AVOID!!

by LAS on Aug 29, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

Terrible experience. We dutifully drove with the automerit device in our car for a year and earned a 12% discount, only to have our rates jacked up 20% (without any accident/incidents) and end up paying more! This automerit program is a scam and we are VERY DISAPPOINTED with belairdirect

Very bad company.

I had a couple of collisions and I take responsibility for that. They then decided that I was a high risk driver and canceled my policy. Up to this moment I was still good with that . But what is terrible about them is the fact that they started contacting everyone living at that same address with me requesting them to sign a form confirming that I do not drive their cars. On those forms my names were clearly printed and they asked me to also sign the form. My question is "if I am not insured with you anymore, why do u keep insisting that I sign some documents "? They threaten those clients of theirs telling them if I do not sign the document, their policy will be canceled . What is wrong with this Belair people? The management sucks and the employees are terribly rude. I am not signing anymore of those stupid forms of yours. In fact, the worst company I have ever dealt with.

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.

Traumatizing experience

by belairdirectclientsurvivor on Aug 12, 2017
2.5 out of 5 stars

I was involved in a collision in which, as it turned out, I was not at fault for the collision in which I was involved. However, the claims department did an extremely poor job at investigating the claim (if that can be called an investigation at all) and they ended up assigning to me the wrong fault determination rule, making me 100%. I spoke with my adjuster, other frontline agents and even supervisors and all seem to be one worst than the other, one more contemptuous than the other. In the end, I had to take the court route to get some justice and that yielded the expected results. The company seems to be dysfunctional from the beginning to the end, it's not just an issue of one rogue employee; it's systemic.

Harrassing Telephone Calls

by Harrassed on Aug 10, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

This company has, what I consider, a policy of harassment.

The first call received was at 2:40 pm and then the next call was at 1:08 am!
When contacted I was told I would be removed from their call list.

Didn't happen! I received another call today so it appears their word is as good as the air into which it is spoken!

Unethical (My opinion)

by Fooled Me Once, Never Again on Aug 8, 2017
1.5 out of 5 stars

All computer driven, cold, impersonal and just another money grubbing large corporation. The different depts seem oblivious of the goings on of the other. The auto claims adjuster tried to low ball their claim payment by at least 50% however I was ready. That's not acting in the customer's interest, but the interests of BelAir. Sorry, but I have nothing good to say about BelAirDirect nor can I recommend them. Their premiums are nothing special either.

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

by AngryCustomer on Jul 28, 2017

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.

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.

Treat loyal customers terrible

by Wajuba on Jul 17, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

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...
