Before you Move…
Please check the vehicle registration and insurance rules in the province, territory or state where you are moving. You may need to register and insure your vehicle shortly after you arrive, sometimes even a few weeks or less. Remember it is your responsibility to ensure that you are correctly insured. You can find the contact information for each province below.
While still in force your Autopac includes all perils, third party liability and Personal Injury Protection Plan coverage. Your Autopac coverage ends when:
- The place you have moved to requires you to register your vehicle
- You register your vehicle in your new location
- Your Autopac expires or you are suspended for not making payment on time
- You cancel your insurance.
Once you leave Manitoba your personal Injury Protection Plan coverage only applies if you are injured while driving or riding your Manitoba plated vehicle.
Your new insurer may require written record of your claims history in Manitoba. Manitoba Public Insurance will provide you with a Claims Experience Letter for a $15 fee. In Winnipeg call 985-7000; outside Winnipeg call toll free 1-800-665-2410. MPI will accept Visa or Mastercard for requests over the phone and the Claims Experience Letter will be mailed to you once payment is received.
After registering your vehicle in your new location, send a photocopy of your new vehicle registration to: Manitoba Public Insurance, Box 6300 Winnipeg, MB, R3C 4A4. Please include a letter with your return address and your signature authorizing MPI to cancel your insurance. You can also fax this information to (204)985-7840. Unless you cancel your insurance you will not receive a refund for unused premium and you may continue to make payments, even though MPI may not respond to any claims you may have.
