Your vehicle may need to be rated in a delivery rate class, depending on what else you use the vehicle for and how often you use the vehicle for delivery. We want to make sure you're covered so talk to your broker about how you plan to use the vehicle. They’ll help make sure you have the right insurance.
You don’t need to own a vehicle to start building an insurance discount. Insurance premiums are based on a combination of factors, including driving experience, crash history, where you live and how you use your car, as these are all factors that make up your risk.

No. There are situations when you can insure a vehicle without a valid driver's licence. For example, you might own and insure a vehicle but depend on others to drive it. For more information, speak to an Autoplan broker.
If you’re a learner, you can insure a car with a learner’s licence. Crashes caused during the learner stage will not go on your driving record; however the learner premium will apply to help cover the risk that learner drivers represent.
If a learner will be driving your car, you will need to list them on your policy and the learner premium will apply. The learner premium ranges from $130 to $230 per year, depending on where you live.
Find out more about the learner premium.

reducing your coverage to a minimum, or
getting a short-term policy lasting between three and 11 months.
If you cancel your policy before it expires, you can be eligible for a refund. Find out more about cancelling your insurance.

Peer-to-peer car sharing allows car owners to make their vehicles available for others to rent via an online platform.
How you are insured will depend on whether the peer-to-peer company has ICBC blanket insurance or not. Peer-to-peer rental companies are not required to have ICBC blanket insurance, so you should enquire with them directly to find out if they have it.
