Manitoba Public Insurance has requested a 2.07-percent increase to basic rates for the 2026/27 insurance year.
The Crown corporation announced it filed its general rate application, and is asking for approval from the Public Utilities Board.
If the hike is approved, Manitobans would see an annual increase of $21 for the average private passenger vehicle policy, which comes to about $1.75 a month.
M.P.I. added it’s also applying to the P.U.B. to expand its Driver Safety Rating scale to include a level 20. If approved, level 20 drivers would save 53-percent of the cost of their automobile and driver insurance.
