FAQ

Do I need new car insurance to drive to the US?+

No. ICBC Basic Autoplan third-party liability is valid in Canada and the US. Optional coverages such as collision and rental are separate — check your policy.

What if I rent a car in the US?+

ICBC Basic covers your liability when driving most rental vehicles, but damage to the rental car itself is optional coverage. Confirm with your insurer and consider the rental company’s coverage.

What happens if I have an accident in the US?+

Your ICBC Basic applies; call the ICBC claims line as soon as possible. Medical costs are covered by your travel medical insurance.

How long can I stay and keep MSP?+

MSP normally requires you to live in BC at least 6 months plus one day per calendar year. Long stays in the US can affect eligibility.
