Do not use this company!!!

The worst company I have ever dealt with. Never get insurance here! They tried taking a double payment, when my policy started on a new billing cycle they still took money from my account for the previous month that I did not have insurance for. Try calling and speaking to an agent to change my payment date, and they advised it would be a double payment as it is a month-to-month contract. Call back to cancel as I found better insurance for over 1200.00 cheaper per year, and now it’s a year's contract, even though I spent over 45 minutes the day before with the agent telling me several times it’s a month by month contract. Was advised that I would have to pay 175.00 to cancel, advised I wouldn’t pay that they put me on hold to speak to their manager who refused to waive the fee when I asked to speak with him about his decision I was told oh he doesn’t talk to the consumer. This company is not worried about the consumer, just about the money. Such a lack in customer service and empathy. Advised them to listen to the taped conversation before he decided not to waive the cancellation fee, and was advised that’s not his job? So now have to wait up to 48 hrs to speak to someone else to get the fee waived, which we know will be denied! Worst company when it comes to service and the consumer, they only care about money!!!!

Horrible customer service with ridiculous red tape

I would never recommend belairdirect to anyone looking for insurance. I wanted to cancel my auto renewal which went from $1400 to $2400 a year. But 12:01 on the renewal date was early this morning so they want to charge me $256.00 to cancel a policy I did not renew. Hard to believe that an insurance company we have had for years, no moving violations and no accidents could actually almost double our insurance renewal and then without our consent [or payment] renew it and then have the audacity to change us for a cancellation roughly 12 hours after the effective date. We will be changing our home insurance a week before our due date to ensure we have nothing more to do with them.

Don't choose Belair

by Adewale on Oct 26, 2021

My vehicle was stolen in Dec 2018 and up until now, Belair has refused to settle my claim. It has been 3 years and I am still making car finance payments for a car that was stolen in 2018. Belairdirect will much rather have their lawyers drag the claim and frustrate you instead of settling your claim, clearly, that's their business model. They use what appears to be a good insurance cost to draw you in when in fact they have no intentions to cover you if something happens, and then they have ridiculous cancellation fees. Stay away

DON'T GET FOOLED BY THEM!

Here is my story: I was planning to move to a NEW place in 15 days after buying a car. Before signing their insurance, the quote they gave me on my NEW address was $230. Whereas another insurer said $250 for my new address - that's why I chose Belair.
But when I signed the contract and after 15 days asked them to change my address to the NEW one - they charged $309 instead. Almost $1000 annual difference. Then I had to pay an almost $300 cancellation fee to transfer to another insurer.
Please don't be fooled by them - they are trash!

Steep premium increases

by Deniz sen on Aug 21, 2020
1.5 out of 5 stars

Stayed 4 years with this insurance provider. I chose it because they gave me the best price but after 4 years without any accident, claim or any ticket it went to a 70% increase and I could not take it anymore and I cancelled even though renewal already in place so I have to pay them 186$ admin fee. But still happy see get out of them. My yearly total cost was 1024 / year (2016,) İncreased 1270 a year later, 1460 another year and now asked 1780! Then it was enough for us and we cancelled.

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.

Covid

I asked them for a COVID discount today (for my mother) and they will only base it on starting moving forward. Nobody knows how long this will last... And who knew from the beginning how long it will last? No one from Belair ever reached out to her. She drives 2,500 km's per year. At the same time, they are trying to upsell her on the very same call: Car Accident Forgiveness, Roadside Assistance, Car Rental if not her fault???? Calling for COVID discount and they are trying to get more money from a senior citizen during this epidemic?!? Really sad and desperate on their part. They are offering an $18 per month discount. My insurance company sent me a cheque for 25% of my monthly policy and not 1 call was made. Just a letter in the mail with a cheque. I hope Belair is one of those companies that will need a trustee due to this pandemic...all to do with greed. Tomorrow we start looking for a new home and car insurance The best part...they keep $300 for a cancellation fee. STAY AWAY from Belair.

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.

Avoid at all costs if at all possible. I have been with them for 5 hours and they've already increased my agreed-upon rate by 1000$! You can cancel if you'd like for a fee of course. SCAM! DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THIS COMPANY!
