- Most shopping areas have at least one Autoplan broker within walking distance
- Major brokers include BCAA, Westland Insurance, HUB International, and Waypoint Insurance
- Many brokers offer evening and Saturday hours for convenience

Tips for Vancouver buyers & sellers
- Vancouver Police Department safe exchange zones are available at VPD district offices
- Public meeting options include Oakridge Centre parking, Metrotown, and downtown parkades with 24/7 surveillance
- Watch for rust on vehicles coming from the North Shore or North Vancouver — coastal salt air accelerates corrosion

- Many Vancouver residents buy vehicles in Alberta to save on tax, but you must pay BC PST when you register it here
Provincial requirements (British Columbia)
BC requires a vehicle inspection for out-of-province vehicles and a Transfer/Tax Form (APV9T). PST of 12% applies to private vehicle sales based on purchase price or average wholesale value — whichever is greater. PST rates escalate for luxury vehicles over $125,000.
