It has now established itself among the top UK car insurance companies thanks to its range of cost-effective Budget car insurance (also known as ‘Budget motor insurance’) policies.

Budget is a leading direct insurer that aims to find the cheapest car insurance quote for its customers from a panel of 20 top insurers that includes the likes of Legal & General car insurance, Norwich Union car insurance, Allianz car insurance, Groupama car insurance and NIG car insurance. According to independent research in June 2008, more than 10 per cent of customers could save £138 by moving to Budget car insurance.

Among the services the company offers is cover for personal effects up to £100, cover for the loss or damage of sound equipment up to £500, glass cover for window glass, death or injury cover up to £5,000, medical expenses up to £200 per person and approved claim repairs that are guaranteed for three years.
