Uber drivers in Manitoba are set to pay significantly less for their insurance coverage than taxi drivers in the central Canadian province. According to proposals from Manitoba Public Insurance, Uber contractors can expect rates that are roughly a quarter of those paid by taxi drivers, who pay about CAD10,000 a year ($7,795) for insurance coverage. Keith said taxicab drivers pay around $10,000 per year. The proposal is part of an ongoing effort by Manitoba government officials and industry representatives to improve Manitoba’s transportation system.
