for the remaining time of your 2-year fixed price insurance. If you decide to shop around, you’re free to cancel your policy at any time. There’s no cancellation fee, and your Saga 2‑year fixed price policy will end when you cancel.

If you have our Buildings Cover, your current and new homes can be covered for the time between exchanging contracts (or concluding the missives in Scotland) until you move in, as long as it’s within eight weeks. This cover is only in place when agreed by Saga so please contact us to arrange this cover prior to exchanging contracts on your new home.

If you have our Contents Cover, we'll automatically cover loss of or damage to your furniture, soft furnishings and free-standing kitchen appliances in your new home for seven days before you move in.

Please see the new home sections of the policy book for full details.

You will need to let us know if you want to do this.

4. The price of your insurance may change during the 2-year fixed price period if:

  1. You make any changes to your policy or amend your cover options at any time. Such changes may result in adjustments to the price, excess amounts, and/or policy conditions (for example, if you move home, increase or reduce your cover limits or add or remove covers).

Any change in price will take effect immediately upon making the change and will remain in place for the remainder of the current 2-year fixed price period.
  2. You or your joint policyholders make a claim under accidental damage, accidental loss or personal belongings section(s) of your cover on this policy. Claims made under these sections of cover can also lead to a change in your policy excesses and/or endorsements.

*Endorsement – An endorsement is an extension or restriction to your policy. An endorsement can include:

1. An exclusion – things your policy will not cover. Such as if the property is undergoing building work, an endorsement may then be applied to exclude accidental damage cover to your buildings and/or contents.

2. A condition of cover – existing policy cover remains in place, but there are things you must or must not do to remain fully protected. An example is that if you have an individual item of jewellery worth over a certain value, we ask that it be inspected or valued by a professional jeweller every 5 years.
