ICBC Insurance / Private Insurance
 

For those who started with your L when you got your licence make sure you check your safe driving discount.
I just renewed my insurance and thought it was weird they only had me down for level seven, when I had got my licence in 2005. The insurance broker called icbc they had me down as level 9 but when he checked the dates he said it should be level 10.

I also saved $300 a year switching my optional coverage to BCAA

I am going to see if icbc will pay back the difference for the past years but I doubt it.

I was private until I got my BMW. Private insurers quoted me $300-$800 more per year than ICBC for some reason.

I was surprised 26 years old 03 boxster S two speeding tickets in the last four years and still cheaper. Off hand I think I ended up paying $1200 for a year. But that all depends where you live though

hopefully you wont have to use the insurance from BCAA and if you do good luck

Can't be any worse then dealing with icbc these days

i am also from the island. the difference isnt so large and not worth the hassle as your discount increases. i pay less than 1000 on my civic SIR fully covered under icbc . (2m, collision/ compr)
