Manitoba Motorist Insurance Rates To Rise 30 Percent
Manitoba drivers with private insurer renewals in the next three months face a 30 percent premium hike this year. The Canadian Underwriters Association set February 1 as the start date, affecting about 30 percent of province’s auto insurance volume. Motorists renewing between February 1 and May 1, 1970, avoided the rise then but now face two years of increases. M. J. Parsons of the Manitoba Insurance Agents Association warns the move could split the united front against the government auto insurance plan and may push agents to shift renewal business to independents. Parsons also sent telegrams to urge action across provinces including British Columbia.
