Shop around

I used these guys for 6 years.
They used to be much cheaper. Now you're likely paying for all the ads they bombard you with. Premium just went up $90. I just switched and "saved"....wait for it....$360 for the year. Show details

The worse service

Terrible service. One of your clients crashed my car 25 days ago and I still have no answers. Nobody answers my calls. I have been on line for over 30 minutes and no one has answered. I have no news about my car or when it will be repaired. It is a shame. I am not a client of this insurance nor would I be. Show details

International working visa insurance

Tried to organise insurance for international tourist that has purchased my car. After 1000 questions was advised that insurance wouldnt be offered. Waste of time. Ended up using RACV and had a cheaper quote!! Lost me as a customer. Show details

Budget Direct has NO interest in doing ANY PROPER INVESTIGATION! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Got into an accident many months ago, of which I am not at fault. Throughout the process, no case manager as called me to verify my statements, no calls to any party involved or witnesses, and they come to a conclusion without explaining anything to you. Any attempt to reach them will take hours and hours of waiting on the phone. Budget Direct is extremely negligent in handling my case and has no interest to do a proper investigation to find out the truth. They are only interested in quickly closing the case. You'd be better off with other insurers! Show details

Its like gambling

Your chances of getting a good service is 1 of 5 because thats how often i called them. 4 times terrible staff who either doesnt understand me or doesnt want to understand me. Also on the time of my accident i had a call that lasted almost 2 hours. Had to call other insurance companies who actually explained me what my current situation was. Wouldnt recommend it unless you are lucky and get the one good agent. Show details
