Huge Increase unjustified

by Ripped in Barrie on Mar 12, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

Belair just raised our liability premium 66 % without justification. This vehicle is not used for work because we are retired. Just around town with total km's per year around 3000. Our government is letting insurance companies do whatever they please. I will never deal with this company again nor vote for a government that serves the insurance companies over their constituents

Terrible Experience

by Joe on Feb 27, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

Terrible experience with Bellairdirect. I was a customer with them for 4 years. My company transferred me for assignment to the US for a few months. I gave bellairdirect a call just to confirm that I would be covered for the few months while working in the States as I was taking my car with me. Because I was unable to provide a exact return date (tho I said it would be less than their 6 month period they were telling me I would be covered for), I was told I had 20 days to cancel my policy with them or I would be canceled directly by them. At the time we had multiple members of my family insured through bellairdirect. Lucky I was able to find a new provider who had no problem insuring me for my time in the US. Awful customer loyalty and service. Would not recommend.

claim in august 2012

I have been a client since june 2007 and this insurance has been excellent in resolving my claim. Also i have checked around for cheaper insurance and no one has more bang for your buck than this company. So whoever has sour grapes you must be sour yourself.

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.

Deceptive Practise

by mtlescortzone on Feb 23, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

Horrible overall experience. They wanted to void my claim just because I had a check airbag sign lit on. The thing that saved the day was the fact that I was not at fault, even if I had a 2 way complete coverage to start with. They have used every single tactic to low ball me on the value of my car. There are better choices for your hard earned money. Still lost money with them despite doing all the right thing.

Good company

by Valleygirl on Feb 17, 2016
4 out of 5 stars

I have been with Belair for a very long time for both home and auto. I have had a number of auto claims, mostly for glass, and have never had one single problem making a claim. The claims were handled professionally, quickly and fairly and my rates are still low. I definitely recommend Belair Insurance.

BEWARE BELAIR

by oneP'Doffcustomer on Feb 11, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

I have been a costumer of belair direct for 1.5 years. Recently a electrical fire started in my vehicle, completely rendering my vehicle. When I first signed up with belair I was in a rush to get my policy started. The agent who sold me my policy did not clarify with me the certain coverage my policy had. Paying $2900 dollars I figured I had basic and comprehensive coverage, turns out the agent only listed me on for liability. I purchased my vehicle with a loan of $10000 and stated to the agent when I started my policy. At no point did they offer me any coverage to ensure I would be covered in any circumstances where the vehicle would be damaged or a loss. Since they do all their business over the phone, you will not see your policy package for a couple months. When they policy package came in the mail, looking over it I assumed based on what I was reading I had coverage for property damages. Turns out you really need to look at what BS they are sending you. This company is 100% a scam. All they care about is taking your money and putting it in their pockets. That's about the only thing they are good at doing. Now I am $8000 dollars in debt with no vehicle to get to and from work. Thanks Belair Direct!

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.

customer service

by Jeff F. on Feb 5, 2016
5 out of 5 stars

I recently applied for auto insurance with Belair Direct, the person I spoke with his name is Josh was very professional and friendly. Josh even asked me many questions and looked for the best possible discounts to have lower rates. He did come back after being on hold and mentioned that the overall policy will be 3 dollars more per month and I was OK with that because it was only a small amount. I really appreciated everything Josh did for me so in other words I was very happy with the service I had with Belair. Oh yes I would like to mention that I was a previous customer of Belair 3 years ago and have returned with them because I had remembered the great quality of insurance offered and the great service.

Cancellation Fee

by Disappointed Driver on Jan 12, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

After being unable to provide both my roommate and I with tenant insurance (for the sole reason that we were roommates), I was forced to take my business to another company that could package my home and auto insurance together.
I was charged 200 dollars as a cancellation fee for administrative costs. I'm assuming this is to mitigate any money I might save by moving to another insurance company? When I asked if I could speak with someone who could explain the charge in depth, the operator informed me that no exceptions would be made and the fee was to be paid or I would be put into collections.
A really overall unpleasant experience with a company that I not only felt I could trust, but in whose hands I had been placing my livelihood in the case of an accident. Yuck.

criminal records

by Jailbird on Dec 28, 2015
2.5 out of 5 stars

I had just recently got a criminal record and to my surprise Belair decided they can't insure me because "people with criminal records have a higher risk of making claims". That is the most disgusting superficial thing I've ever heard. My criminal record has NOTHING to do with driving and they still decide not to insure me. Anyways stay away they're to expensive and have pretty dumb policies...it's more of a circus then a business
