Claim process

Horrible experience, after someone hit my wife and me. ICBC is not good to deal with but in BC you have no choice but to deal with them. Thanks BC government!

Never Trust ICBC

by Adel on May 19, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

I had to work in Vancouver for one month in 2016, I bought a car and I did insurance with this insurance company. I paid the first month but I left back to Quebec the same month and the engine of the car stopped at the road and I went to the garage. They told me to scrap the car. The same day I called the insurance company and cancelled. All was good after then I found just now on my Equifax reported that I have a personal loan with this company, so I'm gonna talk with my lawyer and report them by Equifax Canada.

Hit and Run accident

One month after someone hit and run my car still haven't heard back from ICBC. Keep calling and emailing multiple times without any luck. But when you have to pay them if you delay one day the ask 25% overdraft and if you fail the second day the just cancel your insurance and flag you to the police. If this is not an excellent customer service then what is it?

Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.

Lawyer up! Get informed

I got reared ended by another driver! So frustrated and adjuster was just horrible. He played games with documents and would accuse me of things without even reading the reports from the health care professionals. I emailed his supervisor and requested someone new. She refused. All the damage to my wife/me are in our muscles so we can't get a serious claim unless we wait for a year to see what is happening. The loss of quality of life isn't really a consideration unless something is super serious. I'm pretty frustrated with the overall process. I want a different option.

Horrible Experience

by A totally Annoyed Citizen on Oct 19, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I had a hit and run claim with an independent witness. Yet ICBC can still decline the claim saying that the height of the damages on both vehicles did not match. I also had another experience of enquiring some simple questions at the ICBC licensing office and when they could not provide a clear answer, they asked you to leave or else will call the Police. Can you believe it? Yes by-product of being a monopoly and that independent supervision towards them is not effective . Worst experience I ever had with similar authority.

icbc is a joke

Completely disgusted with ICBC… They could care less what the facts are... They make up stories and NEVER even go to the scene of the incident and actually investigate it! Sitting behind a computer and reading some reports to determine who is at fault is DISGUSTING!! Each driver should have to return to the scene with the investigator and walk through what happened! ICBC IS A JOKE!!!

Garbage company and bad people

They act nice talking to you, then when finally get into details they change into a money-hungry monster saying wrong accusations of what had happened even though a video was sent for them to see. Claim adjuster last words to me were talk to my manager because they can't make up enough stuff to say that I was wrong. After defending myself, the claim adjuster doesn't even email me back and just keep me in the cold. Horrible company.

Worst insurance company ever

by Kyliewystrach on Jul 21, 2019

One year my insurance is 251$ a month then it’s 785$ a month for one minor at-fault claim that there was no physical damage to either car, minor as they get. No one asked for photos of my car or anything. I’ve talked to at least 4 different brokers now and no one knows what is going on. ICBC are thieves and will do anything to screw you over. They are making it impossible for people to afford insurance in BC!

Inexperienced, and exhausting

Everything dealing with ICBC is a complete nightmare, every broker works on a different system, so if you go to 2 different brokers, they have no idea what is going on with a claim, if you're making a claim, if insurance on a vehicle has been cancelled or anything! It's like dealing with toddlers trying to put the square brick in the circular hole... I was in a collision and I immediately pulled over and called ICBC. My vehicle at the time, to my knowledge, was driveable and I told the agent that. 2 min later as I'm driving home, the power steering goes and I take the car to a mechanic, an ICBC certified mechanic and they take apart the front end and give me an assessment. I decide I can fix it cheaper than it would be to make a claim and tow it home, I try to cancel my insurance that same day (at broker 1) and I'm told I CAN'T and to wait a couple of weeks. Time goes by with my vehicle sitting in my backyard not driveable and I'm charged another month of insurance... same day I go to a different broker that's closer and ask them to cancel the insurance, no problem, it's done, I ask to get a refund for the month that was just charged, can't do it, I have to call ICBC, Ok... sure... quick phone call and I'm told I have to email them, I email them and I'm told to call them (see a pattern yet?). I finally get a hold of someone on the phone and they tell me because my vehicle was listed as driveable and I decided not to make a claim that they won't refund me... on top of that they tell me my insurance hasn't even been cancelled yet! Broker #2 hasn't submitted the paperwork yet (all good it's only been a week...) Useless insurance, ICBC is a monopoly on insurance that not only doesn't work but it's FORCED! You have to have ICBC to drive in BC, I would rather move back and forth from AB to BC to keep my 6 months of AB insurance. Moving back to Alberta ASAP where efficiency isn't just a theory...

If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.

Absolutely worst

I had two claims in the past 3 years, unfortunately. One is 100% my fault and another is 0% ( I was rear-ended and I was a passenger only). Both experiences are absolutely horrible. 1. The accident that I was 100% at fault was very minor. The damage in total is less than 1000$. But ICBC increased my insurance by $5000 in 3 years!! 2. I was injured in another accident as a passenger. ICBC just tried their best to avoid paying for my medical bills. Almost 2 years past, they owe me $4000 in medical bills. When they charge someone, they are so efficient; when it is time for them to perform their duties, they become useless. Hate them !!
