Short answer: ICBC says Autoplan applies during temporary trips throughout Canada and the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, but optional cover and relocation rules differ.
Published cover by policy tier
This table summarises the insurer’s published information for the selected country; it is not a personalised insurance quote or a confirmation that your own cover is active.
| Insurer tier | Published overseas cover | Travel-day limit |
|---|---|---|
| Autoplan Basic | Liability confirmed; other benefits unverified | Confirm policy booklet |
Does the number of days matter?
Where the insurer sets a policy-year total, count days across previous visits, not just the current trip. Where the insurer provides a per-trip ceiling, that restriction applies alongside any annual cap. If the published overview does not define how days are counted, ask for written clarification before relying on the figure.
Proof of insurance and other gaps
The insurer’s own certificate and current policy wording govern the insured vehicle, named drivers, destination, extensions and exclusions. Confirm legal proof-of-insurance requirements at your destination. Breakdown assistance, recovery costs, transit insurance, rental-car cover and local registration can be separate from ordinary motor-insurance cover.
