Praise for Budget Direct
“The trick is to keep insurance costs low but get all the necessary features tailored to your needs, with a few bells and whistles. This year’s winner, Budget Direct…does the job.”
2017 Money Magazine Insurer of the Year award citation
“Instead of charging you for things you may not need, Budget Direct provides the option of extra cover for things like floods and portable items you take with you away from your home, giving you control over the level of cover that you need, and how much you want to pay.”
