Most Vancouver drivers should consider full coverage, especially with the city’s notorious winter rainfall making the roads slippery. Beyond basic liability, full coverage adds comprehensive insurance (for theft, vandalism, and that surprise tree branch from a windstorm) and collision protection (for when that distracted tourist sideswiped you near Esther Short Park).
Full-coverage prices average $179 per month in Vancouver, according to our data. If you shop around and read reviews, you’ll find some insurance locations that offer full-coverage policies for nearly the same price as the city’s average liability-only coverage. And if you’re financing or leasing your vehicle, your lender will require full coverage, anyway.
Check out these top five insurers offering the most wallet-friendly full-coverage policies in Vancouver, according to Compare.com data.

Washington state, like nearly every other state, requires all drivers to have car insurance, but not just any coverage will do. You need specific policy types and coverage limits to legally drive in the state.
At a minimum, Washington drivers need coverage that includes:
$25,000 for bodily injury liability coverage per person
$50,000 for bodily injury liability coverage per accident
$10,000 for property damage liability coverage[5]
Though state law doesn’t require it, you can also add personal injury protection. The state picks up the tab for medical expenses, lost wages, and other costs if you or your passengers suffer injuries due to an accident.[6]
State-minimum coverage keeps you legal, but it can leave your finances vulnerable. If you choose to finance or lease your car, your lender will also require comprehensive and collision coverage regardless of state law. The Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner suggests buying more than bare-bones coverage to protect yourself.
