Pathetic, waste of time. Was on the phone for an hour with them to discriminate the breed of dog I own and not allow me to continue my claim for my house insurance. Awful customer service and management. When asked what was wrong with my dog breed I was told “we don’t insure a lot of people that have certain animals; monkeys and reptiles fall into that category”.... what? Makes no sense... Would never recommend
Employee driving Bobcat to remove snow from city sidewalk hit and broke off hydrant in front of the property. We have a driveway that has a downward slope an ended up with almost 3 feet of water in garage and basement. It took a year but Belair got a refund from the city for our deductible. Thanks for the great service
My first year of home insurance with Belair was around $1400, then it went to $1500, and this year I was told it would cost me $1975!!! I was shocked that they would raise rates 30% in one year, I have had no claims and also insured both my vehicles with them. I called to find out why the huge increase and I was told it was a general increase, no real reason or explanation given to me. I have received two other quotes with the same coverage for $1000 and $880. Once my auto insurance is due, I will be cancelling that as well. Goodbye and Good Riddance Belair, you have zero customer appreciation and horrible insurance rates.
I’ve been phoning Belair for a month now trying to get my property claim resolved - wind damage. They offloaded me to a company out of Saskatchewan called ClaimsPro. Their rep will not return phone calls or answer emails and always seems to ‘be out of the office’. I’m done with Belair. Renewal is coming soon and I’ll be taking my business elsewhere. Worst service I’ve received from any company I’ve done business with. Absolutely dismal.
Belair Direct were very professional, helpful and have excellent contractors doing the work. They took a lot of the stress out of the process by keeping us up to date on when each contractor would arrive to do their specific job. All contractors were highly skilled and did an excellent job you would never know there was any damage to the room.
Canadians pay, on average, approximately $20 per month in tenants insurance. Do you rent or plan to rent a property and want to reduce insurance costs? We will help you get a cheap tenant insurance quote today.
Just got my home insurance renewal...for no reason a 100% INCREASE monthly. That's right. My home insurance premiums are DOUBLING. Despite the lowest crime rate of any neighbourhood in the city, my premium has gone up. Best part? They refuse to talk to me about it.
Now lets move on to my auto insurance. NEVER had an at fault accident, one that ended up being 50/50 for some reason, despite the fact I was stopped and stationary while someone ran smack into my car...those rates increased 50$ per month!!!!!!
Government needs to begin regulating this garbage. Insurance companies are NOTHING but legal rackets.
I was able to connect with Belairdirect easily.
But when I asked them to cancel my home insurance, they renewed it and charged $17 after that to cancel the policy.
Very bad service and they are saying they don't find any notes that I requested to cancel my home insurance.
This company, Belair Direct, is a huge rip-off. Their rates are about 25% higher than other companies even with their so-called discount for home and auto insurance bundled together!
Worse, when I told them I didn't want to renew my residential policy after it elapsed they charged me more than $50.00 for an administrative fee to "cancel" a policy that had already run out.That was more than 10% of the cost of the policy. Now you'd think, well why bother cancelling it. Because if I didn't and they cancelled it from their side I would never be able to purchase home insurance from anyone else because other companies can't sell it to you if any other company has canceled your policy previously!!
And then I had to wait for almost an hour while the agent processed my non renewal on her computer that kept freezing! So add in an hour of my time and what I might have earned or done with it.
Don't be fooled by the people you talk to in customer service; they are actually pretty helpful and diligent, but the fees and policies of this corporate thief will fleece you.
I doubt you could find a worse experience with any other insurance agency.
And that's just trying to cancel a policy that had already expired a week earlier. I can't imagine how these weasels would behave if I'd actually had a claim!!!
I called for a claim in Feb 2016 because I had a few spots in the ceiling of my basement and an adjuster came to see in early March 2016. She told me that it was hard to see where the water was coming from and that there was no damage to my house. She did say that the water was probably due to the ice on the roof and that she was going to send a contractor to verify this. I received a call from a contractor in the end of August 2017 to verify the damages so I refused because it was tool late and I never put in a claim.
Now I get my insurance renewal and am hit with a $5000 deduction because it says in my file that I refused to repair a leaky roof.
I am presently shopping around for a new insurance company.
Fell victim to their false advertising, resulting in wasting over an hour and a half of my time filling their online quote form and talking on the phone, for nothing at all. Beware of their lies and fake promises!
