Belair is the worst insurance company we’ve ever had. According to them, we are not allowed to switch or have too many vehicles in our possession. They wanted us to send copies of our ownerships as we did and apparently they didn’t get them the first few times, then they did. Now they're saying because we have had too many vehicles and whatnot, now they cancelled us without sending out a letter within the 30 days and now they don’t know if they will reinstate us even with sending in the letter. They want us to fill out and sign when they had a copy down there, so, all in all, they don’t know what they are doing down there. My advice is to shop around for a different insurance company
The worst company, after they bought it from CDI nothing but increase. According to the employee I was lucky most of the people insurance went up 60 percent. My was only 50 percent. Why do that spend the money on advertising? Just to mention no claims for I think 30 years.
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.
In the beginning, they seemed nice. Then, I had a non-responsible accident about 4 months ago and it took about 2 months for them to figure it out. I had to call about 20 times at least, they did not do what they were telling me... And then, they increased the price of insurance for my new car at about twice the price that I would get with other insurances. I told them I wouldn't continue the contract (ending a Month later) and they renewed it at an even higher price anyways. I called 3 Days later and they say they will charge me 240 $ do resign my Contract. I'm furious!
Fraudulent Insurance Company, avoid at any cost. After buying Canadian Direct Insurance, Beladirect has increased the premium from 1,275 Cad to 1,800 without any reasons... I've changed my MDX 2016 to the same MDX 2019, and they increased the premium from 1,800 Cad to 2,775 Cad (I had no accidents, new car with no rating yet :). Avoid, avoid, avoid
If you deal with Belairdirect for insurance then I would look for another insurance company. I contacted them the week following the death of my mother-in-law to notify them of her passing. They said they could only do something if they were speaking to the executor of her will. I told them she didn't have a will. I also sent them a copy of her death certificate showing she died on Nov 24th. They proceeded to take out 2 payments (car and apartment contents) for insurance from her account on Dec 10th - even though at that point they had proof that she died. They still are saying they can't cancel her insurance without a will and my only other option is to put a stop payment on the 2 automatic withdrawals for the insurance to show as unpaid and therefore cancelled. This will cost money to stop each of these Jan payments so now it could cost well over $100 to get Belair to stop 2 insurance policies on someone who died over a month ago. I think this is horrific for a company to do something like this. It's hard enough what the family is going through never mind these money hungry companies taking advantage of the situation. She was the only name on the policy so even if anything had happened we couldn't make a claim because she is no longer with us. I don't understand how a death certificate is not enough to cancel insurance - EVERYTHING else we had to cancel or stop was done either with or without the death certificate and yet and the insurance company won't do it. I will NEVER use Belairdirect and I'm hoping this will make a lot of people stop and think about switching to another insurance company if they unfortunately have insurance with them now.
By far the worst insurance ever! They just ignore my calls and emails and my adjuster is just hiding not sure how lazy she is! I’ll expose more information if this company will make me more bad with their bad customer service.
My rate has gone up by $800, or 30%. But I have no clams, no tickets, no decrease in credit score, no change in address. Think twice before dealing with this company. FYI according to FSCO average rate increase in Ontario was around 5%. It means based on my perfect record I should get something between a decrease or a minuscule increase.
This was the worst experience I’ve ever had with a company. They do not value customer at all and their customer satisfaction guarantee is just for show. My adjuster never returned any of my calls. The customer service representatives were rude and condescending. They give you the run around about everything. I paid out of pocket for the car rental even though it was covered under my policy and they are refusing to refund me back! I wish I never switched insurance companies!
For the second year running they auto renew my policy at an unfavourable rate without informing me except by a single email received three months beforehand. I never asked to be contacted by email. This leaves you with two choices: pay up or pay a huge cancellation fee. They should not be operating. The insurance itself is OK just the way they operate is ...as everyone else points out...sleazy. Just quit them.
I got my policy done with these guys on December 24, 2018. They did almost everything wrong on my policy such as my bank account etc. Plus they quoted me more than $6k for my 2019 Toyota Corolla (the car itself is $20500). I wanted to cancel my policy and they charged me just to cancel my policy $650!!!
