About Us

Put Your Trust in an International Insurance Leader

Budget Direct is part of the Budget Insurance group of companies. Internationally, the group administers over 3 million policies worldwide.

The group administers more than 3 million policies and $1 billion in premium income. In Australia, we issue over 4,500 car insurance policies to Australian drivers every week, so you can be sure that you’re dealing with a reputable company who can offer you long-term security and protection.

Our Philosophy

We believe good drivers shouldn’t have to pay higher premiums to subsidise ‘higher risk’ drivers. Because our underwriting is more comprehensive than most other insurers, we identify drivers that push up premium rates and choose not to insure them. This in turn keeps our risk profile down and allows us to pass on highly competitive car insurance rates to good drivers like you. All of our policies are underwritten by Auto & General Insurance Company Limited, which is part of the Budget Insurance group.
