What do I need to know about car insurance in Vernon, 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.

Okay... lets being honest. Getting and paying for insurance just plain sucks. But heading into Western made this experience much more pleasant. I have been in there a few times over the last few months for a variety of needs and have never felt anything but welcome and had all our needs met perfectly. Coming from Alberta where things are a bit different in regards to registration and insurance, the staff were very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. All of the staff are amazing and I consider them 'my people'. Will be back for all our insurance needs. 10/10

I was just calling in to cancel my insurance at the Vernon office, and an associate Kacie was more than helpful and polite. She steered me in another direction, saved me money and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Western Financial to any family member or friend in the future!
