“Any Data is collected by an insurance firm like this so-called Budget Insurance, could be a risky practice by the person who willingly give out their data. Car insurance like this, do not care or worry about anyone other than making money from the most vulnerable. This should have been investigated ages ago. I hope nobody ever will hand out their important data to an insurance company like this who use a system to try and act fraudulently. They won’t be able to act in that manner for very long. Whatever they make from the most vulnerable, will probably be lost in legal cases.”

“Their consultants had contacted me many times that they end up confusing me and I end up having two policies for one car. I paid for two policies for three months, at first I thought it's a once of fee. Later on the 3rd transaction I started looking at my bank statement I noticed this. I phoned and asked how does it happen that I pay for one twice? They apologized for the inconvenience and promised to refund me within 7 days, believe me it's 25th day now I am following up twice or thrice a week they keep saying they'll get back to me but don't. I am very tired of this. This proves that when I get a problem I will experience the same hassle. So I decided to cancel both my policies and find a better one”

“Purchased car insurance at cost of £219 after going on a comparison site. However Budget did not wait for me to forward my NCB instead they accessed my bank and took another £556.00 without my permission. I asked for a refund after I had forwarded the NCB but they only refunded me £368.00 this oncreased my policy price by nearly 100% I phoned to ask for a reason and they said the terms of the policy had changed. NOTHING HAD CHANGED EXCEPT THAT THEY SCAMMED ME OUT OF MORE MONEY. I cannot afford to pay cancellation fee on top of the monet I have already pad so I am stuck with Budget insurance for a year... AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS.”

“I have cancelled my policy with Budget Insurance early March 2021. Only to find out via debit orders that they never cancelled my policy. I called them to enquire and they did see it on their system that I requested for them to cancel the policy but it is still active. They promised to rectify their mistakes and the manager promised me he has immediately done a refund and the money will reflect on the 31st in my account. Now it is the 1st and they have not refunded me and when I call them they say they will do the refund today and the money will reflect on the 08 April. Now I have to wait more days for their incompetency and i am not even sure I will receive my refund on the specified date as I did not receive it on previous specified days. This is a huge inconvenience on my side.”

“30/03/21 Enterprise are keeping in regular contact, ready-to-go for a few days now. AW Boston have my photos and are waiting to hear from ...yes, you guessed it, that's right... BUDGET! So! We are all now waiting for BUDGET ...and this goes on and on! SHAME ON YOU, BUDGET!!!! 24/03/21 My claim has now taken SEVEN MONTHS FROM TOMORROW to begin to be processed. (I reported my accident 25th Oct 2020!) Today some progress...Enterprise Car rental Spalding have called me to get the ball rolling on my replacement car and on the same day AW Boston, the garage arranging the repairs, have contacted me too, which is great! A huge relief! But guess what? They have asked me to provide photos of the damage...strange as BUDGET were sent photos in Oct 2020! Why couldn't the photos be passed on along with the rest of my case notes? (BUDGET ARE INCOMPETENT, that's why!) The ombudsman has also contacted me today and I have asked them for assistance to help me leave BUDGET without having to pay a penalty, so I can find a legitimate insurance company, not one that operates on the premise of deception.(BUDGET INSURANCE deceived me. They have shamelessly taken my comprehensive premium payments under false pretence, without providing peace of mind...WITHOUT PROVIDING ANYTHING AT ALL, EXCEPT A WHOLE HEAP OF STRESS) 23/03/21 I have been informed by my solicitor that Budget insurance have been trying to call me ...but get this,...they've only been calling someone else's number 😂🤣😂🤣for goodness sake!!! Spoke with the underwriters today who were told, by Budget, that my front passenger side light was damaged?! Not correct! In fact it was the left hand side wing which was hit causing some cracking along the front bumper...not the light! (Budget EVEN had the photos I sent them 😂🤣😂🤣) In my experience Budget really are complete, incompetent twits!!! 21/03/21 Over ten days since your 'reply' Toni?!! and almost seven months since I reported my no fault accident to you!! STILL NO RESOLUTION. STILL HAPPILY TAKING MY MONEY THOUGH! 20/03/21 Clearly non-existent customer service. Not trustworthy. Outrageous! AVOID 19/03/21 Heard nothing today either. 18/03/21 Still no news. Awful service. (17/03/21) My terrible experience continues! Another week on and still no nearer to getting my car fixed. I have passed the matter over to my solicitor now and I will continue to keep potential customers posted on any 'progress' from now on until the matter is resolved...Be warned! This could be you, when you try to claim. 09/03/21 If I could give less stars I would. I had a no fault accident almost 6 months ago! I pay comprehensive premiums and my claim has still not been processed! What on earth is going on here?!!!! My car still has not been repaired and my attempts at communication are being ignored. I have never ever had an issue with any insurance company before. Please beware!!! This 'insurance' company is not what it appears to be. There is only so much that can be blamed on Covid!! Seriously?! For goodness sake, how long does it take to call a customer to explain what's going on?!! How long does it take to reply to an email?!! Quite frankly this is appalling treatment. I'm fuming!!!! How very dare they?!!!”

“I had 9 years no claims & last year I caught my back wheel arch on a gate at work. I enquired about having it mended through my insurance, but decided to do it privately costing me £700. This year when I got the cost of my renewal policy I think it was almost double of what I paid last year. Apparently even though I only enquired about using my insurance it cost me 6 years no claims. I tried to explain this but was told the panel would look at it on the 1st of march. Because my renewal was so ridiculously high I had to take out a pay monthly option & have still not heard from budget. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement as they had been brilliant up until now. I'm hugely unhappy.”
