Coverage Details
Commercial auto insurance is similar to personal auto insurance. You can expect your commercial auto insurance policy to cover:
Your vehicle
Liability claims that occur as a result of legally operating a vehicle
Vehicle coverage protects your vehicle if it gets damaged, stolen, or vandalized.
Liability insurance protects you if a vehicle you are legally driving with permission injures someone or damages someone’s property, and you are found liable.
The coverages under commercial auto insurance help protect business owners and operators of vehicles that cannot be covered under traditional Autopac policies.
Personal Vs. Commercial Auto Insurance
Most vehicles are covered under personal auto insurance policies—even vehicles used for business are commonly covered under personal auto insurance plans. The insurance policies Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) offers for personal vehicles are known as Autopac policies.
Commercial auto insurance exists to protect vehicles that have special risks. Commercial insurance policies are handled by Autopac or by MPI’s Special Risk Extension (SRE) program. Vehicles that may need commercial insurance include:
Large trucks—those with a gross vehicle weight over 4500 kg
Common carrier buses
Commercial trucks with a gross vehicle weight above 11,974 that operate beyond a 161 km radius outside of Manitoba
Semi-trailers
Fire department vehicles
Fleet vehicles
Passenger vehicles for hire (Uber, taxis, etc.)
Ambulances
Police vehicles
Hearses and limos—funeral and wedding vehicles
Courier and messenger vehicles
Common carriers operating within 161 km outside of Manitoba
And more
To understand whether or not your vehicle needs to be insured by a commercial auto insurance policy, it’s best to speak with a business broker. They can help you find the best policy for your vehicle and help you determine whether or not some or all of your insurance needs to be covered by MPI’s SRE coverage.
The cost of commercial auto insurance coverage varies substantially depending on the type of vehicle you’re driving and its usage. To determine the cost of commercial auto insurance, it’s important to speak to an insurance broker.
Your broker can help you find the right coverage for your vehicle. With commercial insurance, you can modify the amount of third-party liability insurance, vehicle insurance, personal property insurance, and cargo insurance available to you.
