Liability and all that, but it sounds like a convoluted way to anchor lessees to ICBC. I was told by the BCAA broker that ICBC have signed a blanket agreement with most common financial companies, but private insurers have not?

Curious what brand? I had a hell of a time switching my BMW lease to BCAA insurance, but it had absolutely nothing to do with ICBC and everything to do with BMW signing an agreement with Allwest, and Allwest has all the right to govern what minimum coverage you have.
On a side note, Allwest as a company is fucking retarded and their processes needs a HUGE shake. They sent us a letter to renew a Mini Cooper that was NOT ours, included the registration number, plates, address, and a bunch of personal info of the other owner. In this day and age of massive security breaches, that kind of negligence is simply unacceptable.
