The Collector Vehicle Program (or CVP) is an MPI insurance product and specialized license plate, modeled on pleasure use and seasonal driving, for owners of collector vehicles, including motorcycles.

It recognizes the care taken to maintain these special vehicles and the limited time spent on the road. It also provides year round insurance coverage, without needing to switch to layup, at a reduced premium approximately 55% of the ANNUAL Basic Pleasure rate. Lastly, it provides more convenience and better protection for collector vehicle owners.

MAAC is proud to play an important part in this program by acting as vehicle qualification analysts.

The CVP is available to owners whose vehicle(s) are:

• passenger vehicles, motorcycles, and light trucks (gross vehicle weight of 4,540 kgs or less),
• used for Pleasure use only under Basic Autopac,
• at least 25 years old,
• maintained at a value of at least $5,000 or over $4,000 for motorcycles.

With the CVP, owners of eligible cars and light trucks have choices of how their insurance can work. In some cases, purchasing a combination of Lay-up and Basic Autopac may result in less expensive premiums, although Lay-up does not provide all-perils coverage.

You can obtain an estimate for your vehicle’s rates under the CVP using the online MPI Insurance Rate Calculator and choosing ‘Collector’ from the list of available insurance choices.

*** Special Vehicle Qualification Is Required ***

This eligibility criteria is verified through the qualification process for passenger vehicles and light trucks; owners of motorcycles already self-declare the value, therefore the qualification process is not required for motorcycles.

Because of our close working relationship with MPI, and because we’re recognized as the voice of the collector vehicle hobby in Manitoba, MAAC has been selected to assist with the CVP by qualifying vehicles on behalf of MPI.

Once you have filled out the CVP qualification form, you can contact your nearest MAAC Qualifier listed below to arrange an appointment.

There is no charge for this qualification.

At the appointment, you will be required to bring your vehicle and the completed 2 page qualification form to the qualifier for review. If your vehicle meets the minimum age and value, the MAAC Qualifier will approve and stamp your qualification form.

You will then take your approved qualification form to your local MPI broker to join the program and apply for the special retro yellow license plate. Personalized plates can be ordered and will not have to begin with ‘CL’. Those with existing personalized plates can transfer their slogan to the new collector plate for the normal plate replacement fee.
