Person-to-person ride rental service hoping to expand to Manitoba
The app is active in Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, making Manitoba one of just two provinces without approval.
There are many benefits to the service as people’s vehicles aren’t in use 95 per cent of the time, according to vice-president Cedric Mathieu.“So our vision is to put them to better use and create a future where there are fewer cars on the road but accessed by more people.” The company is currently in negotiations with Manitoba Public Insurance on what it would take to get regulatory approval in the province.All the cars undergo a safety inspection before they hit the app but insurance is the main challenge.
“In order for a vehicle owner to rent their vehicle to others in Manitoba, they would be required to purchase Basic U-Drive insurance through Manitoba Public Insurance ,” said an MPI spokesperson.
