Rated 5 out of 5 by from New Year Happiness Before Xmas I lost my camera and photography gear. I completed the claim inline and soon recieved an email asking for more information. Upon providing requested information it was approx 2 weeks and my claim was fully paid out. I was able to buy new photographic material and equip for the new year. Thanks to Kath and the Budget team. You made the process so easy and I was able to get back out enjoying my hobby in no time.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Totally unsatisfactory claims process Claims process not at all satisfactory and action only taken by Budget Direct when prompted by the customer. The claim denied on basis that appears to be technical and based on factors over which we, the insured, have little or no control. Despite denying the claim for damaged which represented a destruction of the greater part of the building Budget Direct were quite prepared to accept the premium to cover the particular building. On the basis that this claim was denied it appears likely that there would not be any other cover in relation to the particular building, and despite this situation there was no offer of any refund of portion of the premium that was paid.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy fast competitive I saved around $500 on my house and contents renewal. I had been with my previous insurance company for years but they didn’t even try to compete with the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Couldn't have asked for better I recently joined Budget Direct via the 50 Up Club. Had been with other provider for over 2 decades without having made a claim so not familiar at all with home insurance claims, however following the recent storms which hit Sydney, our claim was followed through from day one and had everything sorted out in a very timely manner. Very happy to deal with local representatives who understand our issues and thus how to best deal with them. Very happy with the service overall which I would rate as 'personal service'. Thank you Budget Direct.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very quick and well priced We were looking for better priced house and contents insurance. Prices with our previous insurer were increasing every year and becoming unaffordable. I suggested we try Budget and a couple of others online. Budget was the best priced and easy to use. We saved about $500 for a much higher amount. Well done Budget!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Service All Round When shopping around for better value home insurance we rang Budget Direct for a quote. Patrick was one of the most patient and knowledgable operators we have ever spoken to. He clearly explained and answered all our queries. We believe we have better value for money and a business that actually cares about their clients. Would hightly recommend Budget Direct.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Rubbish Avoid this insurer. Staff implying that information provided is false which subsequently means you as a customer defraud the insurer. This on its own is an offence.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Waterfall in the lounge room The damage to the lounge happened on a Saturday afternoon after filling the bath upstairs. After contacting the plumber and Budget Direct. The Home Safe, (electrician) came out to check wiring etc. There was always a follow-up with the customer claims team after each stage of the proceedings. The trades people Budget Direct employed to do the repairs were all professional in undertaking the job and finishing in a timely manor with an excellent result. Very happy with the other-come, and won't hesitate to recommend Budget Direct as an insurer to anyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smooth Claim process. We have been insured with Budget Direct for a while now. Unfortunately our TV was damaged recently due to accidental damage. I rang Budget Direct to lodge a claim and was very happy with the way the staff dealt with our claim with questions and arranging for assessor to come and have a look etc. The process from start to finish was a couple of weeks but we were informed by phone of the progress. All went well and we are extremely happy with the outcome. Thankyou Budget

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Too long for claim to be completed A small claim of replacing some guttering, a shade sail and 5m2 re-paint took 8 weeks to complete. Poor communication between insurance company, repair company and consumer. Staff were pleasant when spoken to, yet were not pro-active, rather, they were reactive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Renewal made easy Great service. It was a very pleasant experience, not only for the money they saved me, but also the service. I spoke with Danijela who was very thorough and spent the time to explain what my cover included and to help with the extras that I wanted added. (Contents insurance).

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Easy to deal with for changing over insurance. But we’ll see in a year whether premiums increase as experience shows that there is an increase at the start of the second year and then at the start of the third, i’ Looking elsewhere.
