Living a metre above sea level behind a dyke system changes the insurance conversation. Richmond property owners deal with flood mapping, building elevation and overland water coverage as routine matters rather than exotic ones, and a broker who knows the local mapping is worth more than a rate quote.
The other half of the trade is Autoplan. Brokers sit in almost every plaza: Blundell Centre, Seafair, Ironwood, Terra Nova Village, Steveston and along the No. 3 Road corridor: handling vehicle registration and renewals alongside home, tenant, strata, travel and small-business policies. Several keep extended and weekend hours for renewal deadlines. Listings note hours, neighbourhood and whether Autoplan is handled on site.
Long-standing City Centre brokerage on Ackroyd Road offering Autoplan, homeowner and tenant, commercial and travel insurance, with Cantonese and Mandarin service. Convenient if you are already downtown Richmond for errands or catching the Canada Line.

Richmond head office of a small B.C. brokerage group writing auto, home, commercial, marine, travel and farm insurance. The marine side is the locally interesting bit - useful if you keep a boat at Steveston or moored somewhere along the Fraser.

Independent Richmond insurance brokerage on Westminster Highway near No. 3 Road, handling ICBC Autoplan, private auto, home and commercial policies. Small enough that you deal with the same broker each renewal rather than a rotating call centre queue.

Guides and roundups written for Richmond, with the businesses linked inline.
Nothing on Alexandra Road is a hidden gem. It is just in a strip mall with bad signage and no patio, which is why visitors never find it. Here is how I actually use Richmond's plazas and food courts, which specialists are worth the drive, and when not to bother.
The West Dyke Trail is about five and a half kilometres of flat gravel between Terra Nova Rural Park and Garry Point, and I ride it most mornings. Here is what is actually at the north end, which way to walk so the wind is on your side, and why winter is the better season for it.
I live four blocks off Moncton Street, so this is the Steveston I actually use: where to park before the Bayview lots fill, how to buy fish straight off the boats at the wharf, the honest answer to the Pajo's versus Dave's question, and why the history here is not decoration.
