Wanted nothing to do with investigating the matter when we got crashed into, spent 3 months chasing them to keep getting passed on to 3rd party companies who just slap the details on a file and never look into it. Chased them 6 times over 3 months. Gave up in the end. Will never use Budget again.

Where do I begin!
1. My insurance is due for renewal. Budget emailed me to renew my insurance with a link. Can I renew it? NO. Why? Cloudflare will not allow me access to the Budget website to renew my insurance. I am Blocked, reason unknown.
2. Contact Budget you say. How? Emailed, twice, explaining the situation. Response. None!
3. If all fails, download the app! How? Unable to download the app because all searches on the App Store bring up Zero results.
You have to question. If you are blocked from Budget every which way, then how confident are you they would ever sort anything out if you had an accident, or worse?

Problem with multiple renewal payments going out of my account, without my knowledge, by mistake. Resulting in my account being emptied just before monthly bills being debited. Totally unacceptable situation which, despite several hours worth of calls and staff trying to be helpful, could not be resolved.

I do not and did not want to be insured with yourselves. You did not even tell me how much this was going to cost and still I am getting emails from you when I have asked for my data to be removed.

I needed to change insurers and was shopping around. I found their website easy to negotiate, the quote very reasonable and that the whole process comfortable from the start, through to completion, paying them and the swiftness of getting the documents. Hopefully we can keep a good union.

I used Confused.com to get to motor quotes and chose Budget motor insurance. I entered all the right info including my SP30 speeding fine on Confused.com. I trust Confused.com to pass to Budget all I inputted, but that did not happen, so I effectively bought Budget motor insurance not realising my speeding fine was not noted and that could invalidate any future claim. I fortunately found this mistake later and contacted Budget, they said they had only what Confused.com informed them of but Budget in may complaint to them said we have asked Confused.com for info, but Budget did not actually see the full info I put on the Confused.com site- they had not seen the full application. If your insurance provider (Budget in this case) do not see the full info inserted on the website such as Confused.com how the hell can you trust you have the right insurance cover. I have reluctantly paid the extra £111.00 to Budget- but next year they can - - - ------- ! Advice to all- as you type in the info to any website to obtain a quote of any kind, use your mobile to take photos of each question you answer- trust nobody or any system.

Didnt ask for a quote, the company failed to cancel my old policy when I sold the car, and automatically renewed it, despite the private reg not being put on any vehicle as yet! Sending ne emails that contradict each other- and lots of them. Rubbish really

After getting my renewal notice from my previous insurer, it was obvious that I needed to change companies as it had risen by £120 and I do even lower mileage now I have retired.
Budget insurance came up as one of the cheapest quotes I was given. It was not the cheapest but it had other things included which made it the better option for me. It was easy to set up and I chose to pay an annual payment rather than terms over the year, this saved me another £15. Overall I saved £138 by signing up with Budget Insurance. Obviously, I am hoping not to have to make a claim but I do have peace of mind with the quality of insurance I have got. I can definitely recommend them, take a look for yourself - you might be surprised like me!

It was very easy chosening which car insurance to have.

First let me say that I have no problem with the price point or the ease of getting my car insurace with Budget Insurance via a price comparison website.
My problem was with the overly-rigid adherance to the £25 charge for policy updates. I changed my car mid-policy, but because it was a new, unregistered car I could not find the details by simply searching using the registration plate number. When I initially provided all the new car details, I made a single letter mistake in the vehical registrastration plate. As soon as I realised this, about 48 hours later, I went back to the website to update the plate number with the corrected letter. Despite all my protestations regarding this honest mistake, I was again charged £25 for the update.
This seems to be a classic case of the spirit of the law versus the letter of the law. I understand this was my fault, but I expected better.

Original review left untouched above (2 stars). Budget Insurance have magnanimously offered to refund the second charge and for that they have my thanks.

Could you please send me out a copy of my car insurance documents. As I cant seem to find it.
Many Thanks.

My experience on purchasing the insurance online via their website was smooth and managing and downloading the document online was straight forward.
My name was incorrectly entered on the policy and this was promptly rectified when I contacted support via their online chat.
I have not yet used the insurance for any claims so I cannot rate Budget Insurance on this specific experience.

I have already written a review on here which I currently can't find.
Having settled a cluster duck of wombles, I am still being harassed by this company.
My phone call was recorded, used for training.
All resolved using documented evidence between the insurers and my bank (Nationwide... They deserve a medal).
I am now being harassed by "CARS".
Budget insurance to settle.
Settle what?
Everything is settled with document evidence from my bank.
AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS.
I'M REPORTING TO TRADING STANDARDS.
If anyone wants to contact me, the
DVLA have all my details.
Utter scammers.
Quit now.
Otherwise see you in Crown Court for Harrassment.
Update in response to the message from budget.
They have my email address, my telephone number and my name.
Also my car details.
There is no policy.
I have emailed Leanne.
If you contact me again, you will be hearing from the National Fraud Squad and DVLA.
