Just joined and saved lots of money

published

I only just switched to Budget Direct, so I can't comment on claims or anything like that. I can just say the set up process was reasonably easy and it was certainly much cheaper than who I was with before.

worst costumer service ever faced in life ...

when I asked them to do few changes in my policy they just cancelled it. The costumer service is so rude. instead helping they start investigating you.. hope they improve their service ...

Worst insurer of the year

published

Reason went to budget direct it was cheapest. Turn out to be the cheapest & worst service ever.

Been rating 1 driver no demerit points over 15 years. Had someone break in to my car (broken windows & stuff taken out from my car)
- First will take 30 minutes to answer calls
- Then took 2 weeks to get window repaired (I had choice of repairer option, but couldn't use mine)
& $ 600 excess
- Another claim had to lodge for contents. And suddenly my monthly payment doubled.
Had to cancel the claim and find another insurer.

Never ever go with these people.

Great Value

published

The premium was bn really competitive. I saved $700 just by changing to Budget Direct. The online process was really easy and quick. Would totally recommend this company for car insurance.

Wasn't sure if I had cover or not.

I applied for comprehensive insurance on line, I was required to provide documenrs to prove my no claim rating status, I did this and up till time of writing, had no idea if my insurance was in place.

Poor customer service

published

Cost effective when you buy, but you will pay the real cost when you have accident.
I think it is not value for money.
They don't look like to be willing to help customers and it seems they are finding away to avoid their responsibilities.

Brilliant Cash Saver.

I had 2 cars insured with Huddle. I saved over $200 by switching to Budget, the customer service agent asked every pertinent question so I had the best value for both cars.

Excellent value

published

I set up the insurance on the phone and the process was made easy by the helpful assistant.
There were good options to tailor the insurance as I needed.
The components of the insurance policy (what was covered) easily surpassed other insurance policies that are trying to compete with the Budget Direct price.
The only negative point is one that is shared by all of the companies - my premium was affected by a ‘no fault’ (and therefore no claim to the company) incident where I was rear-ended.
If I ever need to claim, I hope their service remains as good as the initial set up.

Have already told friends about it

published

Good value Saved me $40 on previous insurance company comprehensive car insurance and easily setup with the help of knowledgeable and friendly on line support staff well done budget direct thanks

Good luck if you need to claim

published

Don't be fooled by their cheap quotes,

As soon as you need to claim they will switch on "don't give a fk" mode

For this case it was a not at fault and the other side is not insured, they will find every little thing to avoid paying even it wasn't even your fault.

Go pay a bit extra and have a hassle free claims in the future, fk this company.

Over priced

published

I'm a long time customer with three other vehicles insured with you it was only when I said I would get some other quotes did he offer to give me some more discount I still felt it was too high but accepted anyway very dissapointed will be looking around next year for cheaper quotes regards Alastair

Comprehensive Car Insurance

We currently have friends shopping round for car insurance.
They have asked us if they would be covered for mice damage to a car if they go with Budget Direct.
Does anyone have an answer re this issue?
Thanks.

Dont know about mice damage, but I got my dates wrong about a accident from 4 years ago and they wouldn't pay out accident, which is fine. But they cancelled my policy instead of letting me cancel. Now no insurer will let me take out a policy for 3 years due to having a policy canceled.
