I find that in Alberta I can insure all three vehicles that I had for the same cost as two of them in BC. When I last lived in the South Okanagan, my 2006 Rav 4 was about 1800 a year, when we tucked in our tails and came across the mountains, it cost about $1200. At the time I was a mid 30's driver with 15 years of clean driving and my wife had an unblemished record. So I think we rated near the top of the grid for discounts.

But when I first moved from BC to Alberta as a 24 year old male, I had a 40% discount on my ICBC insurance..and was paying about $150 a month to insure a brand new X-Terra. When I looked into Alberta insurance it was going to be well over $300 a month. But the day I turned 25, that dropped to about $175 and eventually did get cheaper.

The rates in BC do vary a bit by region IIRC. The cost of insuring a car in the Okanagan differs from the lower mainland which differs from the Kootenays, or the Island.
