Terrible expérience

by Red on Mar 29, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

Bonjour, j’ai été victime d’une compagnie d’assurance,
Ils ont résilié mon contract sans m’envoyer une lettre de résiliation, ils m’ont laissé conduire mon véhicule sans assurance auto et sans m’informer.
j’ai faite un accident en février, une semaine après, je les ai appelé, et à cet moment la que j’ai réalisé que mon assurance était résilié en janvier, un mois exactement avant l’accident.
Le contract a duré 1 mois et une semaine, du fin novembre 2021 jusqu’au début janvier 2022 d’après eux et il a été résilié a cause de non payement. Est ce que à ce moment là je perds mon droit d’être informé ? Bah non. Mais eux ils avait les kilos de ne pas m’informer Ni par courriels ni par téléphone et ni par poste ( d’après eux la lettre a été retournée par poste Canada. Mais meme si c’est le cas, ils devaient la renvoyer ou bien envoyer la lettre par courriel si ils étaient vraiment correcte).
en gros, le contract a été résilié avant l’accident d’après eux bien sûr et comme par hasard j’avais rien reçu, et après avoir fait l’accident, la tolérance au paiement n’est plus disponible lol et le contract s’arrête exactement un mois avant l’accident. qui a duré en tout un mois et une semaine 😅
Quand je les ai appelé, ils n’ont même pas arrivé à raconter la même histoire. Ils ont même pas été d’accord sur la date d’envoi de la lettre de résiliation. Chaque agent raconte son histoire.
je vais pas tout balancer ici, je laisse le reste pour mon avocat au bon endroit.
Je voudrais surtout prévenir tout le monde de faire très gaffe avec ce types de compagnies 😉
J’aurai aimé donné 0 étoiles. Ou bien -5

Cancelled Policy

by Jordan on Apr 13, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

Cancelled my policy with no notification... It is 2021 make a system that properly notifies customers via email or SMS to mobile # on file. Mailing out invoices to the wrong address is exactly why this happened. Also, the lack of moral ethics in BelairDirect to cancel any policy with a customer during a global pandemic is absolutely shameful.

They took one more payment out after i cancelled it a month later, and won't give me my money back. I moved out of the province and went with another company.

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.

20+ years client

I am extremely disappointed that after 20 + years with this company and Zero claims Belair is charging $690 more a year for a Dodge Caravan. Really? A Caravan. Not to mention the cancellation fee they refused to waive when I cancelled my insurance. After all these years and no claims. Very disappointing.

Would rate zero

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.

More money

by Jay on Nov 13, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

Been with Belairdirect for over 7 years and they want a cancellation fee. Every year my insurance goes up. Never down. I have never been in an accident. I am a professional driver with a Dz license but they don’t even consider that. They should lower the insurance for the people who actually know how to drive and don’t get tickets or claims. I will never use this company again and I will be telling everyone I know not to use this company.

Worst Insurance Company Ever

by BelairSucks on Nov 12, 2019

Was a loyal Belair customer for 10 years. When I split up with my spouse I called them to remove him from my insurance policy and a month later they informed me that my upcoming renewal would actually be more money than when we had two cars and 2 drivers. They also informed me that my personal 10-star rating would be dropped to a four-star to "accommodate the change". This made no sense so, I spoke to two different representatives who could not get any logical explanation of what they were talking about and ended up just cancelling going elsewhere and saving over half. I don't recommend this company! They are unethical and they will jack your rates with absolutely no explanation or reason. I also cancelled well within my policy guidelines and they are trying to take a cancellation fee from me.

Lied about cancellation fees

by BlondieSL on Oct 21, 2019

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!!!

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.

Glad I cancelled!

My experience has been awful since the renewal of my insurance. After being a customer of 5 years my insurance was put back to what I was originally paying my 1st year as a customer. After finding cheaper insurance I decided to cancel with BellAir. When I cancelled on Sept 3rd I had a payment going out that night. I was told they are going to still take it but I will receive it back within 5 business days. After not receiving my payment back within 5 days I called again and was told they have a date and it will be back in my account by the 17th. Again after not receiving it by the 17th, I called again 1st time had a rude representative and was hung up. And 2nd time was told again that my money is going to be in my account by Sep 19th. Overall I hate that I wasted 5 years with this company.
