We know the open road beckons to motorcycle owners — it’s nigh on impossible to resist that call. You’re passionate, you’ve invested your time and energy; now it’s our turn to provide you security.
Our Western Coast insurance advisors start with mandatory ICBC coverage and can then advance your policy to the next level. We’re about the best coverage, because you and your ride are worth protecting.
In British Columbia, basic Autoplan (ICBC) is the minimum insurance coverage required by law to operate a motorcycle. From there, optional coverage is available for optimized protection.
What does it include?
- If you’re at-fault in a collision and another motorist makes a claim against you, your third-party liability protects you up to $200,000 of their injury costs and vehicle damage.
- Autoplan Accident Benefits help you, your passengers and members of your household with medical costs, lost wages and more if you’re injured in a collision — even if you’re at-fault.
- Basic Underinsured Motorist Protection (UMP) covers you and members of your household for claims of up to $1 million per insured person, if an at-fault party lacks the coverage to pay for your damages and/or injuries.
- With hit-and-run coverage on a highway, your bike is protected in the event it is damaged.
Alright, are there any items not covered with basic Motorcycle Autoplan?
Basic Motorcycle Autoplan excludes collision and comprehensive coverage, as well as third-party liability over $200,000. Additional coverage is available through ICBC and through our optional Western Coast motorcycle product, which offers the same options, as well as features not found anywhere else.
