The B.C. government says about $600 million  in rebates from ICBC will be mailed out in just over a month.

Premier John Horgan says the savings were between April and September of 2020, which came from fewer crashes and fewer claims in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Horgan says each rebate will be $190 on average.

Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth, the minister responsible for ICBC, says people who cancelled their insurance between part of April 1 and Sept. 30 will get a partial rebate. He says rebates will be on each ICBC policy, meaning someone with multiple vehicles insured would get multiple rebates.

“Exceptions include customers with short-term, storage or distance-based policies, whose premiums already reflect lower usage,” the government says in a statement.

Farnworth reiterated $190 is the average rebate; he says essentially all drivers will get a rebate cheque in the mail between $25 and $400. He says most drivers, 80 per cent, will get a rebate between $50 and $300 per policy.

More to come.
