Rated 1 out of 5 by from Rejected claim Really angry. They rejected a claim for hail damage on the pool heating whereas others in our area were covered with similar aged units....

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not worth it. They took over 2 weeks to process my claim regardless of getting all of my information and paperwork within 24 hours of the initial claim request. They said it would take 2 days at the most, so I gave the other party an unrealistic time frame as they needed a hire car and couldn't. They said they would call back and never did - I had to continuously chase it up.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Budget by name and budget by service. Our car had to return to be repaired twice. When this was brought to the attention of budget direct we were left for days with no follow up, the only action we saw was when I had to call through and follow up with the complaint. The car was hit on the front right head light with damage clearly on the guard, when we finally received our car the front bar and light had been fixed but the damage to the guard was still there with no attempt to fix it at all. I am seriously concerned about the standard of our repair considering that this damaged to the guard was missed, what else has the "repairer" missed? The assessor assigned to us was barely interested in assisting with the second repair and wouldn't inspect the car until we brought it back to the inept "repairer" ourselves. Extremely poor service all round, Budget by name and budget by service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick, easy, convenient and competitive Left my home insurance to the last minute because I always hate dealing with these type of companies. Thankfully the online experience with Budget Direct was very simple, quick and I didn’t have someone pestering me over the phone while I made my mind up.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Hassle free policy quote I found the quote experience to be hassle free as the consultant was well informed about the product, was very pleasant to deal with and was not pushy, a very good over experience and a good policy price.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Clear and smooth online process Having organized 2 other policies this year; I was keen to consolidate all my insurances with one vendor. Budget Direct (online quoting and processing) was easy and relatively hassle-free. However; above all, it was really competitively priced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Efficient, professional service At every step in the process the Budget Direct team provided clear, uncomplicated guidance and support. The repairs were undertaken by a Budget Direct preferred body shop local to me and my vehicle is as good as new. Everyone was friendly and polite throughout the process. No drama, no worries!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy quote application. getting a quote was very easy and the result was very competitive. When speaking to their staff with a telephone query, they were very helpful. I had a policy with Budget about 8 years ago and a claim for a no fault accident, the claim was resolved and the car repaired without any problems.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy to use online process I’m impressed by the fact that I was able to use the Budget Direct online application for insurance. I was especially pleased with the ease of the self-inspection module. Those of us who are not technologically competent are grateful for your service.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Process was professional. The on-line process was good and queries were courteously handled by the Chat Line. Obviously competitive pricing was the initial attraction but terms are better than policy it placed - excess, CMV.
