PREMIUMS

_WHAT'S NEW?

Auto insurance premiums for 1990 have been increased by - mo more than six per cent for two-thirds of B.C.’s claim-free motorists as a result of changes to Autoplan for 1990; In dollar terms, this means variations

of about $15 to increases of

around $60 for these motorists. Changes include major

adjustments to rating territories,

increased “No-Fault” Accident Benefits and the annual “aging”

of some vehicles. The impact of 1990 claims cost increases is also a factor,

These changes and increased claims costs mean that ICBC will need an estimated 4,8 per cent more money in 1990 than in 1989,

Otherclaim-free motorists, such as those who have their vehicles rated for pleasure use only or who live in some of the newly defined rating territories, will see their premiums rise seven to thirteen per cent.

Premiums for Compulsory and Extended Third Party Legal Liability coverages combined have been increased by six per cent for new and renewal policies as of January 1, 1990. Underinsured Motorist Protection and Comprehensive coverage also rise by six per cent, Premiums for Collision and Specified Perils coverages remain unchanged.
