I finally found out why this company can offer you such great rates the first time you sign up car insurance with them. So their first year rate was fantastic. However after 10% NCD, their rate was only $3 cheaper than the previous year!!! When you question that, they came up with all sorts of theory, what repair costs have gone up etc…I decide to go to Etiqa, even though the rate may be slightly higher, their 10% NCD and is really 10% off the previous rate you have paid for. In the long run, it is definitely not worth staying on with Budget Direct! Do your own calculations!

Was recommended by my brother to consider Budget Direct, indeed the car insurance is much more competitive by 30%. Good for those who wants to save money given the seemingly high petrol prices. Every penny save is important. Cheers.

Win-win situation as I will receive mall vouchers Thank You!

One Year passed and I am renewing with them – very fuss free with no hidden cost.

Last year, I was shopping around online for quotes and Budget Direct quote was the cheapest, perfect for careful drivers. Plan is fully customizable as well if you need more coverage such as medical or 24hr roadside assistance.

Budget Direct called back in the same day and everything was settled in one phone call including payment. Give it a try. So far so good!

Have a nice day!
