Deceptive online quotes

by debmarch on Mar 15, 2018
1 out of 5 stars

I recently completed an online quote with Belair. The original quote was a bit lower than the other insurers, however, after 2 weeks of calls and request for more information, the rate doubled. I am a senior who drives a modest amount in a year and have a clean driving record. At this point, I contacted an All State agent. Within 45 minutes I had a lower quote and new insurance certificate emailed to me.

Customer Service Disaster

by NOPE on Mar 7, 2018
1.5 out of 5 stars

Have no idea how to properly support their customers. I had been a Belair client for close to 10 years and every time I had to interact with them it was horrific. If changing insurance wasn't such a headache they would definitely go out of business. Do your best and find another company - and if they are the cheapest rate at the time, make sure you compare when it comes to your renewal as I guarantee they will hike it up if possible.

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.

Misleading Sales Staff!

by Mckinnon on Feb 3, 2018
2 out of 5 stars

I was a car owner 4 years ago. I chose Belair because I knew their rates were supposed to be reasonable. I spoke to the sales staff at that time and they explained I could save money on my policy if I didn't take collision. The way they explained that to me was done so in such a way that I wouldn't have thought to take the collision option. I told them this was the first time I was getting insurance and that I needed help understanding. They just kept telling me it was cheaper and better to go without it. So fast forward to the present. Yesterday I got into an accident due to weather. My car hit ice and spun out of control. I rolled my car and landed upside down. I then find out I am not covered for ANYTHING by my insurance except for injury. I walked away totally fine physically, but my car was totalled. So after paying these people thousands for 4 years, and thinking I was covered for something like that, and then to find out that you aren't? It's deplorable. Help new car owners understand what these terms mean!

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.

Money Hungry

I have been with Canadian Direct/ Belair Direct for at least 10 yrs. Recently I added my husband to my policy with a vehicle. The cost of that was insane given the circumstances he has only been licensed for 2 yrs. I went insurance shopping and found a place that charged me half for the same coverage (Millennium insurance). Belair offered no rewards or discounts, but they had applied all discounts. Found a cheaper place and then proceeded to take my husband off my policy along with the second vehicle; after doing that my following payment went up over 120dollars. They said that what I am being charged for is having my husband on my policy for less than 30 days. Are you kidding me? Do Not Go Here.

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

by Bev on Oct 30, 2017

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.

Worst ever

Good prices but hopefully you never have a claim. Never seen a company treat people so bad after being with them for 16 years without a claim.

20% prem increase w/o notice!

by jns on Oct 15, 2017
1.5 out of 5 stars

These guys increased my premium on the auto insurance by 30% in the past two years (10% in 2016 and another 20% in 2017). Last year they at least sent me a written notice in regards the changes. They didn't bother to inform me this year at renewal, I just noticed the changes while checking my bank account where they take the premiums from. Their customer service wouldn't respond on my complaint when I tried disputing the changes. Before anyone would think the increase is due to my claims; I had no claims for many years and I'm sitting in the best available -15 grid level. Where does the money go then? My best guess is their expensive (and idiotic) TV commercials, I don't see any other insurance company spend this much on advertisements.
