An Important Message Regarding COVID-19
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING COVID-19
As the pandemic continues to change, we would like to share Megson FitzPatrick’s plans on how we will continue to serve our clients while adhering to our social responsibilities of reducing the level of social interactions in our three locations.
Walk-in traffic
While our offices are no longer open to the general public, and in-person meetings have been temporarily delayed. We remain open for business, as serving our clients is our number one priority. For now, we would ask that whenever possible, all business be conducted over the phone, by email, or via video conferencing. We have taken these steps to reduce the risk to our clients and our team.
ICBC Transactions
To submit your information online, please complete the ICBC Request form on our website.
We can process several transactions over the phone and via email during this time.
- Renewals
- Policy Changes
- Cancellations
- Storage Policies
- Temporary Operating Permits
- New Plate Policies
- Transfers
- Estate Transfers
- Out of Province Transfers
For any other auto insurance needs, please call* 250.595.5212 (option #6) or email [email protected] to discuss your request with an insurance advisor. When phoning, please be sure to have your driver’s license and insurance documents ready.
During this time, policy documents and signatures will be accepted via email. Any required decals will be mailed to you once the transaction is complete.
*Please note that call wait-times have been longer than anticipated, the quickest way to submit your information is through the online form on our website.

Service-level Delays
Since the COVID-19 pandemic is a global event, service levels throughout our industry are being challenged. In some cases, it may take longer to handle change requests or request different coverage options. We will continue to work with our insurance company partners to minimize the impact of this slowdown.
We’re a Phone Call or email Away
For any changes to your policies, including making payment, requesting a quote, submitting a claim, or if you have questions, please give our main line a call at 250.595.5212 or send us an email at [email protected].
Telecommunication Challenges & Tips
While we are available for phone and email transactions, it is also important to note that network carriers have seen higher than expected call volumes. If you phone and receive the message that our number is not in service, please try phoning again. If at all possible, try to save calls for lower demand times. Carriers have indicated that between 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. are the busiest times.
Payments
Our goal is to provide you with as much flexibility as possible when it comes to paying your premiums. Please visit our website at Payments for all of your payment options. Please note, while we offer several methods in which to make your payment; payments by cash or debit card are temporarily unavailable.
