BC Auto Financing Facts
What BC Customers Say
"Moved to Surrey from Ontario with no BC credit history. ConsumerAuto got me approved in one day. The whole process was done online — never had to leave my apartment."
"Kelowna winters are brutal and I needed AWD. Bad credit from a rough few years but ConsumerAuto found me a great Subaru Outback at a payment I could actually afford."
"Living on Vancouver Island, I thought my options were limited. ConsumerAuto delivered my car right to my door in Victoria. Incredible service, 5 stars."
How to Get a Car Loan in British Columbia
BC's process involves ICBC for insurance and registration, plus PST on vehicle purchases. Here's exactly what to expect when financing a vehicle in BC.
Submit Your Application
Fill out our 2-minute online form. No hard credit pull at this stage — just basic info about your income, employment, and the type of vehicle you need.
Get Matched to a BC Dealer
We match you with the best dealer in your area (Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Kelowna, Victoria, Kamloops, etc.) based on your credit profile. Most matches happen within a few hours.
Choose Your Vehicle
Work directly with the dealer to select a vehicle. BC charges 12% total tax on dealer sales (7% PST + 5% GST). Budget for this when planning your purchase.
Arrange ICBC Insurance
BC uses ICBC (Insurance Corporation of BC) for mandatory basic Autoplan coverage. You must have ICBC insurance before driving your new vehicle. Your dealer can direct you to the nearest Autoplan broker.
Register Through ICBC
Vehicle registration in BC is handled through ICBC Autoplan brokers. Your dealer typically handles the transfer of registration. You'll receive BC licence plates and a registration certificate.
BC-Specific Requirements
- ✓ Valid BC driver's licence (or out-of-province if new to BC)
- ✓ Proof of income (pay stubs, NOA, or bank statements)
- ✓ Proof of BC address (utility bill, lease agreement)
- ✓ ICBC Autoplan insurance before taking delivery
- ✓ SIN (for credit application — not always required)
BC charges 12% total tax on dealer vehicle sales (7% PST + 5% GST). On private sales, PST is calculated on the greater of the purchase price or the vehicle's wholesale value. Budget for this in your total purchase cost.
BC's government-run ICBC provides mandatory basic Autoplan coverage. Lenders also require comprehensive and collision coverage, available as an ICBC extension or through private insurers.
Application to approval: 24–48 hours. Vehicle selection to delivery: 1–3 business days once ICBC coverage is arranged.
