Cancellation fees

by DecadeLongClient on Aug 2, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

Belair doesn't care about anything. If your mother, father or kids die, they will still charge you their cancellation fees, pathetic. I had a family tragedy and I cancelled my auto insurance less than 1 week late (obviously other more important things on my mind) and they charged me their $400 fee. I have already started lobbying family, friends, neighbors and coworkers of their PROFITS FIRST attitude. Thank You Belair for treating a decade long client like an ATM.

scam artists

so bel air was sending me daily flyers saying theyre so much cheaper. used their online quote and yep,$850 a year! $1000 less than im paying. so I call them up give them my info and the rate goes up to $1400 because I have two tickets. no problem. 3 days go by, I literally have the insurance active for 12 hours and they call me up. I paid for the entire year up front,my mistake! now they want another $600 because "they verified that I received 2 tickets" um yea,the 2 I told you about. at $2000 a year that's more than I was paying!!! told them to cancel it and they reply by saying ok cancellation fee will be this much, you have to pay for the 12 hours etc etc.nope.fighting them now every way I can to get my money back. important to note that at no point have I been given a copy of the policy.

Good price, bad service

by Taylor on Jul 22, 2017
3 out of 5 stars

I have been with belair for 5 years and have called around for cheaper quotes which I didn't find. I had 3 tickets, it was no problem. Every time I call for questions or to add a new vehicle, they are hard to communicate and half the time don't even know what they are talking about. Or you can' t understand them. I've actually had a lady argue with me and start telling me I said something- that I didn't - that was going to cause them to drop me. Absolutely ridiculous service and stupid people. Don't try to call and ask questions here because they take words out of your mouth and mock you.

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.

Treat loyal customers terrible

Got my renewal which went up for no reason over $60 a month... I went online and got a quote from the same company for $40 less a month. When I asked them about it and, of course, wanted the lower rate, I am told that I can't (the new policy has not started yet and they're offering a lower rate but only to new customers?) Absolutely ridiculous... just screw over the people who have been with you the longest - it is their policy...

Drove it There, Towed it Home.

Not Impressed. Belairdirect goes out of their way to market themselves toward students and those who are on tight budgets via promotions like their student discount however their service reflects nothing of the sort. I was in an accident that was not my fault and after being treated like a criminal by the ASSURED Mississauga representative my insurance company sent me to the Belairdirect test and repair centre for a more “polished” experience, they said. It was awesome that when I got to the centre the staff was great at kissing my ass and pretending like they cared about my negative experience. It is unfortunate that none of those niceties could fix my car. Instead, it sat at their office for more than three weeks before they decided to touch it, suddenly; miraculously, the car would not turn on. My trusty insurance company then proceeded to call me to let me know that they were not responsible for my car not starting and wanted to charge me upwards of $1,000 worth of “non-accident related damage.” When I responded with questions – the brain dead staff resembled something of a broken record player repeating, “you are responsible to cover this damage as it is not accident related, your total is…” (pretty cold for a company that markets towards people with low income). When I explained that this was not a possibility for me at that time, they agreed to tow my car home. I find it hilarious that I drove my car there to be fixed and now it is being towed back in WORSE condition than when it started. Cherry on top: They took the rental back and had misplaced my car. I had to walk to work at 5 am for over a week without a vehicle while making car payments for a car I couldn’t even fix or use because the insurance company continued to make broken promises of when they would be contacting me to bring my car home. My car was finally returned to me over a week left with parts they damaged sitting on and staining my passenger side seat. What is the point of paying for insurance if they lose and break the very thing you are trying to insure. biggest scam i have ever been involved in in my entire life. If the goal was for me to walk away without a shred of faith in humanity, the company did their job of not caring! Silver lining: thank you to Belairdirect for making me realize I can make it through life without my car and it is worth every second I save not dealing with their garbage.

Don't even bother calling

First time to get additional coverage.
They ask how many tickets did i get within the last 5 years.
If it is more than 6 points, forget it!
Not 6 points per year, it is 6 points in 5 years!
So yeah, basically they just want a grandpa and grandma driver.
Dont even bother calling them.
Wasting time!

horrible company

by laura m. on Jun 26, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

I recently became insured with belairdirect. This company is an absolute scam. They guaranteed me one price (which was significantly lower than my previous insurance company) so obviously I made the switch. Now in order for me to keep the original price they offered, I had to sign up to an "Automerit" app. However, upon looking into this app, it had horrible reviews and not one person had anything good to say. It was rated with only 1.4 stars out of 5. I decided not to download this app since the reviews and ratings were subpar. This month I received my new payment plan and my insurance is actually going up an extra $15.00 a month. How can a company penalize you because you don't want to download an app that is complete garbage and lacks quality, This is completely unfair and an absolute scam. I suggest belairdirect fixes their app and explains this merit point system a little bit more in detail.

Crappy company now

by insurancereview on Jun 17, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

I've been with them for years and they were great until this recent company owner change. I was going to school away and they told me they would still cover me and it was fine for the past year and now I called to update my VIN number (as it had a mistake) and they just gave me two weeks to find a new company while I'm in the middle of exams. Lousy customer service, shitty new company owners.

Price increase

by Tammy Hannell on Jun 10, 2017
1.5 out of 5 stars

So, to my surprise, for being a good driver, no tickets, no accidents, ZERO CLAIMS, MY insurance jumped from $1427.00 a year to $1800.00 and this is supposedly with my combined savings for also having content ins. And because I pay it all upfront. They proceeded to tell me it's because of my vehicle rating. I'm a single mom on disability. Going through cancer. I was shocked, upset and disappointed. Especially after having 4 of my family members change their Insurance companies to them. After calling around. I found rates at $1369.00 this is without bundled savings. So obviously I wasn't that much of a respected customer! And if it where nothing to do with my vehicle rating how can another company be 400$+ a year. The broker I spoke with said I'm the other client from Belair direct. Making the change
