Outrageous quotes

by ashley on May 18, 2018
2 out of 5 stars

I spent 45 minutes on the phone with an agent with what seemed like a very competitive quote. In the end, when we were about to proceed with payment, he said the quote went up from $1200/year to $2700/year!!!! This was because I moved abroad for two years and so was not insured, and they told me I had to start over as a new driver. I have a perfectly clean record for over 10 years with no claims whatsoever. I can't believe they penalize people for having a life. Outrageous. I found another great company that stuck to the $1200 a year and even they couldn't believe it when I told them!

BELAIR DIRECT

by tanya.t on May 10, 2018

This company is run by monkeys. I will never after my year of being insured go back to paying for anything with them. After a full year of driving, no infractions, no problems, they notified me LESS THAN A MONTH prior to my policy renewing that it would be $80 more than I was currently paying. I tried to book my G (Ontario Full License), within time but was unsuccessful in being able to. THEN they decided to charge me my new rate a month before my policy actually renewed, which had not been discussed the two times I had called to speak with a representative before my payment. The first rep I talked to on the phone told me if I had gotten my G within the very minimal timeframe giving to me my rate would drop $120 dollars.... the second person I spoke to told me otherwise and my rate would only drop $100, this company has perfected inconsistency. Find other insurance even if it's a little more in pricing. You're better off.

So disappointed

Thought this company was 1st class, my premium was in review in underwriting, had to call 4 times for an update. My premium was increased for no reason, good driving record. Needless to say, looking elsewhere. 2 thumbs down.

Renewal rip-off

by Dirk on Mar 24, 2018
1.5 out of 5 stars

I had an at-fault accident last year and 2 years ago damage to my vehicle which was not rated as an accident. Now they are saying I "used up" my accident forgiveness with my first claim of damage to the vehicle and therefore my rate goes up 200%... after 26 years of accident free and one speeding ticket on my record that seems crazy... got comparable rates from other insurances and instead of paying Belairdirect $330/month I will be with another company at $150/month starting April...

Terrible company

by Sanospin on Jan 14, 2018

Terrible, I drove with the Automerit app for nine months and earned a 9% discount, only to have the rate increased 15% without any accident or tickets. The Automerit program is a complete lie. I'm totally disappointed with Belairdirect, you're better off with any other company.

If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.

Insurance scam

by Dallas2306 on Nov 16, 2017

Bel air increased my insurance $360 a year because of the location I live in, I have a perfect driving record no accidents, no claims and no tickets shouldn't my insurance go down not up. I've lived in the same place for 3 years why would my insurance go up now. It's the scam insurance companies have on the go

Bad

They tell you they can save you money. Well, that is a joke after the first year they never asked if I wanted to renew just sent me my insurance slips. Phone them and to my surprise, they increased my premium a year by 500.00 dollars more a year. No accidents no claims am over 50. This company is a complete joke and I never would tell anyone to get insurance with them.

BelAir Increased premiums

by Carmom on Sep 22, 2017
2 out of 5 stars

Upon renewal my policy went from 69$ to over 90$ /mo.
I have no accident or claims history. Was with CDI since new vehicle was bought. Car was 23k, now less than 5k, why are my premiums higher than when it was brand new, and I was younger, less experienced? I have no demerits.
The agent told me premiums have increased for all drivers becauae of an increase in claims in "my category" last year? What category is that? The one where responsible drivers dont have any claims? Nonsense. I believe this is a result if their acquiring CDI and not having automatic consent to pull my credit bureau upon renewal. My credit history has no bearing on my driving. Ive always paid my insurance.
I requested to have a full accounting of exactly why my insurance increased to $90/mo.
The agent said she would see what she could do about that, no guarantee of return call, email or written explanation.
I will not be renewing with Belair.

Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.

Price increase

by Tammy Hannell on Jun 10, 2017
1.5 out of 5 stars

So, to my surprise, for being a good driver, no tickets, no accidents, ZERO CLAIMS, MY insurance jumped from $1427.00 a year to $1800.00 and this is supposedly with my combined savings for also having content ins. And because I pay it all upfront. They proceeded to tell me it's because of my vehicle rating. I'm a single mom on disability. Going through cancer. I was shocked, upset and disappointed. Especially after having 4 of my family members change their Insurance companies to them. After calling around. I found rates at $1369.00 this is without bundled savings. So obviously I wasn't that much of a respected customer! And if it where nothing to do with my vehicle rating how can another company be 400$+ a year. The broker I spoke with said I'm the other client from Belair direct. Making the change
