Terrible, I drove with the Automerit app for nine months and earned a 9% discount, only to have the rate increased 15% without any accident or tickets. The Automerit program is a complete lie. I'm totally disappointed with Belairdirect, you're better off with any other company.
I have been with Canadian Direct/ Belair Direct for at least 10 yrs. Recently I added my husband to my policy with a vehicle. The cost of that was insane given the circumstances he has only been licensed for 2 yrs. I went insurance shopping and found a place that charged me half for the same coverage (Millennium insurance). Belair offered no rewards or discounts, but they had applied all discounts. Found a cheaper place and then proceeded to take my husband off my policy along with the second vehicle; after doing that my following payment went up over 120dollars. They said that what I am being charged for is having my husband on my policy for less than 30 days. Are you kidding me? Do Not Go Here.
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.
Belairdirect lied to me about what is going on with my claim so the team member didn't have to deal with their customer. Belair made me feel suicidal due to their treatment of me. Made me wait to release the funds to fix my car while my adjuster had a nice vacation. The rental car didn't have snow tires like my car has. So I was trapped in my house for almost 4 months while they mishandled my claim. During my 2 years with them, they made me prove my address twice or they would cancel my policy. Then they claim they never received my info even when I paid to fax the documents. If you get Mike, Kajal or Marilyn, ask for someone else to handle your case. Calling the manager is a waste of time because they and the adjusters don't return phone calls. Also, managers switched halfway through my case because it dragged on so long. Try emailing!!!!
Please, be advised that the first accident-at-fault forgiveness is a lie. It has a condition but when u get a quote or insurance, they won't tell u these conditions but when u need them, they take them out of their pockets and through at u all these nonsensical conditions. In order to get qualified for that, u need to have seven years of clean driving record which they should and they have to tell u when you're signing up with these guys.
Bel air increased my insurance $360 a year because of the location I live in, I have a perfect driving record no accidents, no claims and no tickets shouldn't my insurance go down not up. I've lived in the same place for 3 years why would my insurance go up now. It's the scam insurance companies have on the go
They don’t have any customer service at all. The worst ever you can get insurance from
They advertise first at-fault forgiveness; however, when I had my first at-fault, which was minor, they are getting rid of me claiming my address is not correct. Despite 6 different proofs of address, including CRA documents. Please don't waste your time with this joke for a company.
I bought travel insurance which include facility to get replacement transportation for damaged car. That was as told to me is valid for any car. I did not buy insurance from my rental car assuming I am protected. When my car was robbed in San Jose and window was broken they simply refused to provide any service to me and I also have home isurance that protects me from damage to property they didn’t advice me to claim for my stolen items. Their agents are trained to avoid any liability for companies even if customer deserves it and paid for it. They are threatening me to report to credit bureau since I stoped their payment upon dissatisfactiry customer service no one called or followed up except for payments. Please avoid this company.
They tell you they can save you money. Well, that is a joke after the first year they never asked if I wanted to renew just sent me my insurance slips. Phone them and to my surprise, they increased my premium a year by 500.00 dollars more a year. No accidents no claims am over 50. This company is a complete joke and I never would tell anyone to get insurance with them.
Had 2 at-fault collisions, one as minor as you can get but still didn't qualify as a non-event, and one I accepted as a collision. Belair then sent me an invoice for my next term, something like $2,500 per year from $1,000ish. So I called about the invoice, and then I'm told that I'm "high-risk" essentially because of a fender-bender that should have been a non-event, and I easily could have paid off the damage ( turned out the guy made a claim )... Then they said to disregard the invoice because they can't insure me at all... Really? How did they end up sending it? So 2 accidents total, one was untrue but fine I can deal with it. What really ticked me off is a few months after my term ended Belair started going after my family at the same address saying I, a "high-risk" driver due to a 10km/h fender-bender, have "access" to their vehicles ( oh no! ) even though I have my own new insurance company that doesn't consider me a high-risk driver, that none of the details matter, and that they can't even insure my family at all either! 2 at-fault collisions in 6 years is their limit, doesn't matter how minor or severe, no exceptions or explanations. Oh, and your family has to pay for it too. Now I'm with Sonnet, about $1,400 per year with 2 accidents, that's over $1,000 less than Belair accidentally quoted. Robotic and impersonal at best.
