What do I need to know about car insurance in Cranbrook, B.C?

It’s mandatory for all drivers to purchase car insurance from ICBC to help ensure that they are protected with a basic level of coverage.

Basic autoplan insurance for ICBC includes $200,000 in third-party liability coverage. Third-party liability helps protect you in cases such as non-vehicle property damage or driving out of province, and it can protect you in situations where the law permits the other driver to sue.

If you make a third-party liability claim against the person who's responsible for a car crash and they don't have enough insurance to pay for your claim, Underinsured Motorist Protection (UMP) covers you. Basic underinsured motorist protection covers you and members of your household for claims of up to $1 million per insured person.

If you want to increase the amount of coverage you have in the event, you're responsible for a crash, you may want to consider extended third-party liability coverage, an optional Autoplan coverage.

I came into the office with a headache of a situation, but Sarah was absolutely incredible. She was polite, calm, and professional from the moment I walked in. Not only did she listen carefully, but she also managed to sort everything out for me in an amazingly quick amount of time. Her service was truly the definition of customer care done right. Huge thank you to Sarah. She made what could’ve been a frustrating experience genuinely pleasant.

We had such a great experience with Sarah Leben! We were trying to get our car registered and insured, and ran into a bit of a hiccup with ICBC. Instead of just sending us away, she stuck with us the whole way through. She followed up twice with ICBC to help us sort it out and make sure everything would go through properly. What really stood out was how reassuring and professional she was the whole time. She made a stressful situation feel way more manageable. If you’re looking for someone who actually cares and will go the extra mile, I highly recommend her!
