Best Answer

You are not required to purchase additional auto insurance coverage when driving your personal use BC registered vehicle into the United States. ICBC will provided the coverage stated in your insurance contract provided you are complying with the laws of that state. However, most insurance brokers will recommend increasing your third party liability limit to the $5,000,000 maximum as claim amounts tend to be higher in the United States and the claim amount paid will be in Canadian dollars, so the exchange rate is a factor in the total amount available for claim payments.

Can anyone buy car insurance for another person and their car?

In the USA you can get temporary car insurance for your friend's car at a local insurance company. Some offer daily car insurance, temporary cover for cars and short car insurance. These insurance covers are granted when you have a new car, test driving, when using someone else's car and when selling cars. Also your friend should be willing to send you the title and allow you to register the car in your name, however do list both addresses and do schedule the owner as an insured too. That is as the policy may need to match the registration name as any compensation will only be payable to them.
