Belairdirect Auto Insurance Reviews

Belairdirect insurance.
Worst insurance company ever.
Poor customer service. They offered me 25% of what my vehicle was worth. Then left the driver who was injured in the accident without a vehicle or way to get to physical therapy.
Still waiting almost a week now for supervisor to contact us.
CHEAP RATES MEANS CHEAP SERVICE

Belair insurance is terrible. I have been a loyal customer for 10+ years. My vehicle just got wrecked three and a half weeks ago by someone blowing a stop sign. They have been rude, uncaring, and unhelpful throughout this whole process. My adjuster did not even call me after the accident, they did not want to give me a rental and left me stranded for a ride a week and a half before I had to call them and fight to get one. They then sent me a lowball offer on my vehicle and tried to get me out of that rental within two days. My adjuster then did not tell me there was a delay in my settlement dispute for a week which led to me having to call them and demand to speak to my adjuster and a manager. I had previously sent all the receipts of the work done to the vehicle to them like they asked which equaled out to four thousand dollars. The adjuster called me and was super unhelpful as they have been unprofessional and unresponsive the whole time. The manager was great and really seemed eager to help get the claim moving to offer fair solutions like giving me back the rental they demanded back after offering me the settlement offer. They then sent me another lowball offer trying to shortchange me three thousand dollars only offering a thousand more for the four thousand dollars worth of work I had just put into the vehicle. The manager tried to call me during the day but I missed the call because I was in a dead zone and they expect you to just be okay with spending hours on the phone at work while your boss is wondering what you are doing. I called later that day asking to speak to the manager again and got told they would call me again in twenty-four hours further disrupting my work because they clearly do not care. I am supposed to get a call from the manager tomorrow and hope to get a fair resolution but I am not banking on it with how I have been treated this whole time. Definitely will be switching insurance companies as they have made me feel like a criminal.

1.7 stars out of 5 stars the same as hundreds of others. Even 1 star is too much. I made a claim on July 29 for a not-at-fault accident. After the initial report, I heard nothing from my adjuster. He said he would call back on August 2, but didn't. I emailed him on Aug 9, and he called me for the first time on Aug 10, 12 days after the collision. He made me a lowball offer on my car, which I refused. I called Belair Direct on Aug 17, 19 days after the accident. The customer service hung up on me. How dare I expect Belair to pay a claim after paying them for 10 years? Evidently, all those payments were for a piece of paper that gave the illusion that I was insured when really, I have no coverage. If you think you are insured by Belair, do yourself a favor and call a lawyer. You will need it dealing with these thieves. 70 days have passed since my NOT AT FAULT ACCIDENT, and to date, the only thing this company has given me is $45 for the ambulance. I have sent the adjuster 24 emails but nothing happens. The adjuster does not answer my calls or emails. Unbelievably bad service.
Their final offer for my car was about $3,000 short of what I thought it should be. The adjuster told me to get an independent appraisal done which I did. That showed the value of my car to be $3,000 to $5,000 more than their offer. They raised their offer by $1,000. They said they don't count independent appraisals because the appraiser always favors the client. They seem to have an answer to everything except the question of when will I get a settlement for my car. Being with Belair Direct feels like I've been caught in a scam!

I had a not-at-fault collision on July 29 involving my car and utility trailer. Despite assurances from the claims reporting office that the claim would be settled within a week, I found that Belairdirect is in no hurry to settle a claim. 70 days post-collision, I had received only $45 for ambulance reimbursement. 77 days post-collision, I receive $3100 for my trailer which cost me $5500 for an identical one. What kind of appraisal is this? After 77 days, the storage yard is making more money from storage than I'll get for my trailer. As for my car, they offered me about $5000 less than I thought it was worth. The adjuster told me to get an independent appraisal, which I did. The appraisal showed the value of my car to be $5000 more than Bellair's original offer. After 77 days, their best and final offer is still $2,000 lower than the lowest range of the independent appraisal. I have entered into their progressive complaint procedure, which has done nothing. The only thing this company does efficiently is collect its premiums. Belair is great at making you feel good until you make a claim, only then you'll realize that you are screwed.

I was involved in an accident in the left rear corner of my vehicle while stopped. Belairdirect accused me of re-entering the main road and set the decision at 50/50 fault until I provided pictures and spent hours on the phone and threatened legal action. After it was determined I was not at fault at all, they completely undervalued my vehicle and the extra add ons. They offered me a bit over $100 for trailer hitch, braking control systems, and the remote start which cost me over $1500 alone for purchase and installation. Going back and forth for a while and they would not even use my own appraisal for my vehicle. Been a driver with a clean record for over 10 years with them and was treated like this. Save your money and go elsewhere, the reviews speak for themselves

Rates were pretty competitive and customer service was good on the sales side but found very different treatment when I had to make a claim. Zero fault auto claim started with high pressure, low ball offer when they wrote off my truck. When I asked questions about the settlement amount, the adjuster started cancelling my extras, like no extension on my rental car. That was followed by threats of storage fees applied to my wrecked vehicle if I did not settle by a certain date. After being bullied into accepting their offer, they took two weeks to release my claim amount citing COVID delays. I certainly wasn't allowed the same courtesy.

Worst customer service ever! If you ever have to file a claim, you’d have to quit your job just to make sure anything is done right. It took for almost 3 months for my claim to be resolved. And in the end, I was paid a fraction of my car’s value. I would give them a 0 star if I can.

I've made three claims with this company, once for my home, which was NOT paid, and twice for my vehicle, one of which was an at-fault accident. We paid for accident forgiveness, and then we had an at-fault accident and my insurance spiked by about $450 per year. Why am I paying for something and not receiving it? I am sure if I followed up with them, I would get a bunch of excuses about industry standards, blah, blah... but considering for that first claim, I had to shell out an extra $1200 for OM parts when my vehicle was brand new, that blather isn't going to be well-received. The insurance adjuster for that at-fault claim was an absolute incompetent on a power trip. I would be changing insurance companies if I could. But of course, without already having accident forgiveness with another company, we're pretty much screwed for a couple of years.

I’ve dealt with multiple insurance companies, Belairdirect is by far the worst. They will happily take your money but will do everything possible to get out of paying money or simply doing their job. I had an accident in November, got injured and my car was totalled. It’s now March, haven’t gotten a penny. And now they are trying to push off the injury payment to the insurance company I signed up for a month after the accident occurred. The whole time, I am still being told to pay insurance (for a car that isn’t on the road anymore) so that my account stays open in hopes of eventually getting coverage for the damage done to my car. If looking for insurance, Belairdirect is cheap, but don’t follow through with anything committed.
