    I have had the experience to work with an insurance advisor named Jaclyn de Groot. She is an amazing employee who has helped me numerous times with my insurance needs. She is very professional and fun to work with. Jaclyn is very positive and incredibly knowledgeable about all kinds of insurance. She tailors your needs to the right coverage for you. I would highly recommend Jaclyn for all your insurance needs.

    I would like to thank Jaclyn de Groot for the great service I always receive when I go there to renew my auto insurance. She always takes me through the different options I have. Either ICBC or private insurance. Checks the cost and the best solution. She is a great asset to your organization.

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
