| Basic Insurance Rates?
Hey everyone, just wondering how much the basic (down to the bone) insurance rate is?
ICBC doesn't show pricing but they say its affected by location
So how much is the lowest price just to legally drive your car in vancouver?
neone know wether you can just insure your car somewhere else in BC? ie. salt spring? bowen? etc. places that are cheaper in terms of insurance because of lower traffic?

it depends on what car you drive. different car, different rates. easiest way is to go to a local insurance place and ask for a quote, is usually 99% free.

Basic rate for you is going to be different than others, based on your discount... how long you've been driving, number of accidents, etc. It's also going to matter what kind of car, year, model, options, etc. A 1985 Honda Civic is much less to insure than a 2000 Mercedes CLK500 convertible.
For example, I have Roadstar and have been driving accident-free for 15+ years. I get a 43% discount on the basic rates. I pay $80 a month for my 1998 Cavalier Z24 with full coverage.
Insuring your car somewhere other than where you live is fraud, and ICBC *will* catch you. Don't bother.

There is no basic basic insurance.
Each car starts at a different base.
Each Location starts at a different base.
Housing has another base.
Coverage
Year
Liability
Choose a car, pick up the phone, and call an insurance place.
Say hello.
Ask them how they're doing.
Inquire about a quote on a certain vehicle.
Give them your drivers license number.
interact and discuss the coverage you will require.
Wait.
Get the quote.
Say thank you.
Hang up.
Then do one or more of the following:
Ask mommy for money because you're too broke to afford it.
Ask daddy for money because you're too broke to afford it.
End up with a cheaper car because you're too broke to afford insurance on that BMW or Benz you wanted.

People like you should be riding public transit. It's real cheap and the rest of us drivers are subsidizing your trips.

It all depends on the type of coverages, type of car, location (postal code), discount and usage. These are the basic questions that I ask customers when they call for a rate quote.

Those 5th gen Preludes are one of the most expensive vehicles to insure. Not a great choice if you are at high risk (surcharge insurance).
I have a 350Z. Safe driver for 20 years. 43% discount. $137.5 a month with pretty heavy coverage.
