NOTE:
Correction on ICBC Collector Multi-Vehicle
License and Certificate of Insurance
Dear valued customer,
We
are writing to inform you of an internal system
error that resulted in a lower premium for the
last several years for storage coverage on your
Collector Multi-Vehicle License and
Certificate of Insurance.
The
Collector Multi-Vehicle License and
Certificate of Insurance,
provides on-highway and storage coverage for
multiple vehicles on one policy, and the premium
calculation for storage coverage for this
product is intended to factor in the number of
vehicles included since all vehicles are covered
for storage losses, not just the vehicle with
the licence plate attached to it. Due to the
internal system error, when you purchased this
policy the premium was calculated based on only
one vehicle.
There is no action for you to take, and ICBC
will not be billing retroactively.
However, the system error has now been fixed,
and on your next policy renewal premiums will be
higher, as it now reflects the appropriate rate
for all of your vehicles protected by the
policy.
We
appreciate your patience and regret any
inconvenience this may cause.
Sincerely,
Insurance
Corporation of B.C.
