Horrible customer service with ridiculous red tape

by Diversions on Sep 29, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

I would never recommend belairdirect to anyone looking for insurance. I wanted to cancel my auto renewal which went from $1400 to $2400 a year. But 12:01 on the renewal date was early this morning so they want to charge me $256.00 to cancel a policy I did not renew. Hard to believe that an insurance company we have had for years, no moving violations and no accidents could actually almost double our insurance renewal and then without our consent [or payment] renew it and then have the audacity to change us for a cancellation roughly 12 hours after the effective date. We will be changing our home insurance a week before our due date to ensure we have nothing more to do with them.

NEVER GO WITH BELAIRDIRECT

by Dynofun on Jul 15, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

YOU WILL BE INFLUENCED BY THEIR SALES REPRESENTATIVES TO REGISTER WITH THEIR SERVICES as they might be a little bit more competitive prices than other auto insurances. This is what has happened to me. I regret it big times for not viewing the reviews here. I offer pre-authorized payments 6 weeks prior to the end of my auto insurance. I contact the customer representatives 3 times and I declared to them that I do not wish to renew my auto insurance. They ignored me and they kept withdrawing their monthly payment from my bank account. So the last month, I contact my bank and put a STOP payment. Belairdirect has charged me $40 banking fees plus taxes. Now I am escalating this issue to the consumer alert at CTV NEWS. It is probably the worst auto insurance in the country! All they care about is obtaining your money.

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.

2 months for a small dent in the door.

No communication with the client and liars about when it will be finished. Won't even tell me where the car is. I am so discouraged about the whole process.

Poor Service

by Lynchen Nepomuceno on May 15, 2023

I tried to follow up on my application or the policy but it took me how many weeks to get an update. They don’t care about the application and they let their customer hang. Very poor service and communication

Bad driving record? Your insurance rates can be double the standard insurance rate. Let us help you get the better auto insurance rate without breaking the bank.

Terrible Customer service experience.

I was talking to an agent named Chander and was treated poorly by him. I was inquiring about my insurance renewal and he told me that inflation affects rates but I said, we the customers are also affected by inflation but how can you, Belair, help us with it? He said he didn’t appreciate talking to me. I think that it is valid for customers to ask questions out of curiosity but maybe due to the lack of his knowledge or training, he could not provide me with a sufficient answer. I was very disappointed and hung up immediately. This isn’t the first time this is happening. I’ve dealt with this many times and it surprises me because I have multi-car and home insurance and have been with Belair for 4-5 years. There are so many gaps in the service they provide to customers, sometimes that the calls last for about 2 hours because they don’t know what to do.

Roadside assistance seems affordable but is a lie.

by Painfully left aside on Feb 6, 2023
3 out of 5 stars

THIS IS FALSE ADVERTISING!
THEIR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ADVERTISING IS UNTRUE.
It took from Noon until 9:51 p.m. for them to even acknowledge and accept the request for roadside assistance. In that time another company showed up within ten minutes and towed the vehicle within another eleven minutes. In this weather, leaving someone stranded in a precarious situation is not an acceptable practice. Belair Direct is an insurance company that could have easily dipped into a larger pool of accepted roadside care trucks for just a small increase in outlay $$. They chose not to. Unacceptable.

Worst insurance company ever

by Ernest Gearing on Dec 15, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

Belair insurance is terrible. I have been a loyal customer for 10+ years. My vehicle just got wrecked three and a half weeks ago by someone blowing a stop sign. They have been rude, uncaring, and unhelpful throughout this whole process. My adjuster did not even call me after the accident, they did not want to give me a rental and left me stranded for a ride a week and a half before I had to call them and fight to get one. They then sent me a lowball offer on my vehicle and tried to get me out of that rental within two days. My adjuster then did not tell me there was a delay in my settlement dispute for a week which led to me having to call them and demand to speak to my adjuster and a manager. I had previously sent all the receipts of the work done to the vehicle to them like they asked which equaled out to four thousand dollars. The adjuster called me and was super unhelpful as they have been unprofessional and unresponsive the whole time. The manager was great and really seemed eager to help get the claim moving to offer fair solutions like giving me back the rental they demanded back after offering me the settlement offer. They then sent me another lowball offer trying to shortchange me three thousand dollars only offering a thousand more for the four thousand dollars worth of work I had just put into the vehicle. The manager tried to call me during the day but I missed the call because I was in a dead zone and they expect you to just be okay with spending hours on the phone at work while your boss is wondering what you are doing. I called later that day asking to speak to the manager again and got told they would call me again in twenty-four hours further disrupting my work because they clearly do not care. I am supposed to get a call from the manager tomorrow and hope to get a fair resolution but I am not banking on it with how I have been treated this whole time. Definitely will be switching insurance companies as they have made me feel like a criminal.

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.

Terrible CSR experience

by Mirmidona Achillis on Dec 13, 2022

Called this insurance company to have another family member added to the original insurance.

Asked for a quote, and after being put on hold several times and the call moving from a quote to an escalation call, that lasted over 45 minutes of my time, I was told, that a manager will call or email me back at a later time.

More time is taken from my normal day with no satisfactory results to show, just more aggravation to be continued for me.
