Tailor Your Insurance to Suit Yourself

We've all got different priorities when it comes to car insurance - which is why we've developed Budget Direct smart policies. Our smart policies offer a range of flexible options so you can reduce or adjust your car insurance premium to suit your own individual priorities and maximise savings.

Agreed Value or Market Value

You can choose to insure your car for its current market value or for an alternative amount agreed on by both of us.

Maximum No Claims Discount Protection

Maximum No Claims Discount Protection entitles you to make 1 claim during your current insurance period or 2 claims in a three-year period without affecting your Maximum No Claim Discount (Rating 1)

Windscreen Excess Reduction

Choose to reduce your windscreen excess by varying your premium

Restricted Driver Discounts

You can choose to restrict the age of the drivers of your vehicle to receive a lower insurance premium. Budget Direct lets you restrict the youngest drivers age to 21, 25, 30 or 40 years of age, once again helping you tailor your motor vehicle insurance policy to your specific circumstances to help you reduce your premium.

Variable Excess to Reduce Premium

With Budget Direct's variable excess function you can vary the amount of excess you pay in the event of a car insurance claim to reduce your insurance premium. It's completely up to you. At the end of an online quote use the Policy Excess drop down box to vary your excess level to reduce or raise your premium. If you're doing a phone quote ask the Budget Direct representative about the variable excess options.
