What kind of insurance is mandatory for drivers in BC?

In British Columbia, the only mandatory insurance for drivers is Basic Autoplan insurance. This type of insurance covers essential aspects such as third-party liability, which protects drivers against claims from other parties if they are at fault in an accident. Additionally, it includes coverage for accident benefits, which provide support for medical expenses and rehabilitation if a driver or passenger is injured in a crash.

Basic Autoplan is designed to ensure that all drivers have a minimum level of coverage to protect themselves and others on the road, promoting safety and financial responsibility. It is important for drivers in BC to understand that while other types of insurance, like comprehensive or collision insurance, can provide additional protection, they are not legally required to drive legally in the province.
