Compare Budget Car insurance: a new breed of insurer

http://www.budgetinsurance.com/

Which insurer offers the best quote depends on who you are, what you want and when you ask. The cheapest deals fluctuate from year to year. Budget is one of the new breed of ‘paperless’ insurers – you can buy a policy online from its panel of insurers and claims are conducted entirely by phone, thus theoretically saving on overheads and therefore the cost of premiums. As such it is generally up there as a reasonably-priced option. Budget itself claims that the average saving for customers is ₤85. Services it mentions on the site include roadside assistance, 60 days EU cover and a three-year repair guarantee. And its initial criteria for obtaining a quote are less restrictive than some online insurers. One of the more surprising sectors the company is now dealing with online is the classic car market – it has joined forces with specialist classic car insurers Lancaster to do so.

Budget also provides car insurance for the Post Office

Budget is also the provider for the Post Office’s own insurance scheme. And – hang on - is it me, or is the Post Office subtlely attempting world domination? You can get just about anything there now: foreign currency; passports; groceries; sentient super-robots… well, not the last one, yet. But it won’t be long before they’re building secret underground bunkers and training their operatives in hypnosis… ever wondered why you’ve come out with more stamps than you wanted? It’s far from coincidence, believe me. Ahem. Back to car insurance. The Budget website can be found at www.budgetinsurance.com, not to be confused with the car rental site. Finally, when considering taking out insurance, always shop around as much as you can before you decide on a policy because quotes and services can vary a lot between companies.
