Frequently Asked Questions
Is aftermarket equipment covered?
Yes, aftermarket equipment will be covered if the extra equipment is attached to the insured vehicle and the value of that equipment was included in the insurance limit purchased. We recommend that you keep receipts for the original purchase and take photos of the added equipment.
What happens in the case of a total loss?
The motorcycle is insured for Agreed Value. Agreed Value is the amount shown on your policy for your motorcycle. In the event of a total loss, you will receive the amount shown on the policy. No deductions will be taken for depreciation and no deductible will be charged. For example, if your motorcycle is insured for $12,000 and is a total loss, you will receive $12,000 if your intention is to purchase a replacement motorcycle.
Does this program provide Third-Party Liability coverage?
No. Third-party liability for a motorcycle must be purchased through ICBC Autoplan, at a CapriCMW office or any Autoplan Broker. To operate a motorcycle on a road or highway without third-party liability is a serious offence. In addition to fines, if you are at fault in an accident you could be held personally liable for third-party bodily injury or property damage.
