10% discount is big scam

by Harshil patel on Dec 4, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

At the time of getting insurance their agents tell you to use application and get 10% off your premium but they never tell you that if you forgot to open app while driving that discount will be taken of forever and the agent over the phone got so much attitude from no where like if you can not help your customers then at least don’t try to say that we can not change the policy but you can change insurance,
Remember guys they never tell you that they will taken off 10% for the rest of the year if you miss opening application while driving and i told them that i drive company van everyday and with covid going on i don't go out much on weekends and even with that like who remember to turn the freaking app while driving and this small reason is good enough for this scammers to take your 10% off right away.
Total crappy reason for this scammers

Terrible

by Unhappycustomer on Jun 1, 2021

After being with this company since 2015, I have nothing positive to say.
Two instances of them not billing me correctly. Two instances of them trying to cancel my insurance as a result without emailing or calling me. Not to mention terrible amounts I pay as someone who has never had an accident, ticket, anything, somehow I was paying 30$ more per month than my boyfriend who is with another company who has had an accident and several tickets.
I would not recommend this company to anyone.
Customer service very unwilling to help. Terrible experience

Poor Service

by Minksel on Apr 2, 2021
1.5 out of 5 stars

It used to be a pleasure to deal with Belair's call centre. Staff were knowledgeable and gave good service. In the last two years however, it has deteriorated terribly. Staff have little insurance knowledge, or interest in service, and just want to fill in blanks.
Filing a complaint is no good either because that just results in rude harassing telephone calls from the complaints department.
I have found a local broker who provides good personal service and the rates are actually cheaper.

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.

Worst service

Their contact centre people are terrible! Every time you called them they don't know anything. They keep telling you we will call back and nobody calls you back. 4 times I called them they keep transferring here and there and when I asked to speak to their supervisor they said they are not available. I mean are you guys crazy if you don't know anything I asked to escalate then they don't have a manager available... What the hell you guys are getting paid for. The worst experience with call centre representatives. The last time I spoke to a lady Julie who in return started shouting I was asking her something else she does not understand English she was replying something else.

Huge cancellation fees

by Ravi.d on Apr 15, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

Worst customer service... These people either don't care what their customers happy or they just have really bad employees (most of them). I called in to cancel my auto insurance since they kept increasing by premium every month, and the agent asking me again and again "are you sure about it, what do you mean you are not using your car!!!". I mean seriously, what he wants from me, should I beg to cancel my policy, also he was acting like he was high or something... they charged me $185 to cancellation fees. Now if we searched on google, it says max. Up to 10% of the full-year payment. So I did the math, my full-year premium was $1700 and for even $1700, 10% is not $185. And I was in the middle of my year, so half of the premium I've already paid. This is the highest amount of cancellation fees I have ever seen.

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.

The worst experience ever

This company will not do their due diligence when it comes to an accident claim. I was left weeks without knowing what my outcome would be when I got into a minor accident which I later found out only through the other insurer that my claim was going to be 100% my fault even though I had evidence otherwise. Then got dropped, no call, no email nothing. Then when I call I deal with some foreign person who was extremely rude and unprofessional blaming me. If I knew I would have been able to have my claim investigated further I would have gladly done so but because this terrible company screwed me over I never bothered to pursue which was my biggest mistake. Don't ever trust this company with your life they don't care about you and just want your business and nothing more regardless if you are not at fault they blamed you. Better off going with a more reputable company and I'm happy I never have to deal with them ever again. Goodluck if this company is your insurer.

Customer service

by Janice Bush on Sep 30, 2024

We were with Johnson’s and Belair bought them or amalgamated, not sure. We have experienced the same issues with Belair as many others on this page. The customer service is terrible, on hold for a minimum of an hour. The customer service agent my husband spoke with was condescending and when he asked for a supervisor the fellow said, sorry, I won’t put you through to one. We wrote a letter advising them that if we didn’t hear from a supervisor within a week, we would not be renewing our insurance. We didn’t receive a reply. It makes us wonder how we would be treated if we submitted a claim. We will not be renewing, even if we have to pay more elsewhere. Do yourselves a favor and don’t deal with them.

- Switched me to paperless Without My Permission, so I didn't get the documents I needed. I couldn't access them online, as I didn't have internet.
- Also, kept adding additional coverage I DIDN'T ASK FOR every cycle, have to call and wait for hours every year to get them to take it off.
- App is pure dystopia. My privacy is worth more than $50 a year. Agents very rude if you refuse it.
- At least it's cheap. As long as you remember to call every year and refuse whatever they added. Good luck getting through to a human, and you can't refuse their add-ons with the web page.
I've never written an angry review in my life. I've also never made an insurance claim in my life. These guys take over, and I've had nothing but misery. If you can find it cheaper elsewhere, get it. Don't get the app, it's a scam.

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.
