Review of Belairdirect Insurance Services

by Tiljo Thekkeparambil Antony on Mar 16, 2024
1 out of 5 stars

I recently engaged with Belairdirect for an online insurance quote, initially enticed by their attractive rates. However, upon closer examination and interaction with their customer service, my experience took a disappointing turn.

After receiving what seemed like a reasonable estimate online, I proceeded to provide my bank account details, expecting a smooth transition. However, upon contact with a customer care representative, I was informed of an additional requirement regarding training from a certified driving institute, a condition not clearly outlined on their website.

This discrepancy between the online quote and subsequent communication with the customer service team has left me dissatisfied with Belairdirect's service. The disparity in the provided information and the subsequent increase in the quote, coupled with what appears to be a false reason, raises concerns regarding transparency and integrity within their operations.

As a potential customer seeking reliable insurance services, I expected a clearer and more consistent communication process from Belairdirect. Regrettably, this experience has led me to question the reliability and trustworthiness of their services.

In conclusion, while Belairdirect may offer initially attractive quotes online, the lack of transparency and inconsistency in their communication ultimately overshadow the positive aspects, leaving me hesitant to further engage with their services.

The worst customer service

by Jodes on Feb 10, 2024
1.5 out of 5 stars

I recently needed to speak with Bel-air’s customer service because my credit card had expired, I forgot to update them with the new expiration date. I received a notice in the mail about this. And, called them immediately. They proceeded to tell me I was on notice for cancellation for non payment. I have been a customer of theirs for 10 years. This is the first time I’ve had this issue or any issue. The rep told me I’d have to pay 2 NSF fees. I protested, because it was a simple card error. Had someone called me instead of MAILING me a notice. This would have resolved immediately. The agent was rude. He claimed he’d waive one of the fees but, then had to charge me a reinstatement fee, which I argued is ridiculous because my insurance isn’t cancelled. He offered me zero extra help. When I asked to speak with a manger. He put me on hold. Then said they’d call me back… maybe in 2 days. But, he couldn’t guarantee. It’s been 4 days. No call. I don’t expect one either. I called a friend who works in insurance she informed me, they are conducting unethical practice by charging 2 NSF fees. I have paid everything they wanted because I can’t have a cancellation due to non payment and I’m moving all my insurance needs to another provider. Bel-Air’s slightly lower rates = the worst customer service.

I’ve already moved my home insurance from them after a horrible experience when I needed help from them. Don’t waste your time or money here.

Their customer service agents are super incompetent

Some of the agents are super incompetent and they straight up lie regarding the policy and the pricing. I had a terrible experience with them and I'm never going back

Really Bad Experience

by Ross Scott on Nov 30, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

The quote they give you online is not even close to the actual amount. You need to call them and go through the whole process again and my quote was almost $100 more per month with little to no changes in my information. They also don't let you view the quote you got online ever again even when you ask for it.

Please don't waste your time with these people like I did. The overall review rating on this page says it all!

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.

Terrible Customer service experience.

I was talking to an agent named Chander and was treated poorly by him. I was inquiring about my insurance renewal and he told me that inflation affects rates but I said, we the customers are also affected by inflation but how can you, Belair, help us with it? He said he didn’t appreciate talking to me. I think that it is valid for customers to ask questions out of curiosity but maybe due to the lack of his knowledge or training, he could not provide me with a sufficient answer. I was very disappointed and hung up immediately. This isn’t the first time this is happening. I’ve dealt with this many times and it surprises me because I have multi-car and home insurance and have been with Belair for 4-5 years. There are so many gaps in the service they provide to customers, sometimes that the calls last for about 2 hours because they don’t know what to do.

25 Years of Insurance and I Choose BELAIRDIRECT

by Joleen Watson on Apr 27, 2022
5 out of 5 stars

I've had no claims with Belairdirect. So I can't speak to their follow-through. However, the staff through my experiences have been very helpful, polite and easy to work with. I'm knocking on wood and hope to never need to experience the claims side of things but I do have a free accident with them if it occurs.
Overall great experience. Far better than my experience with another 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.

Amazing customer service

I've only been insured for 1 month, so no claims yet (I'll update my review later if necessary), but I have honestly never had better customer service with ANY company than I've had with BelairDirect so far. The agent I worked with (Mark L) went way above and beyond to get me the best possible rate. I haven't had car insurance since high school (which was a LONG time ago) so to help me get proof of that insurance and lower my rate, he called my grandpa AND my grandpa's insurance company for me. When they wouldn't release the info to him, he hooked up a group call and sat on hold with me (for a long time) and cracked hilarious jokes... and then did it all over again when our call was accidentally dropped! He saved me more than $500 with a fully-stacked plan and undercut every other quote I got by a long shot. I really felt like I was working with a person and not a salesman. Fingers crossed that the claims process is this good!
