Your 2024 rebate

At the end of our most recent fiscal year, ICBC is in a strong financial position thanks to better-than-expected investment income and the work we’ve done to build back our capital reserves. So we’re issuing a one-time $110 rebate to eligible insurance customers.

Who is eligible for the 2024 rebate 

Most customers who had an active Basic insurance policy in February 2024 are eligible to receive a 2024 rebate. This includes both personal and commercial policies. Customers with multiple policies will receive a rebate for each policy that is eligible. 

However, some policy types are not eligible, including: 

  • Storage policies 

  • Temporary Operation Permits 

  • Policies for golf carts, off-road vehicles, limited speed motorcycles, trailers and collector vehicles 

When ICBC will process your rebate

Rebate processing dates by rebate method

Payment plan from late May to mid-June
Credit card from late May to mid-July
Direct deposit late May to end of July 
Cheque late May to end of July

The dates above are when ICBC will process your rebate, not when you will see it applied to your credit card or payment plan, deposited into your account or when your cheque will be delivered to you.  

Even after ICBC has issued your rebate, the following factors may affect when you receive it:  

  • Processing times at your financial institution or credit card issuer 

  • The date of your payment plan’s next scheduled payment 

  • Mail processing and delivery timelines in your community 

All eligible customers will receive a letter with details on how they will receive their rebate.

ICBC does not issue rebates by text message or email

If you receive a text message or email claiming to contain your ICBC rebate, you can ignore it or mark it as spam. Eligible ICBC customers will only receive their rebates by the methods below.

Most customers will receive their rebate via the payment method used to pay for their eligible policy. If you have multiple policies and paid using different payment methods, you could receive your rebates in multiple ways.

No action is required! Your 2024 rebate will be issued to you as a refund to the credit card you used to pay for your policy. Check your credit card statements for a refund labelled “ICBC Refund,” as you may have already received it. 

Credit card refunds will be issued from late May to mid-July. However, your credit card issuer may require up to a month to process and apply the refund. 

Some customers may see the "ICBC Refund" applied to their credit card, then disappear. This is typically due to how your credit card issuer processes refunds. If the refund has not been applied to the credit card after a month, please contact us for assistance.

If the credit card is inactive or expired

You’ll receive your 2024 rebate by direct deposit (if you’re signed up) or by cheque.  

  • For direct deposit, your 2024 rebate will be automatically deposited to your account. Deposits will be issued starting in late May, and typically take one to three days to show up in your account. 

  • Cheques will be processed from late May to the end of July. It may take another one to six weeks for cheques to be delivered.

Are you still enrolled in the payment plan? 

Starting in June, your 2024 rebate will be applied to your next scheduled payment(s) until you’ve received the $110 in full. This applies to customers who pay monthly and quarterly. 

What if you’re no longer paying via payment plan? 

You’ll receive your 2024 rebate by cheque. Cheques will be processed from late May to the end of July. It may take another one to six weeks for cheques to be delivered. 

Are you a payment plan customer who received a cheque for less than $110?

You received a cheque because your policy term ended before ICBC could apply the full rebate amount.

Are you a payment plan customer who received a credit of $5 or less in your bank account?

You received this credit because your policy term ended before ICBC could apply the full rebate amount, and ICBC typically will not issue cheques under $5.

Have you already signed up for direct deposit with ICBC? 

Your 2024 rebate will be automatically deposited to your account. Deposits will be issued starting in late May, and typically take one to three days to show up in your account. 

If you haven’t signed up for direct deposit, you’ll receive your 2024 rebate by cheque. Cheques will be processed from late May to the end of July. It may take another one to six weeks for cheques to be delivered.

However, there are some exceptions:  

  • If you lease your vehicle: You may receive your 2024 rebate by cheque. 

  • If your vehicle is jointly owned: ICBC will send one cheque made out to all registered owners, per our legal requirements, unless you're enrolled in the payment plan.

  • If you have outstanding debt with the BC Family Maintenance Agency (BCFMA): If ICBC has received an active Notice of Attachment from BCFMA, your rebate will be applied to the account. Please contact BCFMA if you have questions: 1-866-557-2427.
