Budget Direct Insurance: Cheapest Car Coverage in Singapore

As you know, it is already incredibly expensive to buy a special Certificate of Entitlement (COE) from the government to own a car before drivers can hit the road. They still have to bear high expenses that include petrol, parking, road tax, and the ERP (Electronic Road Pricing) system.

 

But did you know that the COE quota will increase in the February–April quarter, but at a much slower rate?

In 2024, the authorities will continue to increase the COE quota for Categories A, B, and C before reaching the peak supply period in 2026, while the Category D quota in 2024 is expected to remain comparable to 2023.

It is also compulsory for every car to be covered by insurance with an annual premium, so obviously, car owners prefer lower-cost insurance with wider coverage. Similarly, an insurance company should offer an easy and fuss-free policy with a good list of allowed workshops. There are many competitive insurance companies in Singapore; one of them is Budget Direct Insurance.

CAR INSURANCE DUE – PAY LESS OR PAY NOTHING

More Reasons Why It Pays to Choose Budget Direct Insurance

Some say Singaporeans have been paying excessively for high-quality auto, motorcycle, and even car insurance because of their long-standing reliance on agents and middlemen, who charge consumers a higher rate, according to Budget Direct’s website. 

But when you choose to buy with Budget Direct Insurance, they will offer you their best prices and the choice to select only the optional covers that meet your individual needs. All are supported by a full customer care and claims team, which is based right here in Singapore.

Budget Direct received a 4.7/5 stars based on Independent Service Rating from 9310 verified customer reviews. With the overwhelming positive reviews,

Budget Direct Insurance worked with TPM Outdoor for help with out-of-home advertising in a few key locations throughout Singapore in an effort to increase its brand awareness.

The focus of their outdoor campaign is to use large format billboards and buses to ensure maximum impact and wide exposure to reach the right audience with their brand messaging. This means reaching out to road users and decision-makers about car and motorcycle insurance. 

The large digital billboard at Queensway Shopping Centre is strategically located at the Alexandra cross-junction to provide a 100% viewpoint to drivers and motorists alike. It is fully exposed to moving vehicles facing the 3-direction along Alexandra Rd, adjacent to Jln Bukit Merah.

It is also situated within proximity to Leng Kee Road, an automotive hub where there are popular auto dealers such as Peugeot (AutoFrance), BMW (Performance Motors), Hyundai (Komoco Motors), and Ferrari (Ital Auto).

Queensway Shopping Centre is one of Singapore’s most popular malls for sports apparel. It offers a wide range of sports gear, limited sports apparel, and equipment. Located close to Queenstown MRT Station (EW19), it is also a favorite hangout for youths. It is also beside shopping malls like Anchor Point Shopping Mall and IKEA Alexandra, a furniture store. Which are also vastly popular among families.

In earlier years, we’ve also done a similar Out-Of-Home advertisement at other prominent locations for Budget Direct Insurance; some of these locations include Jalan Besar Plaza, 121 Sims Ave, and Hotel Boss.

The focus of these outdoor campaigns is to use large format billboards to ensure maximum impact and wide exposure to reach the right audience with their brand messaging. This means reaching road users, and decision-makers of car and motorcycle insurance. There is also an expectation that these audiences will be traveling at 40–70 km/h; the size of the billboard matters for readability.

Within a 6-month campaign, Budget Direct gained viewership from 100% of drivers and vehicle users, thus increasing their brand exposure, creating stronger brand recall, and possibly triggering higher sales conversion.

Budget Direct has also issued a challenge to local motorists, offering free insurance coverage to those who can meet the terms of the initiative.

The challenge encourages drivers to obtain a comprehensive car insurance quote from Budget Direct Insurance and compare it with their current insurer’s renewal notice. Budget Direct Insurance will reimburse drivers with free insurance coverage if they verify that the renewal notice is cheaper.

Budget Direct touted its confidence in its new Pay Less or Pay Nothing promotion, saying that it is a win-win proposition for Singaporean motorists who will participate; customers can either secure reduced premiums for their insurance needs or come away with free coverage. Source
