2 starsI recently signed up for a BCAA Premium Membership, expecting peace of mind and reliable support. Unfortunately, my experience has been anything but reassuring.When I needed a tow from a dealership to a BCAA-designated repair shop, my request was flatly denied. I escalated the matter to a manager, hoping for some understanding or at least a willingness to assist, but I was met with the same rigid response. Neither the agents nor the managers showed any kindness or empathy in their voices. Instead, they hid behind their terms and conditions like a shield, with no flexibility, no desire to support, and certainly no effort to make exceptions in a genuine time of ******* a new customer, this was a terrible first impression. I signed up for the premium level of coverage for added security, but what I got was a cold, mechanical experience where policy mattered more than customer care. If youre looking for a company that values compassion and service as much as rules, BCAA is not it.Review fromMarcia A

4 starsI was in the process of a home insurance claim for a very important stolen medical item. All those who had helped me were great and professional. Today I spoke to one claims adjuster who told me that instead of 10 days for an adjuster to review a claim, it was 2-3 weeks. She said I should follow up next week and that if I needed a new medical devices I could go buy one and it would be reimbursed. I very frustrated by this individual and explained that the whole point of the insurance claim was because I did not have $3000 extra to purchase a replacement for my stolen medical device. I called ********************** back to ensure they had received the quote for my medical device as it had not reached them in my original set of emails and was the outstanding document from August 29. I spoke with ****** ****** this afternoon who was absolutely wonderful and within a few minutes had helped me to process my claim, reminding me that I was a long time BCAA member and the device was a needed medical device. I really appreciate employees like ****** who look outside the box and help customers to meet their needs. ****** was polite and efficient and helpful, especially when I explained I was frustrated by being told to go buy a new device with money I did not yet have. I highly recommend anyone who needs help to seek out ****** for their concerns!B C A A

1 starAs a 50 year member, I expect decent response. My car wouldn't run and I needed a tow, from Downtown ********* to the dealership. I called at 429 pm and was told the tow truck would be 30 to 40 minutes. After that time I got a text saying the arrival would be 610 pm (100 minutes). I tried to track the arrival in their system but it said there was nothing scheduled. I called and somehow got a human who said she would call the driver. Nobody answered her call. At 610 no truck and no update. I called again and finally got a dispatcher who promised a 20 minute arrival. Eventually the driver showed up at 712 ?Over 2 1/2 hours for a very accessible location!I would suggest avoid BCAA membership.B C A A

Someone from our ************************ team will be reaching out shortly to connect with you and address your concerns.

5 starsWe received amazing rescue services from BCAA Road Assistance and their contractor, **** ******* of Tri Peak Towing, out of *********. Without the assistance we received after our car broke down on the side of the dangerous Highway 3 (July 6/25)on way from ******* to ********* , we would still be stuck there. Out of the 100s of vehicles who passed our obvious Hazard Lights and Open Hood, including the three RCMP Vehicles that never gave us a second glance, two gentlemen did kindly stop to offer assistance. However, by that time we had Mr ******* already on his rescue mission. He loaded our vehicle and drove us through heavy traffic all the way home to *********, helped us unload everything and then had to drive all the way back to *********. He likely did not arrive back home until at least 5 or 6 am the next day. Not many would have undertaken this very arduous job through heavy weekend traffic and worked all through the night like that. We are very thankful to both BCAA and **** *******, Tri Peak Towing!B C A A

1 starIve been a BCAA roadside assistance member since 2022 and had never needed to use their servicesuntil today, when I called to inquire about travel insurance options for a family member. Unfortunately, the customer ********************** experience was very disappointing.I asked a straightforward question about how it works if I want to purchase insurance in advance, with the coverage starting a week after arrival. The agent initially gave me unclear and confusing information, saying the policy takes two days to become active but couldn't confirm from which date the countdown starts. Then I was placed on hold for over 30 minutes. When the agent finally returned, they simply told me that I cannot purchase insurance in advance and that once my visitor is in ******, I would need to call againand even then, they would decide at their discretion whether or not to sell the insurance.That kind of vague and unprofessional response left me with serious concerns. If this is how I'm treated before even using the service, I can't imagine what would happen in an actual emergency. *** decided to cancel my subscription, as I no longer feel confident or comfortable trusting BCAA with my money or peace of mind.B C A A

We're very sorry to hear about the frustration and confusion you encountered when seeking information about travel insurancethis is not the level of service we aim to provide. We will have a member of our ************************ reach out to you directly to better understand what happened and to address your concerns.Review fromD. T.

1 starI'm in **********. I found that the agent who served me for Auto Insurance was not looking out for my interests or trying to save me money. My insurance is almost triple from what I was paying before. Yes, I'm from out of the province where insurance is generally lower, but I have been a driver since 1979 with no accidents. You would think that they could have gone to bat for me and get me the best deal possible but I was dinged for stupid things and the bill added up very quickly. I'm not sure if this was because of this one agent or this organization is now all about the money and customer satisfaction and ********************** are down on their list of priorities. Next year I will go elsewhere when I renew and want the extra coverage without the "money grabbing" incidentals I have never heard of anywhere else. My previous brokers protected me from being gouged. Also, I was an AAA and *** member in previous years but I will not be getting a BCAA membership after this experience.B C A A

Hi *******,Thank you for your feedback were truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially with something as important as auto insurance. We understand your frustration regarding the premium, and we empathize with how disappointing it must be to feel unsupported. As a broker in ****************, we are required to sell ICBC insurance, which applies a surcharge for the first three years to new residents moving from out of province, regardless of driving history. We always aim to provide the best service possible, and we regret that you did not feel that was reflected during your visit.D. T.

RE: The **** my question would be, is the money from auto insurance used by the government for any other purposes? And if so, what are those purposes? In other words, is public insurance a hidden form of taxation lacking transparnecy? The private insurance companies, possibly including BCAA, are simply a self-serving buisiness far more than a public service.Review fromColin C

1 starl Was on hold for 18 mins, was told my call would be answered in 3 minutes - 2 minutes in they drop my call - after 18 minutes of telling me how important my call was to them. Really is this the best you can doB C A A

5 starsI have held BCAA house insurance for over two decades, and they have always provided me with exceptional service whenever I needed it. Any claim was handled immediately and professionally. I always go to them for auto insurance and travel insurance as well because their staff are so warm and friendly when I go to their service location in *******, **. It is also great to get insurance from a company that was founded in ** as I prefer to support the local economy when I can! ** ******B C A A
