    Never heard back from my adjuster about my claim. After months of waiting and phone calls, was told she doesn’t work there anymore. Claim was never reassigned, no one reached out, very challenging to navigate and get responses back. Will not continue with insurance here after this.

Frequently Asked Questions About Western Coast Insurance Services Ltd. | Home, Car & Business Insurance

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.

Would a second driver affect my premium?

In British Columbia, 75% of the rate is based on the primary driver’s driving record, with the other 25% based on the secondary driver with the lowest discount. Other secondary drivers can be listed on the policy but do not impact your rate. Read more at - https://westernfinancialgroup.ca/5-things-to-know-ICBC-Coverage-Occasional-Drivers
