Renew your Autoplan insurance in the convenience of your own home.

Online Renewals

The government announced that British Columbians will soon have the convenience of renewing their insurance online up to 45-days in advance. This means, some insureds can renew as early as March 17th (for a May 1st effective date).

Decal Elimination

EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2022.

Now, with the new online renewal system all BC drivers will no longer be required to display a decal. As many of you were probably curious regarding how you were supposed to obtain the decal with renewing online, you don’t need it!

Road Safety

Previously, law enforcement would scan your license plates decal to confirm active insurance. Now that ICBC is no longer issuing decals, law enforcement will remain up-to-date with ICBC’s changes, they will soon receive ALPR (automated license plate reader) to scan for active insurance.

The Broker

Now, this doesn’t totally eliminate the broker. We are still here to assist in the review of your online renewal, questions, concerns, and changes. This new online service is only applicable to renewal transactions; not for transfers, policy changes, or new plates.
