ICBC Auto Insurance Reviews

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”.

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.

Completely disgusted with ICBC… They could care less what the facts are... They make up stories and NEVER even go to the scene of the incident and actually investigate it! Sitting behind a computer and reading some reports to determine who is at fault is DISGUSTING!! Each driver should have to return to the scene with the investigator and walk through what happened! ICBC IS A JOKE!!!

I was looking for a motorcycle quote and can't get one online, so I went to the ICBC broker location who also tried to use the site and was unable to provide me with the quote as well. This system is not user-friendly and this is extremely frustrating. People should be able to receive quotes for different classes of vehicle/motorcycle so that they can prepare the living expense.

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.

Changed bank accounts and ICBC didn't upset system, when called in, changed my address in the system, though. So, when I realized issue called into account services were was told to $645 to resolve the issue. I paid in cash but put the receipt in insurance paperwork. This was a month a half ago, Friday, I went down to the car only to discover my plates were removed, insurance paperwork was removed and note from ICBC that I had to pay $1900. Called ICBC, where I had to wait on hold for half hour only to be told it was my fault and even if I did go pay the $1900 plus bailiff fees I wouldn't be able to renew my insurance. I was only behind a month in payments, again, because they didn't update the banking info I submitted. Have now spoken to two supervisors who have blamed Canada post for me not receiving any notices, the bailiff they hired for stealing things from my car, the insurance broker for ICBC system not showing my payment and my fault. The agents were rude and mean to me.

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.
