Auto insurance (also known as vehicle insurance or motor insurance) is a form of protection that British Columbians and Vancouverites buy for their cars, trucks, RV's and other vehicles. Typically, this will cover the primary insured party, his or her vehicle, and any third parties along with their vehicle.
In Vancouver, and all of British Columbia, it is the law to purchase auto insurance before using your vehicle on public roads. The penalties for non compliance may include a substantial fine, license suspension, as well as possible incarceration.






In 1974, the provincial government legislated the auto insurance industry and requires that the standard or basic autoplan insurance be purchased from ICBC, a Crown Corporation. Experienced drivers are rewarded with premiums that are comparable to many other western provinces, while less experienced / high risk drivers have premiums that are regulated by an enhanced grid system.
Our goal at Auto Insurance Vancouver is to help point you in the direction of an auto insurance policy that is best suited to your unique situation as a motorist. Every driver is different, and therefore careful consideration must be given as to which policy is best for them.
We've also included information on other types of insurance that Vancouverites commonly search for, including Home, Bike, Boat, Skidoo, ATV, RV and information on how to import an automobile. We can also direct you on where to obtain quick and easy insurance quotes.
