What do I need to know about car insurance in Brandon, Manitoba?

When you buy car insurance, you must have a valid vehicle registration and get mandatory basic Autopac insurance from the Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation.

Western Financial Group is authorized to sell Autopac policies.

Autopac insurance includes personal injury insurance, all-perils insurance, and third-party liability insurance.

Basic third-party liability coverage insures you up to $500,000 for claims that are made against you. You can get Autopac coverage to increase your third-party liability protection to $1 million, $2 million, $5 million, $7 million or $10 million.

You can also get higher liability limits through Special Risk Extension coverage.

How are my Autopac rates determined?

  • Your vehicle
  • Where you live
  • Your driving record

5 Questions about what can affect your car insurance rate

What is the average cost of car insurance in Brandon, Manitoba?  

The average annual cost of car insurance in Brandon is approximately $1,200 per year, or about $100 a month, though this can vary quite a bit based on factors like your driving history, the age and model of your vehicle, and the coverage level you selected. We can help you compare rates from multiple car insurance providers to find the best deal.   

How can I reduce my auto insurance in Brandon, Manitoba? 

To lower your auto insurance premiums, you’ll want to maintain a clean driving record, try bundling your car insurance with your home insurance policy, increase your deductible, and install approved anti-theft devices. Some insurers also offer discounts for completing defensive driving courses. 

What is the minimum auto insurance coverage in Manitoba? 

In Manitoba, car insurance is provided through the Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI) Autopac program, which is mandatory for every registered vehicle. Basic Autoplan (the minimum coverage) includes $500,000 in third party liability coverage, which can optionally be increased. The standard deductible for MPI Basic Autopan is $750 - this is the amount you have to pay out-of-pocket before MPI covers the rest of any damages. 

Can you drive a car without insurance in Manitoba? 

No, you absolutely need insurance to drive a car in Brandon, or anywhere in Manitoba. The minimum fine for a first offense of driving without car insurance in Manitoba is a hefty $5,000, which can go up to $25,000. You might also be charged with extra court costs and surchrages, along with potential license suspension and vehicle impoundment. Make sure your insurance is up to date! 

Do you pay deductible if not at fault in a car accident in Brandon, Manitoba? 

In Manitoba, if you are found 100% not at fault for the accident, you typically don't have to pay the deductible, or it'll be refunded. Sometimes you may need to pay a deductible to quickly get your vehicle repaired while it's still unclear who was at fault in the accident. If MPI determines that the other driver was at fault, they will waive or fully refund your deductible and cover the cost of your repairs. 

What do I need to know about home insurance in Brandon, Manitoba?

Home insurance is not mandatory in Manitoba, but if you have a mortgage your lender will likely require you to have an insurance policy.

Home insurance helps you protect against:

  • Theft
  • Fire
  • Third- party “slip and fall” accidents
  • Vandalism

Without home insurance, you’ll be responsible for paying out of pocket for damages to your home and detached structures like your shed or garage.

Home insurance also covers your personal belongings and helps protect you should someone get injured at your home.

You’ll be protected and have peace of mind with home insurance in Brandon.

Did you know that your home insurance policy does not cover damages or accidents that happen due to you running your business at your Brandon home?

Being a long time customer at Western Financial Group Inc. I wish to give credit where it is due and wish to honour both Dallas and his trainee Dannie for the terrific caring and knowledgeable service they gave me today regarding my appointment with them both. They both exemplified what all Super Businesses show to their customers: "Smiling faces and when they ask: "How may we help you" They do their job and take care of our concerns as if we were FAMILY. I appreciated that very much and that is why I have been with previously Barker's Insurance and now Western Financial for over 40 years. Your entire staff truly know what a customer means to their business and it shows how we are treated. Thank you again Dallas and Dannie for your excellent work today. I do hope your management team pass this note on to you as YOU and YOUR TEAM at WESTERN FINANCIAL GROUP are NUMBER ONE !!
