Belairdirect Auto Insurance Reviews

The rates they advertise through Google Ads are misleading. Many hidden fees and they've applied discounts that don't exist.

I went online to get a quote, the price seemed good, so I called the next evening to finalize, was shocked to find my quote had changed by over 800.00 dollars! Asked representative why the difference in 24 hours, he replied that the price that I had from their web site included a discount if I bundled my house insurance with them. I explained to the representative that I did not ask for home insurance as I already have a good rate, and they should honour their quote, I asked the representative that I want to talk to his supervisor, he replied that there is no supervisor, but they have a customer experience team. I said: let me talk to them. You can't they will call you! Well, a week has gone by and no call or email. Very unprofessional and disappointed in the way this matter was handled.

Had a tough experience in getting automerit to work. Was told that it'll reduce the premium down the line, but since I couldn't get it to work, they increased previously agreed premium from $375 to $407 without any notification and when contacting customer care, I was told that some discount was taken off since I didn't use the app. Feeling cheated and helpless. Waiting to change the provider once this expires. - Poor customer service experience - Email never gets responded - Took weeks of calling customer care to get the automerit section to appear on the app. - Once it did, the app doesn't record trips properly even after turning off battery optimization (Android) and drains battery drastically. - Overall, disappointing experience to me.

Unhappy with the news today. Got an email this morning about an "updated policy". Because my app on the phone to monitor my driving habits was not used in over 30 days, my account was cancelled, and all the discount associated with it. 6 months of good driving data, disappeared.
Had a discount of $~45 per month after I've been using this Automerit App, and now the monthly has increased by $90.

Talking to them over the phone, they say that the premium is something about making up the difference since I have pre-payments going on for the term. I thought this discount would be permanent, but no luck. Now I have to be monitored for another 6 months.

It's been almost 6 months now no discount on insurance has been given according to deals was a discount of 15$ after 3 months.lier lier

I was involved in an accident where I was evidently not at fault. Sent them photos to prove it as well. Not only they condemned me to being partially at fault and destroyed my clean driving records, but after 10 years of being their royal costumer, they totally disregarded their "no premium change after first at fault accident" and increased my premium by 2.5 times.

I generated one quote online for my auto insurance and I got 188 monthly after that I spoke to one of the agent and I asked him I don't need the full insurance third party will be fine . then he send me a revised quote of 179 monthly , today when I call their office to confirm the quote they said that the quote was a mistake and your price will be 208$ per month .

I spoke with the Supervisor Bruno he said that the agent made a mistake at the time of quote he applied the home and auto discount in the quote . but it was wrong I checked the email quote which I received was clearly written that the home and auto discount is not included .

I am completely disappointed with the company.

The company will take away discounts from existing clients and then offer to return them back but only if they agree to give up their privacy. They want access to your credit score plus they want to have your driving monitored via your cellphone. All of this is for their benefit but even after you're lulled into consenting they will bump your premiums back up under a myriad of excuses. Firstly, if they discover you operate your vehicle late at night it will increase your rate then suddenly your discounts again begin to disappear - round and round we go. Even your good credit score won't help. Their staff can't even tell you what score you'll need to qualify for a discount....because management won't tell them. So, when they ask you for consent they'll make it appear as though there's definitely a discount pending. You need to challenge them before consenting to anything - you'll then begin to realize that every sentence ought to come with a disclaimer. The company makes changes constantly and the service and products are constantly changing. I returned to my previous insurer because they are predictable. Products are always consistent. I don't want to deal with insurance more than once per year but with Belairdirect it's nonstop talking and having to read up on never-ending changes.

I paid a sum of $3000 for my annual insurance which included the auto merit discounts. After 6 months my automerit insurance was withdrawn which meant I was owing an extra 160$. I feel stupid because, in the beginning, it seemed like a good deal but isn’t because you get roped into an app they control and they end up switching the app to withdraw your discount and then you pay the full price.

When it was Canadian Direct, you received fair discounts for safe driving, no accidents, loyalty, etc. The cost of insurance was much cheaper and better coverage. Since it has changed to Belair, the rates have gone up and the discounts are much less. Even with the "discounts", it is $300 more than the same coverage as another company. The agent told me that I could get up to a 25% discount if I agreed to use their app that monitors my driving. I have to get their app and keep my cell phone on while driving. There is enough intrusion in modern-day life without my activity being monitored through my phone. That was the final straw for me. I have over 40 years of safe driving, if that doesn't qualify for a discount I don't know what would. Ending my contract with Belair.
