Private Optional Insurance


While you do have to get your Basic Insurance from ICBC in British Columbia, you do have a choice when it comes to purchasing optional auto insurance coverages. Although option auto insurance coverages may be purchased from ICBC, a number of insurance companies in British Columbia also offer optional auto insurance coverage (sometimes referred to as ‘private auto insurance’).

Sussex Insurance has its own exclusive brand of optional auto insurance, Swerve, underwritten by Canadian Direct Insurance Inc. Please visit one of our participating Sussex Insurance locations and speak to an agent about your options for auto insurance coverage and get a quote to discover which option is bets for you.

* All coverages are subject to limitations and exclusions. Please speak to a licensed insurance agent, read the policy wordings and the certificate of insurance for definitions, limitations and exclusions.
