Rated 4 out of 5 by from Claims process went smoothly We have had both house & contents & car insurance for a few years now & had never made a claim. Our first experience was fantastic & will happily recommend Budget to family & friends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Value As a first time customer I found it very easy to navigate and choose the options that suited us and remove options such as flood cover that we will never need due to our demographic location. Customer service was excellent with a couple of queries but overall a great experience, product with really good value for money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Home contents review I found the process to gather information around Budget Directs website very easy. The price for our Home Contents Insurance was very competitive to other Companies. This was also a factor in purchasing from Budget Direct. Very Happy.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Waste of time Bad communication, getting information about our claim was like pulling teeth, they only cared about getting us to pay our excess upfront - when I refused I was given attitude.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy as! The Budget Direct website allowed easy completion of an application process. The online calculators helped with estimating the cost to rebuild a house, something most of us would not know!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very smooth process Very easy process everything i read seem to have the same covers as my previous policy that was costing me $80 more. I have only had the policy a week so we will see how we go. Customer service on line was very fast when i needed to ask a question, very helpful. No waiting.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Clear and friendly guidance We had a tree fall and damage part of our property during a storm one evening. Speaking to the Budget Direct claims consultant the next morning was a relief as she was clear, informative and direct. I haven't had much experience with insurance companies, but up until this point I had always expected them to be evasive and unhelpful. My experiences with Budget Direct were the exact opposite of my expectations as I was guided through each step, asked simple questions and given information on what steps should be my next. All in all it felt like a very successful business partnership!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Frustration!! Budget Direct staff were pleasant but all trades associated with actual work were totally hopeless. To the extent of me advising I didn't want them in my house! First person in was "the rectifier" who was basically someone who liked listening to his own voice and was full of totally wrong information. His lack of knowledge left us living in a disrupted house for 3 months. Then the builder assigned to do the work had a supervisor who had no control or knowledge of the job. Too many excuses and no work done. Bottom line was they had under quoted for the repairs and were scrambling at ways to do the job. Builder was based on Sunshine Coast and my house is on the Gold Coast! Supervisor never called to look at work to be done and the whole process was a bad joke. In the end I said "NO MORE" and pushed for a cash settlement so I could arrange to fix the house myself. DO NOT accept repair work that is allocated to Liebke Builders from the Sunshine Coast. A pack of ametuers who will make your life hell !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent company Ive taken out several insurance policies with Budget and have had no problems whatsoever. The nice thing about Budget is you can call and actually negotiate your premium wherever possible unlike other companies that flat out refuse.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Air conditioner motor Budget Direct’s response was fair given that our air conditioner was 12 years old. We did not realise it was that old when we claimed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Disappointing I was not happy being refused the claim. A friend had a similar issue and their insurance company covered the claim. I was given an excuse which i did not accept.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Didn’t budget on customer service. No skimping on customer service. Staff very pleasant and accommodating. We were included in every part of the process, and then asked if we were happy along the way. No guess work anywhere. We knew exactly what was going on and when. The contractors they employed to do the work were fabulous, turned up on time, got stuck into their work and cleaning up each day before they left. What more could you ask.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast and affordable I compared the home & content insurance with other insurance and found that Budget Direct is the most affordable one and it comes with $60 gift card as well. Secondly this insurance is the only insurance that comes with $5k excess which bring down the premium significantly compare to other competitor. Buying process is simple and straight forward with the option for flood and include 25% price adjustment. All is good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Experience With Budget Direct This is a good company with which to deal. I've had to make a couple of claims over the years and the experience was very easy. The personnel on the phone were terrific - very personable and amenable. No complaints from me and generally the quotes for home and contents and vehicle insurance have been fairly competitive.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Difficult claims process Would not recommend Budget to anyone. The claims process was very difficult and had to escalate the claim after a couple of months of repeating myself. Eventually had the claim resolved after escalation
