Manitoba Public Insurance says a new program it launched will make it easier for Winnipeggers needing a tow after a collision.
MPI announced on Friday its new Trusted Tow program began in the city on June 30.
MPI says it has chosen five tow-truck services — instead of a single vendor like it did previously — that Winnipeggers can choose from either by calling the insurer or going directly to the company itself. The Crown corporation has already contracted towing companies for its rural Brandon customers.
“This new diversified towing model will significantly benefit Manitoba-based business by supporting the province’s repair trade industry,” MPI’s vice-president and chief claims officer John Bowering said in a statement.
“We appreciate how difficult it can be to not have your vehicle after a collision. The aim of Trusted Tow is to increase efficiency, so vehicles are getting back to their owners faster.”
The tow companies chosen in Winnipeg are Champion Towing, Bison Towing, Sprinter Towing, Hi-Way Towing, and Dr. Hook Towing.
