Commercial Auto Insurance in Manitoba: MPI & SRE

Business vehicles in Manitoba start with the provincial Autopac framework. MPI's Special Risk Extension program adds specialized commercial protection for vehicle classes and risks that need different coverage.

Requirement ≠ private policy. WCB, MPI, professional regulation, contracts and private commercial insurance are separate layers. Check the rule and the policy that actually apply to the business.

Vehicle class and operating use drive the coverage path

Weight, operating radius, whether passengers or goods are carried for compensation and fleet structure can affect whether Basic Autopac is enough or SRE coverage is needed.

SRE can provide primary or extension coverage

MPI lists commercial classes that can obtain physical-damage protection, higher insured values, different deductibles, increased liability or other customized coverage through SRE.

Downtime is a separate business exposure

A revenue-producing vehicle can create replacement-transportation costs when it is unavailable. Commercial Loss of Use can address some of that expense under its policy terms, while broader lost income may require business-interruption analysis.
