Amazing with Claims, terrible afterwards

Got rear ended, accident not at fault!
Miscommunication between adjuster and insurance! Insurance “belairditect” then threatening me that I will pay for the rental fee if I can’t provide proof with invoice date!
The adjuster ordered the wrong parts, the adjuster did not communicate with the insurance rep. My bumper was not even on the car yet and they wanted me to return the loaner! Talk about customer service !!!
2 small claim in 2023 0% responsible accident, insurance went up 50%. Employees are rude and not fully trained. Their auto repair center will jack up the cost of repair, they will charge you a lot for a small repair, and the car rental was in the invoice too. Stay away !
I had slid off the highway due to bad weather and they wouldn’t approve the amount needed to fix my car for an out of province inspection to be completed. I had paid $1000 deposit at the garage already and the insurance advisor tried to cancel my appointment with them and book with one of their approved shops without notifying me. They also refused to accept that I needed all the work done to pass an inspection, but I know from taking to the garage that it wouldn’t have made it through the inspection with after market parts/not completing all the work.
The worst car insurance company, the worst adjuster! She never answers emails and calls. Each customer representative gives different information...
One month ago deer damage the car. Belairedirect Canada takes a week to figure out what they were going to do. Another week to get it to the shop for repairs where it sits for nearly two weeks. Why you ask is it sitting? No parts? Too Busy? Buried in the snow? Nope, none of those. The claims adjuster hasn't contacted them to let them know to fix it! THE BALL DROPPED BIG TIME! I only found out when the repair shop called me to ask why the car was at their shop.
Let the fun continue, I call Belairedirect Canada and sit on the line with their claims department not answering the phone "for EVER"! Give up and call the regular folks and get a very nice lady who understood my frustration (there is a really nice place reserved for her in heaven) and helped me get in touch with the less than effective claims adjuster.
Meanwhile, nearly a month has passed since the deer passed and the vehicle is exactly as it was when that happened. Poor Bambi.
Not sure if I can draw any company-wide conclusions, but I can say I hope your experience is better. Good luck
If it were not for the nice lady in the regular customer service I would rate my experience as negative.
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.
I’ve been a customer for over 10 years. Their claims rep was awfully rude when speaking to me. I was not at fault in my claim. The rep ‘Rendl’ is always talking down to me as if he is angry. He is very short when responding and overall incredibly rude. Belairedirect has given me the worst experience I’ve ever had with ANY service I’ve ever paid for.
Was with them for awhile. Got in an accident. My claims person was impossible to get a hold of to begin with. Took weeks to finally learn it was in a shop. Then it was returned with ONLY cosmetic work done. There was damage that was not cosmetic. Still battling with them on it. Never again
I had a claim that was based on a lie, spoken by a third party, who claimed that I hit them with my car... The police were called on the scene, the affected party was examined by EMS on the scene and also were taken to the hospital for a detailed checkup, and found out that none of the persons involved in the incident was injured. But the Belair adjuster who was assigned to the claim kept insisting that they were injured. I wish I had an option to upload the police report with this review. Please, stay away from Belair Insurance.
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.
They are stalling my auto for the past two months when there is none of my fault my car was stolen from the street and all they are doing is nothing! My adjuster is ignoring and blocking my calls. I don’t think anyone keeps a check on the employee's call records. Moreover, the adjuster never called to provide any information. They promise a rental but they don’t provide it and they will stall and stall and cut their monthly payments...

Have both home and auto for two cars. I made two home claims as a result of a Windstorm one year, then a fish tank water damage the next year. The claims process was very good, fast, and handled perfectly. However, afterwards, they would not renew my home insurance because of having two claims, then my vehicle insurance went WAY up. They could not reduce the cost of the auto, so I got car insurance significantly cheaper elsewhere. The problem was, I could not get the auto renewal to not happen because I could not get through to an agent on the phone - been on hold for well over an hour, numerous times, trying and get it cancelled. And you cannot do it online, it tells you to call. I'm still trying to get through on the phone and get it cancelled. Ridiculously long wait times on the phone to speak with anyone, and they have no call back feature set up..
