Belairdirect Auto Insurance Reviews

I have been with Bellair for 4 months now and have had issues with every single billing cycle so far. My insurance was signed at $335 monthly, and every month I have been charged a higher fee for a reason that cannot be explained apparently! This month they tried to charge me twice! I always pay my bills on time so there is no reason for this or any confusion. Another thing was this month I was billed on the 8th when every other month I’ve been billed on the 19th. I do not like that they have access to my account like so to just charge to my card without my permission.

I was a customer for 4 months, called to make a claim and was informed that my insurance was cancelled. Upon further investigation I was able to find out that they sent a registered letter, I had never received such a letter. I contacted Belair Direct to see if they could tell me who signed for the letter but they would not disclose the information and just stated that since they did not receive the registered letter as being returned to the sender that it was received by the correct party. Be warned they will cancel you at any time with no communication and you will may be left without a vehicle and zero compensation.

If would be less value than one star I would give that... A. It has been 2.5 months that I suffered a loss and Belairdirect is putting me through HELL! B. They even treated and considered me a criminal to one point and then they apologized about that. C. The worst experience in my 54 years of life and hope wish and pray that no one goes through what I am going through with BELAIRDIRECT!!! They are ruthless, heartless and do not give a damn about you or your claim.

Canceled after 5 days when we realized the coverage was half of what we had with the other company. They charged 200 cancellation fee didn’t care rude and patronizing representatives we will never deal or recommend this horrible company!

Their Auto Merit Program is another way of taking money from you!!! I got my final quote without the auto merit program because I told them I can't download the app. After 2 months they increased my premium by 15%, saying because I didn't enroll on their auto merit. That was not even mentioned in the policy. I called their office and obviously, they will not change it because they have to be consistent on taking money from customers apart from the premium which is just the legal part of the contract, and they get used to that and having more is not enough for them, so, they find ways to rob you. Had I known how bad they make business, I would haven't even click their website!

I contacted Belair direct for a new auto insurance quote. They quoted me an incredible price, and after 10 minutes with the agent, I was transferred to another agent to close the deal. I have been continuously licensed for 24 years (1995 until now), and have had no claims or tickets. I was pleased with the price which was significantly cheaper than other insurance companies. I gave them my driver's license number and my wife's and then after 40 mins on the phone with them, he informs me the quote has gone up 25% because their database only goes back to 2000, and I don't get credit for my driving from 1995-2000 (ages 16-21). They suggested I get a driver's abstract from Alberta which of course is almost impossible to do from Ontario, and would require me to travel there (which they know beforehand). This was clearly made up to increase my premium. Don't waste your time contacting them, it is all too good to be true!!! Classic bait and switch. You'll waste an hour and they will try to fleece you.

I was tired of Belair's constantly rising rates, so I started shopping around. I found insurance with a well-known company, that was almost $600 a year less expensive as well as FULL COVERAGE and 1/2 the rate for deductible as Belair. Before jumping, I called Belair to confirm how much the cancellation fees are going to be. I was told a certain price if I did so before a specific date in Oct. If I waited until after that date, the rate would be almost 3 TIMES AS MUCH! So I cancelled immediately and signed up for the other company right away. I discovered that Belair still took out the fee for Oct/Nov! I called them and had to speak to 2 different people. Both people insisted that the cancellation fee was now the price, 3 times as much as I was quoted. Not only did they ILLEGALLY take out more money than agreed, but STILL EXPECT more! Supposedly a manager will call tomorrow, but I've dealt with the same companies before, so I know how that will go. I am investigating the steps I need to do to lodge an official complaint with IBC, Insurance Bureau of Canada as well as FSCO, Financial Services Commission of Ontario. I'm also going to investigate just how many complaints are lodged about Belair. While they are ripping me off, it will be the last and I'm so glad to get away from this corrupt company!!!

This insurance company is almost criminal in nature. Wrote off a 4-month-old Mazda 3 with 8000kms on the odometer. Personally paid $34,000 for it from the dealer in May 2019 for the car brand new. Belair wrote a cheque for $27,500 claiming that's the best they can offer since the car is now considered pre-owned. This company does nothing but beat around the bush and take advantage of their customers. Their level of customer service is absolutely pathetic. They're scammers point-blank. Spend your money on a reputable insurance company instead of these jokers.

I went online to get a quote, the price seemed good, so I called the next evening to finalize, was shocked to find my quote had changed by over 800.00 dollars! Asked representative why the difference in 24 hours, he replied that the price that I had from their web site included a discount if I bundled my house insurance with them. I explained to the representative that I did not ask for home insurance as I already have a good rate, and they should honour their quote, I asked the representative that I want to talk to his supervisor, he replied that there is no supervisor, but they have a customer experience team. I said: let me talk to them. You can't they will call you! Well, a week has gone by and no call or email. Very unprofessional and disappointed in the way this matter was handled.

Worst experience of my life. I was hit by a driver with no licence who ran a red light and totalled my car. Belair denied both my vehicle and medical benefits claims based on a non-existent application they claim I lied on. No application has ever been provided to me. I was told it was a signed document as well as a recorded phone but inquires to their claims department, sales department. And privacy officer revealed neither exists. On top of everything, the medical adjuster's partner in crime lied about interaction with me and accused me of using profane language towards her (which absolutely did not happen) resulting in my paperwork not being submitted on time. She also pre-signed all documents as my legal representative... which she most certainly was not. It took her manager 30 days to contact me and completely brushed off my concerns.
