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.

Accident Forgiveness is a SCAM

by Pippicorn on Apr 13, 2020
2.5 out of 5 stars

I joined Belair during 2016 when they had their big “Accident Forgiveness” campaign. Now, four years later, after my first collision, I find out that accident forgiveness was not added to my policy and no one at any point told me it needed to be added. Then the person on the phone said I could add it with my next car, forgetting that I JUST HAD A COLLISION and am no longer eligible. She made sure to highlight they’re the only Canadian Company offering accident forgiveness, but that doesn’t matter if it can’t actually get it. Once they pay me out for my car I am likely never dealing with them again.

Helpful and Easy

I called to cancel insurance on two cars during these times of not working during the virus. It was not a problem and they further reduced the other vehicle because it now is only used for store runs. (Low mileage) Very helpful and easy. Saved me money which is what I need in these times of not working.

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.

Coronavirus

1 out of 5 stars

They can't even help me during the coronavirus. I asked to get my monthly payment delayed (example: I had 3 payments left on my policy and I wanted to add another month in the end) because I'm not sure of what money I will get obviously. They are useless and careless! I will definitely go to some other company when my insurance is done, useless people. Not happy at all!

Positive Recommendation

A good job was done with respect to my claim. I hope Belairdirect will keep it up and treat other customers similarly well.

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.

Quick Quote = Waste of time

by Danny of Alberta on Mar 17, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

I went through the online process to get a quote, no issues found (no accidents, no changes for years etc) even got to the "get your quote" button. However, as soon as you hit that button you are told you have to contact a representative for a quote. Hit the chat option and was told by the person chatting that I have to call the 800 number for a quote but not to worry because "you will still get the online discount by calling" So typical... just another waste of time trying to get an estimated quote... don't bother trying online for a "quick quote". Also, since giving them my email address they contact me all the time for garbage.... still have not been able to get off the mailing list!

Avoid Belairdirect

by Customer review belairdirect on Mar 10, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

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.

scammers

by 5 hour customer. on Mar 7, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

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!

Way overpriced

by TT from Ottawa on Mar 5, 2020
2.5 out of 5 stars

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.
