the new 5000km option is nice but a road trip and drive to the gym alone will probably exceed that for most leisure use owners
if it goes up another 6-10% by next renewal probably only gonna get basic coverage...makes no sense if my vehicle is approaching 15 years old and still paying over $150/mo esp with a clean record for all those years #vancouvertings #needmorelube

I'm not sure what insurance brokers make for selling things like home insurance, life insurance etc but it doesn't seem THAT unreasonable.
I'd be curious if the commission has been flat for a long time or not - it may represent an era when administering a plan was more expensive than today. At some point when things start going online I'd guess that the commission will have to come down.

The optional insurance I paid last month for my M3 was $849 with Belair......the quote I just got from BCAA for the same optional insurance was $2,336!!!!
So obviously with ICBC, Belair, and BCAA the optional insurance cost varies depending on not only your driving history but also your vehicle.

Thanks for the research on this, sounds like it’s worthwhile to check them all when renewing.

I got my latest renewal, I thought they said prices wern't going up until April?
2018 Colorado Z71 last year $2,096.00
This year $2,298.00
Went up about 9% for me, insurance due Jan 24th.
I got a quote from BCAA on optional insurance
ICBC
Third Party 2m $271
Collision $497
Comprehensive $251
Roadstar $ 20 (Use this for insurance for rental cars)
$1,031
BCAA
Third Part 1.8m $149
Collision $506
Comprehensive $491
Roadstar (BCAA) $ 20 (Use this for insurance for rental cars)
$1,161
I haven't had any accidents in 20 years and no tickets for 10, I guess I'll be sticking with ICBC for now.

I haven't had any accidents in 20 years and no tickets for 10, I guess I'll be sticking with ICBC for now. | Question -- can we cherry pick which optional insurance we purchase from different insurers, and then only go to that particular party when something under their coverage happens?
For example, in Quasi's case, I've highlighted the cheaper options from both insurers. I'm pretty sure BCAA will allow me to only purchase their $1.8M third party liability insurance. But would ICBC allow me to only purchase collision and comprehensive from them (without purchasing 3rd party liability)?
Claiming is obviously going to be a nightmare lol~ But it'd be $917 vs $1031, which is a good $114 / 10%+ savings.

I haven't had any accidents in 20 years and no tickets for 10, I guess I'll be sticking with ICBC for now. | Mine went up about 9% as well (renewed in October).
I dug into it a bit and BCUC approved a 6.4% hike for basic and 9.6% for optional starting April 2018.
ICBC applied for another 6.3% hike for basic to start April 2019, I'd imagine it will likely be approved by BCUC.
And the big changes to ICBC's rate structure, payouts, etc. will start September 2019 (news articles say April 2019, but ICBC's website says September 2019).

At this rate, it might be better of to just rent cars from those big car rental companies.
They have their own ICBC coverage, and as long as your credit card has rental collision coverage, you are largely okay.
Of course, you would responsible for any other damages that may have caused if you crash, but hey, if you didn't crash your car under your own insurance policy, why would you need to extensive insurance coverage?
$2000/yr for a compact car just on insurance (with max. 43% discount already) + depreciation + maintenance Vs ~$100/week at Budget. | |

^ so $5200/yr from Budget, take away the $2000/yr for your insurance (I'm paying much less than that, but I drive older vehicles) and you're at $3200/yr for depreciation and maintenance. Idk what you drive but I would hope most of us are paying/losing a lot less than that.

For $260/month, you can't even lease a base barebone 2018/2019 Honda Fit DX including Taxes.
Anyway, my point is ICBC is forcing all of us to pay way too much.

On the rental car front, I’ve been surprised to see all the major companies now don’t allow you to go out of province without massive surcharges.
I remember back in the day I rented from Avis for 3 weeks and did a loop around North’s America 16,000kms in total, paid $600 total for the rental hahaha now you can’t even leave Washington state without a massive surcharge or cross over into Alberta in some cases!
.... then again people doing what I did are probably why they changed things...

Avis for example has this restriction:
"28 Days maximum rental allowed."
But then Budget has a long term rental program.
For the travel thing, I wasn't talking about dropping it off somewhere else, I was talking about rental companies (admittedly I only know of 2 that do this) who would rent you a vehicle in Vancouver and actually have in the fine print that if you go farther than Washington or Alberta in your unlimited mileage that there's a (significant) surcharge... even if you are bring it back to the original location. They basically limit your "unlimited mileage" to a zone where you can drive. I am unsure how/if they verify it with GPS though. Europe does something similar too, many rental cars are not permitted in various countries and it depends on the make/model... ie: SixT won't let you take one of their BMW's to Slovenia... but they will let you take a Ford.

.... then again people doing what I did are probably why they changed things... | I know Budget charged that. Avis allows driving to US and Canadian provinces with exception of Alaska. So does Enterprise and Hertz. I always rent with Avis anyways as their vehicles are often newer and they have a nice pick up and leave member program. Quote:
Vehicles at this location can be driven throughout the Canadian Provinces with no restrictions. Based on availability; One-way rentals may be allowed to some Canadian cities. Vehicles at this location can be driven throughout the continental US with no restrictions. Based on availability; One-way rentals may be allowed to some US cities.
Vehicles at this location are not allowed to travel into Alaska. One-way rentals are also not permitted.
Vehicles at this location are not allowed to travel into Mexico. One-way rentals are also not permitted.
