Avoid this corrupt insurer

I called to add a vehicle to my present insurance company. It seems they don't want to deal with customers except through the internet. Tough to do if you don't have access to the internet.
After a long wait, I spoke to an agent who did not speak clearly and who did not really seem to know very much about adding a vehicle to my present insurance.
After 48 minutes I lost contact. I am going to be looking for another insurer...
I filled out the online form to buy car insurance today
and when I finished gave me a quote quickly. When I called to confirm and buy a telephone operator could hardly speak English and I am fluently bilingual.
She said she had to ask the same questions again and the date she had told me for a claim I reported more than 4 years ago was somehow wrong according to her but it wasn't on the form I filled out an hour earlier so she said based on changing the date of that claim my premium would increase by $47 per month WHAT A JOKE AND POOREST CUSTOMER SERVICE I EVER HAD
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.
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.
I spoke with a rep and he was kind, patient and informative. Very helpful in making all changes I needed.

I submitted a claim to repair a slight fender bender with my car.
This was easy to do online.
And Belair responded quickly.
But to activate the repair process, Belair insisted that my vehicle must be purged of license plates and any personal possessions.
The agent that I waited 2 hours to speak to had not taken 1 minute to read the police report which suggested that the damages were restricted to a cracked fender which might cost $2500 to repair.
The agent, without looking at a single photo, kept telling me that the car was a "write off" and she was insistent that the car should be towed at their expense to their own graveyard facility and written off.
Doubtless, she has never heard of the felonious nature of "bad faith" laws.
I will keep this notification anonymous until Belair has written off this vehicle and then I will pay for the trivial repairs and launch my legal action.
I waited two hours to speak to their Bolivian call center before I got through. These are two hours of my life which I will never get back!
The Belair agent kept filling me with doom and gloom.
The entire experience was a nightmare.
I dread the worst in their final report.
Any car can be repaired!
That is the reason we buy insurance.
The overestimation of repair costs in Belair's ceaseless quest to write vehicles off will likely land this agent with a $100,000 fine...
Avoid this corrupt enterprise at all costs!
A single scratch on your Mercedes will cost you the entire value of the car.
That assumes you have the patience to wait 2 hours to speak to the part-time casual staff in their Bolivian call center.
In times of crisis, we count on insurers to diminish anxiety not to manufacture it.
