Details of ICBC
1992 premium and
coverage changes

HERE IS a recap of the
changes announced last
month for ICBC’s Autoplan
coverages, all effective Feb.

Third party liability premiums
will increase to reflect a continued
rise in damage and injury claims
against motorists insured by ICBC
while comprehensive premiums
will rise because of the startling
jump in theft and vandalism
claims.

Collision; premiums will fall,
thanks to an improved claims ex-
perience for this coverage.

Comprehensive and collision
Premiums are based on vehicle
market values which usually
decline over -time. Each year,
ICBC ‘‘ages” a third of B.C.’s
vehicles allowing premiums to
reflect these lower values.

Drivers who break the faw will
face a 15% hike in penalty point
premiums. The 1992 Motorists’
Kit lists the new rates on page 29.

ICBC. has also introduced some
important changes to Autoplan
coverages. ;

A new ‘‘commuter’’ class will
benefit those who drive less than
\S kilometres one way to work or
school. Many commuters in
smaller communities will qualify
for this rate.

A new ‘‘park and ride’’ rate
will apply to motorists who drive
part way to work and then take
public transit.

Premiums for these two
coverages will be lower than for
the regular ‘‘to and from work or
school’” use. Special notices will
be included with all 1992
Autoplan renewals reminding

motorists to check with their
Autoplan agents to see if they
qualify for either of these new
classes.

As of Feb. 1, underinsured
motorist protection will be includ-
ed in every B.C. motorist’s basic
coverage. That means extra pro-
tection if they or any member of
their household are injured by a
driver whose third-party coverage
is not sufficient to pay their
claims.

The limit will be $2 million
Tegardless of the third party liabil-
ity coverage purchased.

ICBC has increased the amount
of automatic comprehensive
coverage for non-manufacturer
sound or other equipment added
to a vehicle — up to $1,000 from
the current $500. Other extra
equipment will be covered up to

‘$5,000 from $1,000. Extra

coverage wiil need to be purchased
for sound or other equipment
valued above those amounts. _
These are some of the changes
that will mean extra value for
motorists in the coming year. Next
week, suggestions on how to keep
your insurance premiums as low

as possible.
