For policies renewing May 1st and later, you are now able to renew your ICBC Auto insurance in B.C. online.
ICBC has made changes to the auto insurance renewal process starting this year, 2022. For policies renewing after May 1st, many customers will have the option of renewing car insurance online!
To make the online renewal process even easier, ICBC is phasing out the need for decals to be applied onto your license plate, also effective May 1st.
When renewing ICBC insurance online, customers will be able to renew their current coverage, update addresses as well as change the drivers listed on their policy and how they use their vehicle. Making changes to optional coverages (collision, comprehensive and liability for example) will not be available online and must be completed in person through a broker. Also certain types of insurance renewals are not yet available online. Leased vehicles, Jointly owned Vehicles, and Commercial Vehicles as well as Motorcycles are not going online in this initial phase.
We are excited to help guide you through this new phase of ICBC Auto Insurance, and will still be available to help you make any changes to your car insurance, whether you are using the new online renewal system or visiting our office in person.
