I hope Mr Printer doesn't mind me relaying his news that by switching the comprehensive part of his truck insurance from ICBC to Canadian Direct, he's reduced his truck premium by $1,000 to a more sane (normal) level.

I only had the bare minimum with ICBC and it was the problem, rates were sky high.

Same coverage and same car is Alberta with State Farm was 102 per month.

BIG MISTAKE!
I am now in the process of checking out costs for my sons too as there seems to be significant savings to be made particularly on the "comprehensive" bit.
