Private Auto Insurance
ICBC Autoplan and Private Insurance Options
Since 1974, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) has been the province’s sole provider of Basic Autoplan coverage. Basic insurance provides the minimum amount of insurance coverage you need to legally operate your vehicle providing you with $200,000 Third Party Liability coverage and, in the event of an accident, covers injury-related medical expenses – no matter who is at fault. Optional coverage which enables you to add to your coverage can now be purchased through ICBC or from several different private carriers. Both ICBC and private carriers like Intact and Family Insurance allow you to increase your Third Party Liability coverage to $5,000,000, increase your Underinsured Motorist Protection to $2,000,000 and add Collision and Comprehensive protection to suit your needs. Depending on the coverage you choose there are many advantages to purchasing your optional coverage from a private carrier including:
No Penalty or Premium Increase for first time, at fault Accidents
Lower Deductibles and Premiums
No Deductible for Fire, Lightning or Theft of Vehicle
Discounts for Electronic and Mechanical Immobilizers
Assistance with Liability Negotiation when Who is at Fault is in Question
Private insurance companies also offer competitively priced features and extra discounts that are not available through ICBC. If you have multiple vehicles you may also want to explore the benefits of fleet insurance.
