Choose the right insurance cover type for you
When you’re comparing car insurance quotes between different insurers it can be important to make sure that you’re comparing like-for-like levels of insurance cover. Different features and optional benefits between insurance policies may make a big difference to what you end up paying, so it could be worth checking that your quote includes the features and cover that you want, without any expensive extras that you don’t need.
At Budget Direct we offer the following types of car insurance cover:
- Comprehensive Car Insurance covers your car and other people’s vehicles and property if you’re involved in an accident where you’re at fault. It also covers your car for a variety of other events, including fire, theft, storm damage, and more.
- Third Party Property Insurance covers you for damage caused to other people’s vehicles or property, but does not cover your own car if you have an accident.
- Third Party, Fire & Theft Insurance is similar to Third Party Property cover, but adds cover for your car if it is stolen or catches fire.
To help you decide which level of car insurance cover is the right fit for your needs, you can compare the features and benefits of our different car insurance policies here
For drivers in New South Wales, we also offer CTP, or “Green Slip” Insurance. You can find out more about Compulsory Third Party Insurance here.
