Manitoba Public Insurance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation (MPI or MPIC) is a non-profit Crown corporation based in Manitoba that has provided basic automobile coverage since 1971. It is commonly known as Manitoba Public Insurance.
MPIC has 22 claim centres, two customer service centres in 13 locations across Manitoba, and ten Driver and Vehicle Licensing (DVL) outlets. DVL services are also available through 147 agents in 123 communities, including 100 photo licencing agencies, and mobile testing units that service 69 communities. Over 1,600 people are employed by MPIC.
The drive insurance component of MPIC is known more informally as Autopac. This is because as a Manitoba resident citizens have no other right to any other vehicle insurance and therefore are automatically covered by MPI for a fee making them a monopoly.
MPIC partners with more than 300 independent insurance brokers in Manitoba.
The head office of the company is Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
