After 15 years of being a loyal customer they cancel my insurance

by CANCELLED on Sep 5, 2024
1 out of 5 stars

After 15 years of paying car insurance on time with Belair, I received a letter of cancellation of my policy less than 1 month before I run out of insurance, they made it so no other insurance company would take me on and the entire thing is completely injustice, they cancelled my insurance because I made an unsafe lane change and that signaled to them, I'm a BIG liability. When I spoke to any agent to clarify what exactly took place to come to canceling me, they were like robots, no empathy, and just patronizing. Even their letter was a slap in the face, they let me know I'm cancelled they had the audacity to remind me it's a VIOLATION to drive without insurance.

Not worth it

Insurance policy was cancelled without warning and with no attempt to contact me due to “non-payment”. The company has my address, email, and phone number, and yet I did not receive any communication of an issue with the payment at any point. I only found out when I was required to renew my license plate the following year - and Belair expected me to pay an extra $2000 each year because of their screw-up. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else.

Do not use this company!!!

The worst company I have ever dealt with. Never get insurance here! They tried taking a double payment, when my policy started on a new billing cycle they still took money from my account for the previous month that I did not have insurance for. Try calling and speaking to an agent to change my payment date, and they advised it would be a double payment as it is a month-to-month contract. Call back to cancel as I found better insurance for over 1200.00 cheaper per year, and now it’s a year's contract, even though I spent over 45 minutes the day before with the agent telling me several times it’s a month by month contract. Was advised that I would have to pay 175.00 to cancel, advised I wouldn’t pay that they put me on hold to speak to their manager who refused to waive the fee when I asked to speak with him about his decision I was told oh he doesn’t talk to the consumer. This company is not worried about the consumer, just about the money. Such a lack in customer service and empathy. Advised them to listen to the taped conversation before he decided not to waive the cancellation fee, and was advised that’s not his job? So now have to wait up to 48 hrs to speak to someone else to get the fee waived, which we know will be denied! Worst company when it comes to service and the consumer, they only care about money!!!!

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.

Scammers

Belair's original quote was $124.00 a month. I specifically stated that they were to withdraw the money on the 30th of every month. Without my knowledge they withdrew
$233.99 from my bank account 2 days later.
What made me discover this?
Three days after they took the money out of my account, I received a cancellation of my insurance letter.
This is what Belair Insurance Company does to seniors with low incomes.
So essentially I received 5 days of coverage for $233.99.
Now they have me in collections for $1617.00.
P.S. I never had a claim in my life of driving for 50 years.

Horrible customer service with ridiculous red tape

I would never recommend belairdirect to anyone looking for insurance. I wanted to cancel my auto renewal which went from $1400 to $2400 a year. But 12:01 on the renewal date was early this morning so they want to charge me $256.00 to cancel a policy I did not renew. Hard to believe that an insurance company we have had for years, no moving violations and no accidents could actually almost double our insurance renewal and then without our consent [or payment] renew it and then have the audacity to change us for a cancellation roughly 12 hours after the effective date. We will be changing our home insurance a week before our due date to ensure we have nothing more to do with them.

NEVER GO WITH BELAIRDIRECT

by Dynofun on Jul 15, 2023

YOU WILL BE INFLUENCED BY THEIR SALES REPRESENTATIVES TO REGISTER WITH THEIR SERVICES as they might be a little bit more competitive prices than other auto insurances. This is what has happened to me. I regret it big times for not viewing the reviews here. I offer pre-authorized payments 6 weeks prior to the end of my auto insurance. I contact the customer representatives 3 times and I declared to them that I do not wish to renew my auto insurance. They ignored me and they kept withdrawing their monthly payment from my bank account. So the last month, I contact my bank and put a STOP payment. Belairdirect has charged me $40 banking fees plus taxes. Now I am escalating this issue to the consumer alert at CTV NEWS. It is probably the worst auto insurance in the country! All they care about is obtaining your money.

Belair is a joke

Cancelled my insurance with no warning. I called in as my payment came back (bank's fault) and the guy said he'll get back to me no call no email just happened to look on my app it said cancelled. I will never tell anyone to use these guys what a joke I was a 10+ client with no accidents.

Opposite of what an insurance company is supposed to be

by Belairdirect sucks on Aug 31, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

Never got into a single accident. Not one. Ever. I get one speeding ticket on one bad day. One single $95 dollar speeding ticket, and I get booted. I wasn’t being dangerous, just in a rush on a completely empty road. Absolutely mind-meltingly stupid. These people will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. Absolutely horrible insurance company. Stay far away.

Online Quotes are a joke! Customer Service doesn't exist!

by SHall on Jun 4, 2022

I did the online quote then spoke with an agent. The quote then doubled so I looked at other companies and found a MUCH better policy that offered a lot more for less premium. Immediately requested Belairdirect to cancel the transaction and they took money out of my bank account, despite me placing a stop payment. I have made several attempts to recover this money and as of right now, they have not refunded my money and continue to try to take monthly premiums from my bank account. I have received a response that someone is "looking into" this matter, yet it does not appear they are doing that. I cancelled everything on Apr.20/22 and it is now June 4/22.
A very despicable way of doing business!
