Private Auto Insurance in BC – Extended Protection & Savings

Did you know you can save money by supplementing your basic ICBC insurance with private auto coverage?

British Columbia requires all drivers to carry minimum $200,000 third-party liability under ICBC. But you can upgrade your protection—and lower your premium—by adding:

  • Extended third-party liability
  • Collision coverage
  • Comprehensive protection (theft, vandalism, fire, etc.)
  • Flexible deductibles and enhancements

At WVI Trail, we partner with top-rated private insurers to give qualified drivers more choice and better value. Speak with one of our brokers today to see how private car insurance can benefit you.

Motorcycle Insurance – Year-Round Protection

Motorcycle riders face unique risks on BC’s roads. That’s why basic ICBC liability often isn’t enough. Our motorcycle insurance solutions go beyond the minimum to protect your:

  • Bike (with agreed value coverage)
  • Riding gear (replacement cost up to policy limits)
  • Trailer (if applicable)
  • Legal liability in the event of an accident

Premiums are based on your experience, the value of your motorcycle, and optional extras. Let WVI Trail help you ride with confidence and coverage that counts.

Snowmobile and ATV Insurance – Coverage for the Backcountry

If you love BC’s wilderness, your snowmobile or ATV deserves coverage that’s as adventurous as you are. Whether you’re tearing up a winter trail or cruising private land, third-party liability insurance is mandatory on forest service roads—and always a smart move elsewhere.

At WVI Trail, we offer:

  • Comprehensive ATV & snowmobile insurance
  • Own damage protection
  • Discounts for safe drivers and recognized club members

Ask us how to protect your recreational vehicle and your financial future from the risks of off-road travel.
