ICBC's rental coverage isn't all roses either: https://www.icbc.com/insurance/Docum...ure-032021.pdf (see page 23)

It only covers cars up to $125/day CAD and $100/day USD which isn't that high especially right now with few cars. I checked on the Enterprise site (they're one of the cheapest companies) and for Sept 21 for 1 day a Kia Forte (or similar) is $127/day. The only cars that are covered by ICBC are the Chevy Spark and Nissan Versa class.
I'd assume $125 is before the taxes and fees?

Anyways, it's crazy how expensive rental cars are right now.. I'm booking compact for $114 a day or $164 after taxed.. eww
