I was also with Saga and premium increased by £320.I am an HGV driver with no accidents in 30 years.I phoned Saga to ask what they were playing at with the new quote.This is the best deal we can get you with the companies that we use they said.Looked around on line and opted for Aviva,although this had pay for 10 months get 12 months cover as an introduction,it was still £300 cheaper than Saga.

I have also just saved £219 on my buildings/contents insurance.Switched from

Direct line to Legal & General

My tip for everyone is stop being loyal,shop around and get switching.Check online first and then ring the freephone numbers.

You know it makes sense loyalty counts for nothing now with big business. 

The problem with Saga is that once your on their books for something they are never off your back.

If they worked out the cost of the mail they have sent me they could have knocked at least £200 off the price for starters.

It seems like lots of others I had a massive renewal hike with SAGA after the first year. I changed to John Lewis Insurance for about the same price as the original SAGA premium. One advantage of SAGA was the 365 days out of the UK cover.

My Jeep was up for renewal last week.  Existing insurer quoted £1200, l£450 last year!!  Phoned them and it was reduced to £900.  Went on the price comparison sites and got it for £539.  What is that about?!  Loyalty does not pay.

Caravan insurance due next!  We got our second hand van last year and paid a bit extra to get new for old. I hate spending the time searching but it's worth it.
