If you’re trading in your car, you’re responsible for it until the purchaser/dealer takes possession of your car.
You can then insure your new car by changing the car details on your existing Budget Direct policy, either by calling us on 1300 306 560 or logging into your online account and editing your policy.
If you replace your Budget-Direct-insured car with a similar one, we’ll automatically provide the same level of cover for your replacement car for 14 days from the purchase date – even if you don’t contact us. (Cover for your previous car ends at the same time.)
Your replacement car will be temporarily insured for its market value or purchase price, whichever is lower.
You’ll just need to make sure you update your existing policy before the temporary cover expires.
