Many drivers in Manitoba could be paying a little less for auto insurance next year.
Manitoba Public Insurance has applied to provincial regulators for an average rate decrease of 0.9%, although there are different proposals for different categories of vehicles.
The Crown corporation says it would be the fourth year in a row of rate drops, helped in part by reduced driving and fewer accidents during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Regulatory hearings are scheduled for the fall and the new rates are expected to take effect starting next April, as drivers renew their licences.
