Budget Direct wins Insurer of the Year in the 2019 Mozo Experts Choice Awards
With nearly 20 years of experience in providing Aussies with affordable insurance, it’s no wonder Budget Direct have been crowned the Mozo Experts Choice Insurer of the Year for 2019.
The Brisbane based insurance company were awarded not one but three Mozo Experts Choice Exceptional Value Awards, impressing the experts with their Comprehensive Car Insurance, Home Insurance and Landlord Insurance policies.
As Mozo expert judge Peter Marshall said, “Budget by name, budget by nature! It’s great to see a brand living up to its promise. Budget Direct is the only insurer we assessed that managed to get wins across all three value categories.”
The Mozo experts looked at 158 insurance policies from 54 different insurance providers, across car, home and landlord insurance. Comparing more than 10,000 car insurance quotes, 15,000 home insurance quotes and over 2,000 landlord insurance quotes to determine the winners of the Exceptional Value award.
Budget Direct scored well across all three value categories, consistently delivering low prices, while at the same time offering a good level of cover. The experts’ research revealed that Budget Direct is more likely to give Australians a cheaper quote for the cover they need than any other insurance provider.
“No matter whether you’re after car, home, or landlord insurance, our judging process proved that Budget Direct should be on the shortlist for anyone wanting to keep their insurance costs low,” said Marshall.
