Driving a <strong>VEMA</strong> <strong>Vehicle</strong><br />

7. Arrange to have your vehicle repaired<br />
Although you have the option to take your vehicle to any accredited Autopac<br />
repair facility, we recommend drivers in the Winnipeg area come to <strong>VEMA</strong> for a<br />
number of reasons:<br />
• We offer a courtesy vehicle when you bring your vehicle to the <strong>VEMA</strong><br />
Repair Facility for service <strong>and</strong> we’ll supply you with a FuelCard for fuel<br />
purchases. We’ll continue to bill you rent for your assigned vehicle, <strong>and</strong><br />
only charge you a variable rate for your courtesy vehicle.<br />
• We are an accredited Autopac repair facility.<br />
• We perform the required repairs <strong>and</strong> enter the information into Keys<br />
for accident management purposes.<br />
Please report all accidents. Those that look minor may have hidden damage <strong>and</strong><br />
could be costly to repair. Paying the deductible may be warranted.<br />
Please do not attempt to fi x the damage yourself. We fi nd that this often makes the<br />
damage worse <strong>and</strong> will end up costing more in repairs.<br />
Do not admit liability in any circumstance.<br />
If you choose to rent a replacement vehicle, or use a courtesy vehicle from another<br />
repair facility, please do not use the <strong>VEMA</strong> FuelCard for fuel purchases.<br />

Driver Liability<br />
<strong>VEMA</strong> does not have any policies relating to a driver’s liability. It is up to each<br />
individual organization to determine whether or not costs resulting from an accident<br />
are recovered from the driver.<br />
Manitoba Government employees involved in an accident during personal driving,<br />
for which they are deemed responsible by MPI, may be assessed a fee to offset the<br />
cost of the deductible expense. Manitoba Government employees can also be held<br />
responsible for damages resulting from misuse or abuse of <strong>VEMA</strong> vehicles.<br />
Non-provincial customers may set penalties that vary. Contact your supervisor or<br />
designated <strong>Vehicle</strong> Coordinator for the details of your organization’s policy.
