Protecting Australians for over 20 years
Since 2000, Budget Direct has had Insurance Solved for more than 3 million Australians.
By offering dependable cover at a price that’s hard to beat, we’re challenging the market dominance of older, more established insurers in Australia.
Our commitment to quality and innovation means you can get the cover you want, at a price you can afford, with all the features you’d expect — plus a lot more.
Here for the long haul
We employ more than 1,300 people and have partnership agreements with hundreds of car repairers and building contractors nationwide.
Our policies are underwritten by Auto & General Insurance Company Limited, an Australian insurance company regulated by APRA and a member of the Insurance Council of Australia.
Auto & General is part of the international BHL Group.
With nearly nine million customers, the group includes one of the largest direct personal lines insurers in South Africa, and one of the largest personal lines insurance intermediaries in the United Kingdom.
Award-Winning insurance
Time after time, when independent experts compare Budget Direct’s car and home insurance with our competitors’, we rake in the awards.
We've won Money magazine's Insurer of the Year title seven years in a row (2017–23) and Money magazine's Best of the Best awards for Car Insurance (2019–24) and Home & Contents Insurance (2017–20 & 2022–24).
Budget Direct also became the only brand in any category to win a Canstar National Outstanding Value Award 17 years in a row (2007-23).
