ICBC Auto Insurance Reviews

Last June my girlfriend was driving my car and was rear-ended. It was clear that the other driver was at fault which we thought would make the process simple, but that's just what we thought. My girlfriend was given an adjuster who would not answer emails or phone calls. After not hearing back for over a month and escalating things to the adjusters' manager (since we actually could not get any response), we received a quote for repairs and my girlfriend finally heard back that we could go ahead with the repairs and that ICBC was covering everything (finally!).

Fast forward to this June, we just got a call from the auto shop that fixed my car saying that ICBC still had not paid him for the work that was done. My girlfriend was given another adjuster (probably after the last one was fired or quit) and sent this one an email with no response, and now has called multiple times over the past three weeks with still no response.

They don't care about you!
I had a worse experience with ICBC after an accident they only care about how many people they can put responsible for! Forgot about getting any help from them I have been calling my adjuster for more than a week. They are giving me different names. Forget about getting any mental support from them. I already had injuries from previous accidents and now my injuries are getting worse because I have to deal with ICBC myself! It's mentally challenging and they are talking about we are here to support you...

Completely in over their head. No appointments available for the next nearly 200 days in ANY city that I could get to by car. If this company is SO incapable, why do they still monopolize BC? A complete cash-grabbing scam that we have no choice but to be involved with.

Was rear ended at a red light, person at fault claimed i reversed into them - icbc sided with the claimant and denied my claim. I provided telemetry and gps data numerous times proving my vehicle was stationary and they continued to come up with new excuses to deny me.

The real reason is because my vehicle insurance is a 3rd party and icbc wanted to avoid paying anything whatsoever and sue my insurance instead. Best part, there’s no legal recourse I can take. They closed the claim while I was still mid-battle on providing the ever expanding “proof” they kept tacking on.

They are the worst auto insurance company and unfortunately have the monopoly so we don’t get a choice.

I paid for 12 months of insurance.I only used 7 but was only refunded for 4 instead of 5 months.I was also charged $22 refund license fee and $30 cancellation charge.Are you kidding me?My car died-had to give it to a wrecking yard(on my birthday to boot)and I get punished by ICBC like losing my car wasn't enough punishment.Even with the very best mathematician - it still doesn't add up. 5 months of insurance costs $534. $52 in stolen money for zero reason.I was refunded only $420.They stole over $100 of my money after losing my car.I registered and insured the car I purchased yesterday and still I am being punished. What?Do they seriously expect a person with absolutely zero money to keep and insure and pay to park 2 cars?I am absolutely furious.I received the rudest service EVER from an incompetent agent. I live on a disability pension where I earn a whopping $998 per month.I am $700 in the hole and apparently going to stay there because my money was stolen by this agent.

The worse experience ever. ICBC Customer Service are the rudest people in the universe. They just do not care what are you saying. They can care less. It is obvious their mistake and still, they do not care. I called 3 times and they still did not send me the report I have asked for. Also, ICBC is the most expensive. Why in BC we only have only one insurance company. Absolutely terrible in every possible way.

The accident wasn't my fault I got a concussion. The concussion limited my eyesight and still causing me blackouts so they promised wage subsidy after one month of nothing I kept emailing trying to phone nothing I provided everything they asked for three months later they finally made it clear that unemployment insurance had to come first and that they were going to top up the wages. I have now waited 6 months nothing from ICBC they decided to send me an email recently saying who cares about your symptoms and blackouts get back to work! So ICBC promotes unsafe driving now and people on the roads that may pass out! This isn't an insurance company it is a scam!

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?

64 year old with a clean driving history. My insurance went up to $175.00, almost 10 %. This is a tax grab. ICBC should be opened up for a competition to make it more efficient and fiscally responsible

Rates keep going up every year, even for experienced and safe divers - often at least twice as expensive as other provinces for the same coverage, vehicle, and driver. ICBC has an unchecked monopoly and should not be allowed to continue operating like this.
