Don't believe the propaganda

With these new ICBC rates, and their constant ads on every radio station (wonder what that costs) I felt I should relate the truth about private insurance. I moved over to Alberta for 5 years and came back, I was a roadstar in BC, Alberta didn't recognize that, put me mid-scale. Upon moving back to BC, after the circus of going thru out of province, my rates were 10$ more a month at a max discount then mid-scale in Alberta. To do the out of province they didn't even have a proper form, I had to fill out a transfer paper from myself to myself. They also had no way to contact or get any info from the insurers in Alberta to make sure I didn't have an accident, they made me go back and contact them.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to charge "high-risk drivers" more was an idiot. Now 17-year-olds who just got their N have to pay around $350 per month. While going to school. I'm about to enter the second year of insurance and it's over $1000 more than it was last year and just another thing to worry about as I'm now in post-secondary. What a joke of a company. They just want more money in their pockets.

It’s a very defeating feeling when you realize that the government has TOTAL control over our vehicles that we own and bought with our hard-earned money. I just had to hand over $950 for only... get this. Three months of coverage!!! If I were to pay off the full year it would have cost me $3800!!! My deductibles are maxed to $1000, my coverage is lacklustre and knocked down to very basic coverage. Never been in a collision, never had any serious driving offences, drive a newer vehicle, yet I still can barely afford to be able to use my vehicle to you know... get to work, buy groceries, live my usual life?! I own my car, the government had NOTHING to do with the purchase of my vehicle. I should get to choose who I insure my possessions with. Shouldn’t be forced to use some company that only ever has their own best interests in mind. Hope you sleep well at night making your 6 figure salaries from this disgusting capitalistic monopolized industry you guys call “insurance”.

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.

Seriously pissed off

I've had 0 accidents, but 2 speeding tickets in over 10+ years of driving. My husband, who has flipped and totalled his car, plus 3 years ago had to have the breathalyzer for a year, etc. Apparently has cheaper insurance than me. How? Such a RIP-off!!! But I have to drive so I have to gork over the money. ICBC should be trashed and bring on companies we could choose cheaper rates from so they compete. I am so livid! May as well go get into an accident or drink and drive apparently, maybe then I'll have cheaper insurance!

ICBC is complete garbage, as I just renewed my car insurance I have been majorly affected by there new rates. My car insurance went up by almost 50% a month. I’m in actual shock as a “young” driver they wiped my 3 years of safe driving experience from my learners and now to them I only have 1 year! (I have never had a car accident in this time) This is garbage I have been a customer for 4 almost 5 years and they took all my discounts away. Sounds great ICBC let’s make the people younger group of people who already have a harder time pay more.

poor customer service

I've been with ICBC since last year only when I moved here in BC. The first couple of calls I kept quiet until now. I've never experienced good at least a good conversation with CSRs. Most of them are rude and easily get pissed if you asked a lot of question and not very much accommodating and helpful. Aside from a very expensive and monopolized insurance here in BC talking to a friendly and helpful voice would make a difference somehow.

Most incompetent people work here. Never helpful. My insurance went up by 25% with 40 years of safe driving. Robbing public.

customer service was mostly good with a few glitches a few times.Once I was most dismayed to only receive a few dollars for a ten day old car. that experience has left me feeling ripped off! the rates are mostly O.K. I can understand the rate of accidents here in B.C.

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.

ICBC seems pretty expensive. Not sure how they measure up with other provinces. I don't believe we have any other options for car insurance in BC.
