Brokers who live
and give back here.
The Broadway corridor links some of Vancouver’s busiest neighbourhoods, from Mount Pleasant and Fairview to Cambie Village and Kitsilano. With Vancouver General Hospital, City Hall and Granville Island nearby, our broker supports customers who live and work across the city.
Whether you rent an apartment in Fairview, own a condo in Mount Pleasant, commute along Broadway or run a business on the corridor, your coverage has to fit your unique life. An older walk-up, a new condo tower and a character house in Kitsilano each raise different insurance questions.
Your insurance should reflect your home, vehicle, business and how you actually use them. Our brokers can help you take a personalized look at what makes sense for you rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Local questions worth asking
West Broadway Vancouver risks to review with your broker
Where you live can make a difference to your insurance. From older apartment buildings and rentals to strata condos and busy corridors, our West Broadway brokers with Western Coast Insurance Services can help you understand what your policy covers, what it doesn’t and whether there are additional options worth considering.
Earthquakes and Older Buildings
A City of Vancouver report named Fairview, Mount Pleasant and Kitsilano among six neighbourhoods holding 65% of the city’s seismic risk, with many at-risk buildings built before 1990, including wood-frame multi-unit buildings. Earthquake coverage is an add-on, for renters and owners alike. Let's check if it works for you.
Ask your West Broadway broker
Explore earthquake protection Can I add earthquake coverage to my tenant or condo policy, and how would the deductible work?
Renting on the Broadway Corridor
Many West Broadway customers rent apartments in Fairview and Mount Pleasant. Your landlord’s policy covers the building, not your belongings or your liability. Tenant insurance can also pay for temporary housing if your unit can’t be lived in after a fire or flood.
Ask your West Broadway broker
Explore tenant insurance How much tenant insurance do I need for my belongings and liability?
Condos and Strata Deductibles
In a strata building, a leak in one unit can damage several others, and the strata deductible may be charged back to the owner where it started. Condo insurance with strong water and strata deductible coverage can help protect you from a large bill.
Ask your West Broadway broker
Review condo insurance If a leak from my unit damaged my neighbour’s, what would my policy and the strata cover?
Clinics, Offices and Shops
The Broadway corridor is home to medical clinics, professional offices, shops and restaurants. Professional liability, commercial general liability and property coverage can be tailored to your work, and business interruption may help if a covered loss forces you to close.

Your local broker, your questions
Insurance FAQs for West Broadway
Renting in Fairview, buying a condo or running a clinic on Broadway? Here are a few questions West Broadway customers often ask.
What types of insurance can I get at Western Coast’s West Broadway broker?
Our West Broadway brokers can help with ICBC renewals and optional car insurance, condo, tenant and home insurance, business insurance, boat, RV and motorcycle insurance, life and travel insurance. The options available will depend on the insurer, what you’re insuring and your individual circumstances.
Can I get insurance over the phone with the West Broadway broker?
Yes. Many customers renew and make changes by phone. You can also visit us at 445 West Broadway, Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
What does ICBC Basic Autoplan include?
ICBC Basic Autoplan is mandatory for every vehicle registered in BC. It includes $200,000 in third-party liability coverage, Enhanced Accident Benefits for injury care and recovery, Underinsured Motorist Protection of up to $1 million per insured person, and inverse liability where local laws don’t let you claim against the other driver. Many Vancouver drivers add optional coverage such as extended third-party liability, collision and comprehensive. Our brokers can help you review which options fit how you drive.
What is Underinsured Motorist Protection?
If you make a third-party liability claim against the person responsible for a crash and they don’t have enough insurance to pay it, Underinsured Motorist Protection (UMP) covers you. Basic UMP covers you and members of your household for claims of up to $1 million per insured person.
Is tenant insurance worth it for a Vancouver apartment?
For most renters, yes. It protects your belongings from theft, fire and some water damage, covers your liability if something you do damages the building or injures someone, and can pay for temporary housing during repairs. Many landlords require it.
Does home insurance cover theft and slip-and-fall accidents?
Yes, a standard home, condo or tenant policy typically covers theft, fire, vandalism and third-party slip-and-fall accidents. Limits and deductibles vary, and some items like jewellery or bikes may need extra coverage.
Is earthquake insurance included with home insurance in Vancouver?
No. Standard home insurance in BC does not include earthquake coverage, but it can usually be added as an endorsement. A City of Vancouver staff report found Fairview, Mount Pleasant and Kitsilano among the neighbourhoods carrying the most seismic risk.
Earthquake coverage typically includes dwelling coverage to repair or rebuild your home, personal property coverage for belongings like electronics and furniture, and loss-of-use coverage for additional living expenses while your home is repaired.
Earthquake deductibles are often a percentage of your coverage limit rather than a fixed amount, so ask us to show you the dollar figure.
What business insurance does a clinic or office on Broadway need?
Most start with commercial general liability and property coverage. Health and professional practices usually need professional liability, and many add business interruption and cyber coverage. Bring your lease and any contract requirements when we review options.
Can I insure my boat, RV or motorcycle through West Broadway?
Yes. Our brokers can help with motorcycle, RV and boat insurance as well as car insurance. Tell us how and where you use and store each one so we can compare suitable options.
Is Western Coast Insurance part of Western Financial Group?
Yes. Western Coast Insurance Services is part of Western Financial Group. Western Coast serves customers in British Columbia while benefiting from the broader nationwide resources of Western Financial Group.
