Saga Travel Insurance

[pamjon]

Just had my renewal from Saga My last years quote was £638 this year they £722 . I rang them and after a long discussion got it down to £669. We do have a few medical problems but having used Saga in the past in hospital in France. Saga pay the hospital upfront they even gave us a refund of 7 days missed holiday of £70.
I thought I would shop around so rang Good to Go and asked them the question, "who pays up front you or me"? They replied that I would have to pay the hospital first then claim it back off them!!
So I then said what if I have not got enough money on my card? They said I would have to contact their emergency department.
Why would anyone want to go through all that worry when you are worried enough about your spouse or yourself.
Beware!!

I've claimed off Red Pennant many years ago, didn't have to pay anything upfront

I had a big claim using LV ( due to hospital admission) last year. Only had to pay the excess (less than £100) to the hospital on discharge. The rest settled with hospital direct by LV.
