Disability Discount
How to apply for a Disability Discount
The first step in getting the Autoplan Disability
Discount is to get a Motor Fuel Tax Act registration number. Contact the
Ministry of Small Business and Revenue and apply for a fuel tax rebate.
When your application is approved, you will receive a Motor Fuel
Tax Act registration number. When you visit your
Autoplan
broker to apply for the Disability Discount, be sure to take
this number, along with your Owner's Certificate of Insurance [click
for definition] and Vehicle Licence.

Retroactive application of the Disability
Discount
If you have been disabled and owned or leased
a vehicle for some time, you may ask to have the Disability Discount
applied retroactively. To apply, give your Autoplan
broker a letter from the Ministry of Small Business and Revenue that includes
your Motor Fuel Tax Act registration number and the date you were first
eligible to get the fuel tax rebate.
ICBC will then adjust your premiums and
send you a refund for the backdated Disability Discount.
