Belairdirect Auto Insurance Reviews

I have an existing not-at-fault claim and the damage is very minor but several months after the accident, the estimate is still being processed. When they withdraw money from your account, they are either on time or a few days early. Stay away from this insurance company.

I never have a single call with Belair Direct that ends with me being happy.

They increased my insurance this year by 40$ a month. With no accidents, no claims, no tickets on my record in the past 6 years and no incidents on my wife's as a secondary driver in the past 3 years. Their excuse is "rates go up." Rates aren't supposed to increase 40% with good history. They are supposed to decline with good history.

When we had a claim 3 years ago where my wife was involved in an accident where she rear-ended another driver who cut her off then fled the scene, she was deemed at fault and our vehicle, that we spent $8,000 on 3 months prior, had a $3000 repair bill, they wrote it off and gave us $4500. Deeming the vehicle that still had a black book value of 7k, only worth, 4500. Con artists.

Their app to track your driving is awful. You as a passenger sometimes get the choice to say you were a passenger, but it would often track driving I didn't do, and not even let me report passenger. And as a driver, your phone falling off the mount, or being used by the passenger, would screw up your tracking too.

If your automatic payment bounces because you don't have the money at that exact moment. The bank charged you a 30$ NSF fee, and Belair Charges you a 45$ NSF fee for no reason whatsoever. They admit the charges are automatic, so there is literally 0 time and effort they put into charging you, so their argument of having to pay for people's time to charge it again is redundant. It's just a scam charge. I knew I wasn't going to have enough money for this month's payment. My payment date is the 14th of every month. So I called today so I could pay with credit card. They said they already sent the payment to the bank, even though I am not supposed to pay until the 14th, and they can't do anything about it. But since I knew it was going to bounce, I could pay it now, and pay the 45$ fee on top of it. Even though I am offering to pay early. Biggest scam artists out there.

I have been trying to switch insurance companies for years but ever since my wife's accident, that wasn't her fault, but legally deemed as her fault. Every insurance company comes in 200% higher than Belair because we had first claim forgiveness on our account. So I can't justify switching companies, since all insurance companies in Ontario are a scam.

I was with Belair for almost 3 years and I never had an accident and I never made a claim and they raised my premium based on cars being stolen in the GTA.

I got rear ended and they sent me to their auto repair shop and told me my deductible was $0 when it was time for me to pickup my car the auto shop is saying I have to pay $1000 to get the car and they cannot release the car until BelairDirect send them an email saying my deductible is $0.

For Injury claim was the same issue they gave me hell and the process was long and repetitive. And i was using my personal health insurance. Belair is not a good company and they are disloyal to their customers they only want your money. When it’s time for them to do the job you’ve been paying them for it’s a big issue.

Faire face à l’apathie omniprésente et au service médiocre de l’assurance Belair
s'est avéré être la pire erreur de ma vie.

Lorsque j'ai acheté la police, le personnel occasionnel à temps partiel n'a pas réussi à transcrire le numéro VIN avec précision lorsqu'ils m'ont vendu l'assurance.
Après un délit de fuite, le véhicule a été remorqué vers un atelier de réparation.

Parce que les numéros VIN ne correspondent pas à ceux du propriétaire, la réparation a maintenant été retardée d'une semaine complète.

Le mauvais service client ne s'est pas donné la peine de retourner un appel ou un e-mail en trois jours.

Avec mon ancien assureur, je n’ai jamais eu besoin de souscrire l'assurance complémentaire pour un véhicule de prêt. Le véhicule serait réparé en moins de temps qu’il n’en faut à Belair pour corriger un NIV. Je comprends maintenant pourquoi Belair vend l'assurance pour better raison.
L'entreprise devrait vendre une assurance contre l'incompétence de son propre personnel.

Évitez à tout prix cet assureur incompétent et corrompu

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 !

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!
