Basic Auto Insurance Coverage
All B.C. motorists must carry Basic Autoplan insurance that includes the following five benefits:
$200,000 Third-Party Liability
If you are involved in an at-fault accident, this will protect you from any claims made against you for material damage or bodily injury to the other party.
We highly recommend that you carry much higher limits, which are available at a reasonable premium. Speak to our Autoplan staff for further details.
Accident Benefits
This will pay for the loss of wages or benefits, rehabilitation, and medical expenses related to an auto accident death regardless of who was at fault.
Underinsured Motorist Protection
This will cover you and your family for your injuries in the event that you are involved in an accident where the other party does not carry adequate insurance coverage.
Hit and Run/Uninsured Motorists
Your Basic Autoplan policy will cover you to the limit of $200,000 if you are injured or killed by a hit and run or uninsured motorist.
Inverse Liability Coverage
This will cover you in any North American jurisdiction where the law restricts you from recovering your losses from a driver that caused the accident.
RESTRICTIONS
The Basic Autoplan policy will not cover you outside of the continental United States or Canada. Should you wish to travel to Mexico or to any other country outside of North America, it is recommended that you purchase adequate insurance for those jurisdictions.

There is a wide array of optional coverages available to you from Autoplan. We recommend that you discuss these with any one of our professional Autoplan representatives at 1-877-559-7556.

Limited Depreciation
This coverage will reduce the depreciation on your vehicle provided your model year is within three years old.
Collision
Collision coverage will pay for the repairs or replacement of your vehicle, less your deductible, in the event of an accident. This coverage will cover you regardless of who is at fault in the accident.
Comprehensive
Comprehensive coverage covers everything that collision won’t, e.g. fire, lightening, flying objects, theft, earthquake, windstorm, hail, rising water, malicious mischief, riot, or civil commotion. Comprehensive will also cover impact with an animal. Windshield damage is typically claimed under this coverage.
Specified Perils
This coverage is much like Comprehensive but does not include damage caused by impact with an animal or flying objects, which prevents this coverage from extending to your windshield.
