Worst customer service

by Rounaq on Dec 24, 2018
1 out of 5 stars

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had with a company. They do not value customer at all and their customer satisfaction guarantee is just for show. My adjuster never returned any of my calls. The customer service representatives were rude and condescending. They give you the run around about everything. I paid out of pocket for the car rental even though it was covered under my policy and they are refusing to refund me back! I wish I never switched insurance companies!

do not use Belairdirect

On a Saturday of May of this year, my vehicle was hit by someone who ran a stop sign. I immediately called to report the issue but because it was outside of regular hours, I was unable to connect with anyone until Monday morning. When I did finally speak to a representative, they quickly made arrangements to get me a rental car and referred me to their preferred auto body shop. Over the last two months, I have been driving a rental car. My car has not yet been returned to me and is still in pieces at the body shop. I am extremely disappointed with both the service I have received from Belairdirect and the claims advisor assigned to my claim and Beliardirect's preferred auto body shop, Kingston limestone auto body. When I took my car in, I was told it would take 15 days to repair once the quote was approved. When I got the quote, I had questions, so I reached out to my claims advisor. I provided multiple forms of contact information and expressed that I did not have access to my personal phone during regular office hours requesting I be contacted at work or by email. My claims advisor refused to contact me any other way than with my personal number and called specifically when I advised them I would be unable to answer. My emails were replied to with phone messages where I was given incorrect information on a number of occasions. I spent countless hours speaking to other claims representatives trying to connect with my claims advisor and having to explain each time what was going on to someone new who had little understanding of the situation. Even the auto body shop commented that the hurdles that were being put up were ridiculous with Belairdirect declining to complete repairs directly related to the accident that was required to put my car safely back on the road. After a month of back and forth, the auto body shop started the work. Again I was told it would be 15 days until it was completed. For the last two weeks, I’ve been told my car would be ready next week. I can provide countless other examples of poor customer service throughout this experience, suffice to say I have zero positive feedback to provide about Belairdirect or Limestone auto body. If you are looking for insurance, I would highly recommend looking elsewhere.

Worst experience ever....

by Tony on May 28, 2018

1. Was told 3 different dates for adjuster to see my car 2. Was told 3 different dates for car rental coverage (which I paid for and am covered for) 3. Was hung up on 3 times 4. Asked to speak to my claim manager and was told she (Shauna) was in a meeting all day 5. Adjuster didn’t want to fix all damages and scratches 6. Adjuster wanted to cheaply fix damages. All of this is under premium insurance, mind you. They throw technicalities and formalities at you when you aren’t satisfied with the poor service and rude staff members. Every time I called to try to resolve a problem, they would issue a new problem. Nothing but headaches. And they do not hold themselves accountable for what comes out of their staff members mouths. Never ever get insurance from these bum crooks. Worst company ever!!!

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.

Suffering from PTSD

Belairdirect lied to me about what is going on with my claim so the team member didn't have to deal with their customer. Belair made me feel suicidal due to their treatment of me. Made me wait to release the funds to fix my car while my adjuster had a nice vacation. The rental car didn't have snow tires like my car has. So I was trapped in my house for almost 4 months while they mishandled my claim. During my 2 years with them, they made me prove my address twice or they would cancel my policy. Then they claim they never received my info even when I paid to fax the documents. If you get Mike, Kajal or Marilyn, ask for someone else to handle your case. Calling the manager is a waste of time because they and the adjusters don't return phone calls. Also, managers switched halfway through my case because it dragged on so long. Try emailing!!!!

This company is fraud

I bought travel insurance which include facility to get replacement transportation for damaged car. That was as told to me is valid for any car. I did not buy insurance from my rental car assuming I am protected. When my car was robbed in San Jose and window was broken they simply refused to provide any service to me and I also have home isurance that protects me from damage to property they didn’t advice me to claim for my stolen items. Their agents are trained to avoid any liability for companies even if customer deserves it and paid for it. They are threatening me to report to credit bureau since I stoped their payment upon dissatisfactiry customer service no one called or followed up except for payments. Please avoid this company.

Full of Dishonest people

The most disastrous insurance company – lying adjusters, lying people who work for them. I had a full coverage policy that was supposed to cover me in case of an accident. They say - you can get a rental car for about $1,500 dollars till your car gets fixed but my car was a write-off and they only provided a rental car for 5 day which costed $250. It has been 4 month and they have not sent my cheque, they claim that it was sent once and went to the wrong address. Yet, I still don't know how long will it take for me to get my cheque. They are scammers and liars who are sitting behind their desks and fool people.

DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY

by Angery on Aug 5, 2016

A taxi pulled out in front of me. Clearly NOT my fault even by the police. They claimed they could not find the other's insurance number and wanted to keep deductible even though it was not my fault!. 5 weeks later after I had messaged them and mentioned lawyer and police they were willing to settle and promised a cheque would be delivered on a certain day the cheque never arrived. I am now without a vehicle, they are taking the rental they gave me away and I no longer have any way of getting to so I will lose my job. I was talking to a lawyer and he said it sounds like a scam to keep my deductible. I did some searching and found the others info in 10 minutes. Something they could not do in 5 weeks. The police already want to talk to them as they gave me a number to give to them that they should call.
Avoid this company at all cost!

Nightmare...

If someone could only realize to which point dishonest insurance can mess up your life. How you can end up losing your job when you work on a road and the insurance company takes 4 months to pay you off and you have no car. And how do you picture a sales representative with no car?

I work for a beer company and was involved in a car accident and just because I had few cans of UNOPENED beer in the trunk that I showcase my clients, they said that there is a possibility that I was drunk when I was involved in the accident.

After a month, they took the rental and I kept the rental for another month by paying for it. This is all what I could afford. (I just got out of a bankruptcy). Another month of borrowing friends' cars and until that was no longer either. Then had to quit my job and struggle for another month until they finally paid me. Now, have to restart everything since day 1. If you value your well-being, don't go with Belair or their shady owner Intact Assurance
