Highly rated claims
Why does Budget Direct only cover homes south of the Tropic of Capricorn in Queensland?
Northern Australia is exposed to more intense weather-related perils, most notably cyclones, than southern Australia is.
To manage claims costs and keep premiums low for our customers, our policy is to only insure homes south of the tropics.
