AJ and Rishi were extremely helpful in getting our out of country vehicle registered and insured; even staying late to finish our service to make sure we were able to drive our car home from the shop same day. Jessica the branch manager went out of her way to help us avoid a headache. Best customer service I’ve received from anyone in a long time

Renewing car insurance is not typically my idea of fun, but that was before Andrew.
He took the time to walk me through the labyrinth of coverage options, all the while being friendly and patient.
He didn’t sigh when I asked the same question twice. He didn’t flinch when I descended into a Friday-afternoon-induced bout of delirium. Just calm, competent and knowledgeable.
If you want someone who won’t deduct your will to live or claim your afternoon, ask for Andrew.

Frequently Asked Questions About Western Financial Group Inc. - Canada's Insurance Broker
Does my ICBC insurance cover someone else driving my car?
Yes, your ICBC insurance will cover someone else driving your car, but ICBC requires that you list all potential drivers, whether secondary or occasional, on your policy. Once listed, these individuals are covered under your policy. There is also some coverage available for unlisted drivers, but it may be subject to a penalty. Be sure to classify a friend or family member as a secondary driver if you know that they will be driving your car during the policy term.
