Saga, the UK’s leading provider for insurance products and services for the over 50s, has appointed the RAC to provide legal expenses cover to more than a million customers.

The new multi-year contract, starting from June 2023 following a competitive tender process, will see the RAC provide expert legal expenses insurance cover for all Saga Motor, Home and Landlord Legal Expenses policies.

Paul Evans, general manager RAC Legal Services, said: “We’re delighted to have been chosen as Saga Insurance’s exclusive new provider for legal expenses insurance against considerable competition from others within the market, and look forward to working with the team at Saga and help them continue with their success.

“Saga was seeking a partner with whom it can grow and innovate its legal expenses insurance proposition and we’re confident our expertise will help them provide a compelling proposition for their customers. This partnership, allying the RAC’s trusted brand with Saga’s high-quality brands, represents significant growth for our Legal Expenses Insurance business.”

Stephen Hague, Motor Panel and Partnerships Manager at Saga, said: “It is with great excitement that we can announce RAC as Saga’s new Legal Expense provider. Their passion and enthusiasm for creating a market leading proposition tailored to the requirements of Saga’s over 50’s market combined with their strong brand values - which remain very much aligned to Saga’s - make RAC the ideal new home for our Legal products.

“The multi-year deal with RAC will allow our two businesses to build on the existing foundations to further enhance and innovate our products and services.”

The RAC is Saga Insurance’s current breakdown assistance provider.

Diesel dips below £2 a litre
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “While it’s positive to see the average cost of a litre of diesel dipping back below £2 a litre, we’re a long way from being out of the woods when it comes to high fuel prices. Diesel remains around 57p a litre higher than before the US/Iran conflict, and petrol 42p higher – meaning households are paying £31 and £23 more respectively every time they fill up a family-sized car. And as things stand, this year is still set to be the second most expensive year on record for drivers.

Diesel tops £2 a litre for first time ever
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “This is a pump price threshold that no-one wanted to cross – the average price of a litre of diesel has risen to a record 200.01p and is showing no signs of slowing, heaping more misery onto motorists. The cost of filling up an average family car is now £110, almost £32 more than it was at the start of the US/Iran war. This will be very challenging for households and companies that drive a lot of miles, from commuters, haulage and delivery firms, businesses with large fleets all the way through to sole traders. In a cruel twist, it’s diesel vehicles, which were once considered the most cost-effective option for lengthy journeys, that are now burning a hole in people's pockets.
