BCAA Auto Insurance Reviews

I’m not sure what’s going on at BCAA but the overall usefulness is terrible. I’ve been a member for many years but will now be cancelling. I literally cannot renew my insurance at the South Surrey BCAA because they never have enough agents and always tell you come back another day.
Roadside assistance takes hours for the simplest battery boost.
Not recommended!

When my 5-year-old car was totalled, BCAA offered $8000, basing the offer on a Mitchell report, and refused to discuss any other amount, despite receiving me a 34-page submission with documented evidence.
I asked for arbitration, and BCAA offered no help whatsoever in initiating the process. Eight months after the accident, the arbitrator ruled that the value of the car was $12000, or 50% more than BCAA's non-negotiable offer.
It is impossible to imagine any insurance company with more difficult or less satisfactory results. Do not buy insurance from these people.

Be careful: the company relay on third-party towing Trucks. If they don't find anything around, you will have to wait in the middle of the highway for 3 or 4 hours.

Had car issues. They took over 3 hours to confirm they were coming. Left car with keys inside late at night. At 5 am the next morning I find out they never showed up to get the car. The next day was Nov.11th and they were closed. Never got a message or heard from them regarding the claim. First time using BCAA and the last time. Ridiculously unprofessional company.

I needed a battery boost and when I called BCAA to request help, it was not disclosed over the phone that Immediate Access to Roadside Assistance costs and extra $50 + plus basic membership of $80. When the facts are not mentioned, it feels like I was scammed by BCAA, The facts were not fully disclosed. I had mentioned over the phone several times that I wanted the cheapest/best value membership but I was quoted $136. Had I known that I could have only paid $80 for membership, then I would have requested someone to give my car a boost instead. They also force automatic renewal at the end of the year! You don't have consent if you would like to renew or not! This is truly a scam BCAA! I would never buy Home Insurance from BCAA. I would never by Travel Insurance from BCAA. I would never recommend anyone to use BCAA. Buyer Beware!

I just purchased a vehicle and had the lady at the dealership doing my insurance called to update my policy. We were on hold for 45 minutes while she kept asking co-workers about our questions. Meanwhile, I was late for an appointment but couldn't leave until we got this done. The agent also said this is normal for them, and you usually have to call 5-10 times to actually get through. I will not be renewing with BCAA and will be phoning the branch to tell them they should have experienced agents answering the phone.

COMPLETE FAILURE at taking into account ALL ASPECTS of client's roadside situations, chronological breakdown events, mechanics statements that vehicle could take up to a week or two to fix, necessity of client to be at another destination - not near the garage it was towed to, not accounting for ferry fees ... the list could go on. EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT at lack of detailed knowledge when speaking with BCAA agent(s).

Went in to the Lonsdale branch to replace plates, after a long time of a clerk trying to sell me new insurance, I pay my 18 dollars for new plates WHICH I came in for, not her chance to sell me my icbc insurance !

Found it very unethical treatment of an icbc policy holder.
