Budget offered us a quote on our new house which was ridiculous, or an £82 refund.
When we rang back to cancel though the refund had changed to £19.14. When we asked why, they said there was a £35 cancellation charge (fair enough!) but then they also take 80% of the balance ALSO as a cancellation ... Read review

My advice is that these are an insurer you should only go with if you don't intend to claim, move house or make any other change to your policy.

They also wanted to charge us an additional £25 if we accepted a quote on the new property, for "administration" - all that work caused by us accepting a quote presumably.
I would stay well clear of Budget and spend an additional £10-£20 to get an insurance company that's actually useful when you need them. Smart People definitely don't use Budget.

the small print. I told him i wanted to cancel the policy and was told it will cost me £30 to do so and had the check to say it was illegal to have another policy with another company while having one with them. Then to add insult to injury they wanted proof from me that i was insured with another company..surely its none of their business. Also they wanted a copy of my new policy with Budget which they claim was in the post...my insurance finished with them on 31 July so to date 9 Aug i have not received my policy with them (me thinks they have not put my door number down again)
its so appalling as they are quick to take your cash and whats worse they keep your credit card details on line so can just take the cash out. But when it comes to problems or sending information out they are slow and you get charged for their mistakes.

In September (sorry I lied to you earlier, it was not December - must have had a blonde moment) of last year, I got my renewal for my car insurance from the AA, guess what, it had gone up drastically. Now like everyone else, I find the average motorist is being hit hard enough with increases in tax and fuel without having to pay out over the top for car insurance. My renewal quote was for £467.00 this was for fully comp, curtesy car, protected no claims, legal cover and and excess of £100.00.
I know it's always best to shop around and that companies give better deals to new customers, so I decided to hit the keyboard and see what I could save by checking out prices on the internet.
Well I expected to save some money, but not as much as Budget were offering, they quoted me for the same deal as I was getting but ...
Budget has a range of insurance products available. I will be concentrating on BudgetCar Insurance as they are the insurers I have at the minute.
When I bought my new car (a Porsche Boxster) I was worried about getting insurance as the car is group 17 and Im only 25. Although as a woman I thought I would get it a bit cheaper I found this wasn't the case.
I used various online search sites to find the best cover but found confused.com to be the best. After putting in all my details Budget came out second cheapest - the 1st was a name I didn't recognise so didn't go for that. After deciding on Budget I put my partner on (thinking it would sent it shooting up - man aged 27) It didn't, it brought it down by £100. I was amazed!
Budget sent the documents out very quickly and when they didn't recieve my no claims proof from my ...
