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.
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.
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 $3000 for full insurance for a new driver.)
They have outrageous surcharges for a person with a collision history.
The autoplan brokers are not very knowledgeable and not very helpful, I have to call in at the ICBC centre to reassess my discount history and claim history in order to get a proper discount rate.
(I'm fed up with ICBC being a monopoly in the car insurance industry and it's time we allowed a competitor into BC.)
ICBC has had its monopoly for too long now. Its about time we allow private insurance companies to operate in BC. I would like to highlight the problems of monopoly and how the BC residents are taken for a ride by this monster called ICBC. First of all, the most expensive insurance in the world is ICBC - there is no insurance in the world that charges 4000$ for a new driver except ICBC. The sad part is that they are getting away with it since no one apparently in BC is doing anything to end this mockery.
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.
Called to make a claim and the adjustor I spoke to was condescending and rude. Laughed and called me dumb for asking questions. Seeing as it was my first accident and I had already been quite shaken up over the whole ordeal, she only made the process much more unbearable. I'm not sure what is required to work at ICBC but if these are the sorts of people the company has representing them, it's not a surprise why the ratings are so low. She was easily the most unpleasant person I have ever spoken to. Refused to answer questions and was outright disrespectful and unhelpful. Overall unpleasant experience.
I had a car accident and it wasn't my fault. I had a call from the adjuster cause my car was total loss. She called and told me that she'll give me less money for my car and told me that I'm lucky. Lucky? I injured my back and lost my beautiful car and she's telling me that I'm lucky. I got so frustrated so i hired an ICBC lawyer called Nirwan Law Corporation. Harpreet already knew my problem and after only a month I got my money from the car and in 6 months from injury. Thank you Harpreet for all your hard work. I simply recommend Harpreet to anyone who struggles with ICBC SCAMMERS!
This is the worst company I have worked with. In my over 20 years driving this is the worst company and we do not have any other alternative in BC. Why there is a monopoly of car insurance in BC?
Thanks for this spot to express my feelings about the insurance company of BC.
ICBC does not have your interest in sight...deny deny deny claims until you are so torqued you seek legal help, and then deny deny deny until court. Would love another choice, another option, and well freedom...to choose. Wouldn't wish ICBC on my enemies, unless they were ICBC, and then they would deserve each other. Is there another option? Insuring out of province?
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.
