This is great but theres one problem

I got budge direct a few weeks ago and while I was on the phone with customer service they told me Id get a 60$ gift card for each thing I signed up for, but I still havent got it. Apart from that budget direct is very good.

Helpful friendly service although late arriving

On the phone I was advised that the service man would be here within the hour however it was two hours or more before he arrived. He was very helpful and performed the work in a very quick time.

Helpful and speedy service

No matter what time I call the call center, I always get to speak to someone who knows their product well and is happy to help. It was a pleasure dealing with Budget Direct and I'm happy to be insured by them.

Never had to use it so far

published

I cannot give any comments as the title explains. Then I read insufficient words. Budget Direct should lower the minimum words to use as I'm a great example. You can't expect a review if a person hasn't used it. True or false. Though just reading these reviews some of them aren't too good. So inform me is my money well spent or not. Let's see if honesty prevails.

Hopeless

published

When the Police charge the other driver and the other driver admits fault, there should be no interrogation of your insured. Budget Direct made a mess of this claim and in the end we decided to cancel it. Just hopeless

Bad Experience, Not friendly service

published

After filling online, needed some clarification on the quote but the agent refused even listen saying that he cannot do anything about the quote received online.Was blunt and refused to even listen. So went with Alliance unwillingly for my brand new car.

Bad Technician

published

The service was slow, and the diagnosis by the technician was incorrect after we got the car home and took it to the mechanic. The technician told us that the car did not have a faulty battery and he told us that it is a faulty computer. We had to take the car and caravan back to Melbourne in limp mode. When we finally took it to the mechanic's, they had found out that the batter was in fact faulty and couldn't charge. This was the cause of the computer going hay wire, and made the car go into Limp mode. The mechanic was actually from RACV.

Car insurance renewal

published

I always get quotes from other insurance companies when the renewal comes around. I then call Budget & give them a chance to equal or better the quote.
Every year Budget have bettered the quote & that's why I'm staying with Budget for another year.

Questions & Answers

gerbera313

gerbera313asked

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 Direct
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
