ICBC Auto Insurance Reviews

Called about 15 times; spoke to different people and still got same answer. I asked why, they told me only the first adjuster review the evidence, everyone else only based on what initial adjuster typed into system. Abosulutely useless supervisor, manager, and coordinator; these people only 1 looked at the evidence. Also received different sayings. One of the adjusters told me she could measure my car’s position from my dash cam footage. I asked their supervisor for the tool name and how the device work, but she actually told me there’s no such tool, they had to eye-ball. What a bull shit, eye-balling can be accurate?!
BTW, they taught me, when someone is trying to merge to your lane, you are not required to slow down, they have to find a good time and spot to merge even when there’s construction ahead of another lane.

Me and my husband was in Langley ICBC branch today and we were treated awful, we went to that branch twice to make sure if my husband can go for class 1 test and both time we were told - yes he can and today my husband went to do his test and we were told that my husband doesn't qualify for this yet because he doesn't have 3 years experience! When I asked her why we were told that he can go for his test when we were here last time she tells that I can't talk and my husband has to answer! I was there with my husband to help because he speaks less English and she told me to go sit on the chair and let him speak. She was super rude. A very unprofessional, unpleasant and disrespectful person I ever met with so disappointed with her service.

Having only one insurance provider (ICBC) is a disaster for BC ...

endless multi charges for a single fault

you have to pay ticket and pay point premium

Straight up story; backed my boat into the water with my QX60 SUV Hybrid and it stalled out wouldn't start again, the vehicle was by no means submerged and Infiniti doesn't want to stand up for their piece of crap, so started a claim but instead of saying it's under comprehensive they are calling it a collision with the water!!!!!! What a crooked company and it is government owned so I guess you know what that means, won't allow competition into BC cause they would go out of business and just charge ya to the poor house, a good old cash cow for them at our cost.

My father was involved in a motor vehicle accident that was staged. An east Indian male accused my father of rear-ending his red pickup truck. If you don't believe it, google my review title as the story was covered on CTV news. I went ahead and performed an FOI request to the city. The traffic footage showed a driver in a red pickup truck purposely reversing into my father's vehicle while waiting to make a left-hand turn at an intersection on a red light. I was furious and wasn't about to let the driver of the red pickup get away with it. I reached out to ICBC regarding the incident after I performed an FOI. The ICBC adjuster tried to accuse me of fabricating video evidence in my attempt to blame the other driver. I told the ICBC adjuster that he's on crack. I told the ICBC adjuster that he needs to do an FOI to obtain the video from the city or repay the $378 fee that the city charged my father for the video. The adjuster refused to do an FOI and to compensate my father for the video footage and then threatened to blame my father 100% for the accident. So I responded in kind. I reached out to CTV News and that is how the claim was eventually foiled. In the end, ICBC never performed an FOI but reimbursed my father for $378. ICBC is very lucky this did not happen to me as I was not the driver as I would have gotten a lawyer and sued ICBC for $10,000,000 for accusing me of fabricating video evidence and then trying to blame this on me without any evidence other than a word of some east Indian male driver. If I had an option for another insurance company, I would never insure my vehicle with ICBC. ICBC are legalized crooks!

ICBC you are the worst. I cannot believe that a company with such a massive responsibility to the province of British Columbia can be so reckless and disorganized. Your system puts its' users into poor positions and your insolence towards the people of this province is disgraceful.

My car was hit after I changed a lane from right to middle by the one from left to middle. The driver tried to hit-and-run but was finally caught by me. I asked for ICBC paper and found he is not the owner of the car, asked his driver license but he refused and ran away. I called Vancouver Police right away but they refused to follow up because he said I got the Car information. I called ICBC to report the accident and the adjuster said it is 50/50. I said, I have a dash cam footage and would like to show how my car was hit but she refused to watch it and just asked me to find any body shop. I insisted to provide the dash cam footage and she asked me to deliver it to New Westminster claim center and they will copy the file for her. When I delivered it, the receptionist said that there was no equipment to copy my footage. I called the claim center again and another guy said just provide ICBC a USB with the file. I delivered the new USB to the same claim center in New Westminster and another receptionist said she will arrange a delivery of my USB to the adjustor. I requested that once the adjustor received my USB to acknowledge it either by email or phone. I waited for a whole week but there was no reply at all. I called more than 5 times and found out that the adjustor was away for holiday and that no one handles my case. I waited another 5 days and finally reached her. She said she couldn't find my USB and asked me either to deliver the new one or try to upload it to YouTube. I finally got my friend’s help to upload the video and sent her the link, she called me back later and said it is still 50/50. I didn't accept and would like to appeal. She said I need to talk to the manager and provided his phone number. I called and he was in vacation. (it seems that everybody working in ICBC takes vacation and no one follows up on my case). I waited for a few days and found out that he was finally back. I called more than 4 times and left a message but without any call back or reply... I called and emailed the previous adjustor asking for help but no reply at all. So far, ICBC is really pisses customers off and how do they even dare to increase premiums and pay many staff members bonus....

I can not think of a better description for this place then Incompetence with a flair for rude and insanity.
Totally bad place, rude and incompetent.

ICBC is extremely expensive and gives you nothing back.
Its one of the reasons i am considering moving out of BC

They are very expensive, especially if you are a new driver. ( Typically $3000 for full insurance for a new driver.)
They have outrageous surcharges for a person with a collision history.
The autoplan brokers are not very knowledgeable and not very helpful, I have to call in at the ICBC centre to reassess my discount history and claim history in order to get a proper discount rate.

(I'm fed up with ICBC being a monopoly in the car insurance industry and it's time we allowed a competitor into BC.)
