About ICBC
The
Drive to Make a Difference.
We’re driven to ensure the well-being of drivers. We’re working to keep
rates low and stable, providing hassle-free service, and proactively
partnering to reduce crashes and
loss.
The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) is a provincial Crown
corporation established in 1973 to provide universal auto insurance to BC
motorists. In addition, the Corporation is responsible for driver
licensing, vehicle registration and licensing.
All motorists in BC are required to buy a basic package of ICBC Autoplan
insurance that provides coverage for third party liability protection,
accident benefits, underinsured motorist protection, hit-and-run and
uninsured motorists protection and inverse liability.
In addition to providing this basic insurance, the Corporation competes with
other automobile insurance companies by offering extended third-party
liability and other optional insurance coverage such as collision and
comprehensive coverage.
In setting premiums, ICBC does not discriminate on the basis of age, sex or
marital status and discounts are provided based on the number of years that
a driver has been claims free. The Corporation collects insurance premiums
from more than 2.6 million motorists and invests these premiums to provide
insurance benefits for customers and victims of crashes.
We work with communities and stakeholder groups to help them take
responsibility for their road safety challenges. We work with Autoplan
brokers to promote safe driving through a series of programs under the
umbrella name of RoadSense. We invest in a number of loss-prevention
initiatives in pursuit of the financial benefits from reduced crashes,
injuries and deaths.
There are approximately 5,000 employees working at ICBC. Opportunities are
located throughout the province and include careers in a variety of fields
including: claims adjusting, drivers' services, information services,
insurance, finance and customer service.
