Belairdirect Auto Insurance Reviews

Worst customer service ever! If you ever have to file a claim, you’d have to quit your job just to make sure anything is done right. It took for almost 3 months for my claim to be resolved. And in the end, I was paid a fraction of my car’s value. I would give them a 0 star if I can.

I was involved in an accident in the left rear corner of my vehicle while stopped. Belairdirect accused me of re-entering the main road and set the decision at 50/50 fault until I provided pictures and spent hours on the phone and threatened legal action. After it was determined I was not at fault at all, they completely undervalued my vehicle and the extra add ons. They offered me a bit over $100 for trailer hitch, braking control systems, and the remote start which cost me over $1500 alone for purchase and installation. Going back and forth for a while and they would not even use my own appraisal for my vehicle. Been a driver with a clean record for over 10 years with them and was treated like this. Save your money and go elsewhere, the reviews speak for themselves

Rates were pretty competitive and customer service was good on the sales side but found very different treatment when I had to make a claim. Zero fault auto claim started with high pressure, low ball offer when they wrote off my truck. When I asked questions about the settlement amount, the adjuster started cancelling my extras, like no extension on my rental car. That was followed by threats of storage fees applied to my wrecked vehicle if I did not settle by a certain date. After being bullied into accepting their offer, they took two weeks to release my claim amount citing COVID delays. I certainly wasn't allowed the same courtesy.

I've made three claims with this company, once for my home, which was NOT paid, and twice for my vehicle, one of which was an at-fault accident. We paid for accident forgiveness, and then we had an at-fault accident and my insurance spiked by about $450 per year. Why am I paying for something and not receiving it? I am sure if I followed up with them, I would get a bunch of excuses about industry standards, blah, blah... but considering for that first claim, I had to shell out an extra $1200 for OM parts when my vehicle was brand new, that blather isn't going to be well-received. The insurance adjuster for that at-fault claim was an absolute incompetent on a power trip. I would be changing insurance companies if I could. But of course, without already having accident forgiveness with another company, we're pretty much screwed for a couple of years.

I’ve dealt with multiple insurance companies, Belairdirect is by far the worst. They will happily take your money but will do everything possible to get out of paying money or simply doing their job. I had an accident in November, got injured and my car was totalled. It’s now March, haven’t gotten a penny. And now they are trying to push off the injury payment to the insurance company I signed up for a month after the accident occurred. The whole time, I am still being told to pay insurance (for a car that isn’t on the road anymore) so that my account stays open in hopes of eventually getting coverage for the damage done to my car. If looking for insurance, Belairdirect is cheap, but don’t follow through with anything committed.

My vehicle was vandalized, reported and claim initiated. The adjuster took one month to make fraudulent links to assess my claim. I could not verify where she got prices so low that did not exist anywhere. Her Unit manager took over, after I complained included 2 legitimate links and kept 4 previous bogus links and evaluated my claim. When I requested reference to 4 (bogus) links could not justify. Stopped calls and answering to my quires. Claim transferred to another adjuster who is sitting on my file from the last 13 days. Not responding to my calls or emails. Extremely bad service, no regard for customers, Belairdirect is the worst company when you need help.

I never have a single call with Belair Direct that ends with me being happy.

They increased my insurance this year by 40$ a month. With no accidents, no claims, no tickets on my record in the past 6 years and no incidents on my wife's as a secondary driver in the past 3 years. Their excuse is "rates go up." Rates aren't supposed to increase 40% with good history. They are supposed to decline with good history.

When we had a claim 3 years ago where my wife was involved in an accident where she rear-ended another driver who cut her off then fled the scene, she was deemed at fault and our vehicle, that we spent $8,000 on 3 months prior, had a $3000 repair bill, they wrote it off and gave us $4500. Deeming the vehicle that still had a black book value of 7k, only worth, 4500. Con artists.

Their app to track your driving is awful. You as a passenger sometimes get the choice to say you were a passenger, but it would often track driving I didn't do, and not even let me report passenger. And as a driver, your phone falling off the mount, or being used by the passenger, would screw up your tracking too.

If your automatic payment bounces because you don't have the money at that exact moment. The bank charged you a 30$ NSF fee, and Belair Charges you a 45$ NSF fee for no reason whatsoever. They admit the charges are automatic, so there is literally 0 time and effort they put into charging you, so their argument of having to pay for people's time to charge it again is redundant. It's just a scam charge. I knew I wasn't going to have enough money for this month's payment. My payment date is the 14th of every month. So I called today so I could pay with credit card. They said they already sent the payment to the bank, even though I am not supposed to pay until the 14th, and they can't do anything about it. But since I knew it was going to bounce, I could pay it now, and pay the 45$ fee on top of it. Even though I am offering to pay early. Biggest scam artists out there.

I have been trying to switch insurance companies for years but ever since my wife's accident, that wasn't her fault, but legally deemed as her fault. Every insurance company comes in 200% higher than Belair because we had first claim forgiveness on our account. So I can't justify switching companies, since all insurance companies in Ontario are a scam.

If we could give them a zero-star review, we would. This is the worst insurance company we've ever dealt with, and frankly one of the MOST unprofessional companies we've ever dealt with as well. Our 2022 vehicle burned to the ground over a month ago, and since then we have had to follow up every week (sometimes more than once) and the adjuster has called us ONCE. We have been assured she will call, and she never does, or she claims she did, but there are no voicemails and no record of the call. We have always been timely in our premium payments, we have never made a claim on ANY of the 5 vehicles insured with them (which will be cancelled as soon as the current claim is resolved), and the level of service we have received has been abysmal. Every time we call to check the status of the claim, since our adjuster never calls or returns calls, we get a different story about what the status is, we get told that the adjuster will “call back”, we get told *there is no customer service department or supervisor we can speak with* unless we wait 24–48 hours for another callback (which shockingly haven't come yet). This company appears to promote thievery as well, given that they have refused to consider the FACTS when replacement value came in $13,000+ lower than it should have, and we had many compatibles that showed the delta to be even higher. The adjuster and supervisor at that time stated that they would not consider the compatibles, and that the payout was the payout. This was one week ago today, and when we called for an update today (since the check has not yet arrived), we were told there was no check and that they were still reviewing. What an unprofessional, frustrating, INCOMPETENT company to deal with.

Belairdirect insurance.
Worst insurance company ever.
Poor customer service. They offered me 25% of what my vehicle was worth. Then left the driver who was injured in the accident without a vehicle or way to get to physical therapy.
Still waiting almost a week now for supervisor to contact us.
CHEAP RATES MEANS CHEAP SERVICE
