The types of incident covered include:

  • Watches and cameras lost on holiday
  • An iPad left on the train
  • A phone left in a taxi

Our Saga Plus cover level includes personal belongings cover up to £10,000 per incident as standard, or you can add it to our Saga Select cover level.

Saga Home Emergency

From £34.99 per year, you can protect your home by adding Saga Home Emergency to your Saga Home Insurance policy. With unlimited call outs each year and up to £2,000 per incident, your home is covered for a range of emergencies relating to the following areas:

  • Plumbing and drains, if you have a blocked drain or a burst pipe
  • Electrical, if there is a partial or complete failure of internal electrics
  • Pest infestation, such as the removal of wasp or hornet nests and mice or rats
  • Security (i.e. glazing and locks) if you have a smashed window that's causing a security risk or you've lost your keys and are locked out of your home.
