Give them a miss, they are hopeless.
Rang up when my car wouldn't start, was advised over the phone to get it towed to a mechanic and they wouldn't send anyone out. Told them they can stick their roadside assistance.

Horrible Service
Instead of helping caused more damage. My car broke down and had to call them. I was given two options either I can get the car towed or someone who isn't a mechanic will have a look and I had to pay for the tow service. I decided to get the vehicle towed and tow truck caused damaged on my bumper(both the driver and passenger side) while loading the vehicle. This happened right in front of me. I confronted the driver Alex and he denied from taking responsibility. Anyways I emailed budget direct the photos with fresh scratch and white paint from...Read more
the tow truck and now they are denying to take responsibility as well. I have requested for a formal detailed report explaining on what grounds they have made their decision and haven't heard from them.2 comments

Hi Rupesh, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience. We have followed up with the appropriate department that is dealing with this matter and they will contact you accordingly in due course.
How much longer do I have to wait for someone to get in touch. This is ridiculous.

Not impressed
Will be cancelling my subscription with the useless company. First time using there services and I'm not impressed. Very hard to hear what they are saying on the phone as the mumble and don't speak clearly. I only got 2 options when my car broke down. Either have it towed for free or have someone who is not a mechanic look at and if they can't get it going I will have to have it towed at my cost. I then waited 2 hours in 40 degree heat for the tow truck to arrive.
I will be switching to nrma from now on. They might be more expensive but at least there service is better

Give the jobs to people that care
On Friday last (6/12) one of the neighbours had a problem with their car battery. The car was parked on the road just along from my driveway. He contacted you and you sent a greek looking chap in a blue/yellow transit size vehicle. He parked directly over my drive and began dealing with the customer I was working in the garage with the door open. After 5 mins or so I came out and asked why he had blocked my drive when the rest of the road was empty and the least he should have done is just ask if it would be ok. He just ignored me, perhaps anno...Read more
yed because the customer had refused his exorbitant quote. I am surprised that arrogant, ignorant people still exist in the service industry in this day and age and worse still you endorse them by giving them work. If this is how little esteem you place on customer satisfaction I am glad I have a different insurance company.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Questions & Answers

I have recently purchased road side assistance for my mother. When does the 48 hour waiting period start? From time of payment? Or when policy is received?
1 answer
Budget D.Budget Direct
Thank you for asking the question. Roadside Assistance starts 48 hours after you buy the Roadside Assistance
agreement (once the call ends). If you need help in first 48 hours of purchasing the Roadside Assistance, or at any time due to a preexisting condition, we charge a non-refundable service fee of $100 (including GST)on top of any Roadside Assistance premium. We hope this provides you with further clarity, regarding your concern.

Do Not Ever Use This Company as its a Complete Waste Of Time and Money With Shocking Customer Service-They try and Charge For Items Which would be Normally Covered under Other Providers.
Save Yourself The Trouble-Pay a Bit Extra in Premium and Get Good Service
They Use Ultratune as a provider So Basically 2 companies With Different Policies and Keep On Passing The Buck between Each Other.-Charged Me $100 To "Extract" A Car From a Shopping Centre by walking 30m Up The Ramp Then Jumpstarting and Loading It Onto a Tow Truck -Just Checked With another Provider and said They Don't Charge For this Kind Of Service as Part Of Tow Assist -Keep Away From Them

I am a member of budget direct roadside assistance, I have used there service and on all occasions have had no problems.
You r lucky then Stevens just look up my story with them the same issue outsourced to Ultratune which wont admit to their own incompetence and hence wrong advice whilst Allianze was correct
