Insurance notes in British Columbia
Original AutoMart Canada notes for shoppers in British Columbia. Rates and programs change — confirm with a dealer, insurer, or the provincial government before you buy.
ICBC is the public auto insurer. Vehicle class and territory (Lower Mainland vs Interior) move the premium more than the brand alone.
New vehicles cost more to insure in the first years because replacement value is high. Theft ratings on popular crossovers and trucks in large cities will move the quote more than horsepower.
Get the insurance quote before you sign the bill of sale. A vehicle you cannot insure is not a deal.
