FAQ

Do I have to use automerit with Belairdirect?

No — but most new customers do, and the up-to-25% saving is tied to it. A traditional quote is still available.

Why is Belairdirect not in your home insurance list?

Its telematics edge is auto-specific. For home, broker-channel carriers like Economical or Co-operators are stronger picks in Ontario.
