Learn more about belairdirect insurance.

You might have first heard of Bel Air Insurance if you drove a cab in 1955 in Montreal. In fact, the name is derived from the popular car at the time – the Chevrolet Bel Air. The company got its start when it was founded by the Taxi Diamond Association of Montreal and was meant to protect its 2,000 members who had trouble getting insurance.

That was the case until 1963, when the company offered insurance to all cab drivers, and then 1970 began to provide home insurance as well. Later, Groupe Commassur (a company composed of belairdirect and Groupe Commerce) bought the Bel Air Insurance Company Inc. shares and, in 1984, divested from the Taxi Diamond Association of Montréal.

In 1989, Commassur Inc. was bought by ING Group and by 1996, the company rebranded to belairdirect and launched in Ontario and Quebec. One year later, the company became the first in North America to offer car insurance for purchase online.

In 2015, belairdirect expanded its online capabilities by offering quick insurance quotes within three minutes. Today, the company serves 900,000 clients across Canada.

Belairdirect offers customized auto insurance for drivers in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta and offers smart features that allow you to manage your insurance in the belairdirect app.
