If you’re in a crash with a vehicle that’s licensed outside of the province then more information is needed to start your claim.

Out-of-province vehicles are not insured with ICBC, which means we don't have access to their insurance information. If you’re involved in a crash with an out-of-province vehicle, it’s important to collect the right information so that we can track down their insurance company for your claim. If you don’t provide enough information you will need to pay your deductible whether or not you are at fault.

If you’re involved in an accident with an out-of-province vehicle please collect or take photos of:

• The insurance company name, policy number, and phone number
• Driver’s name, address, phone number, and licence number
• Photos of the crash and scene
• If the police attend, the police report number (where applicable)
• The name and phone number of any witnesses

If you are a GST registrant, this means you are registered with Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), have a business number and sell taxable products and services. You will be responsible for paying the GST to the repair facility on completion of repairs to your vehicle.

ICBC does not pay the GST on repairs as you can claim the GST paid as an Input Tax Credit or apply to the CRA for a rebate. Insurance doesn’t cover expenses that you get back from other sources such as income tax deductions.
