About Us

We rent cars to Manitobans from two locations in Winnipeg, with free pickup from the airport. Every rental has MPI Rental Vehicle Insurance arranged for you, so you do not need a policy of your own. Your daily kilometre allowance is shown before you book. We are part of Autospektr Ltd., alongside the dealership and the service shop.

How we got here

Autospektr started in 2019 in Winnipeg. The rental side grew out of the dealership: people kept asking to borrow a car while theirs was being worked on, so we built a fleet for it. Today Autospektr Ltd. covers three things, buying a car, servicing one, and renting one, and the rental fleet runs from our Logan Avenue and Matheson Parkway locations.

We are a client business of SEED Winnipeg, a non-profit that helps local businesses get started and grow, and a member of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

Common questions

Do I need my own insurance to rent from you?

No. We are MPI approved and arrange MPI Rental Vehicle Insurance for every rental, so you do not need a policy of your own. It is itemised on your booking, along with the MPI processing fee.

How old do I have to be to rent a car?

You must be at least 18. That is lower than most national rental chains, which usually require 21 or 25 or add a young driver surcharge.

How many kilometres are included?

Your daily kilometre allowance is shown on your booking before you confirm it. Higher mileage tiers, including unlimited mileage, are available as paid upgrades.

Can you deliver the car to me?

Yes. We offer vehicle delivery within Winnipeg and to locations outside the city. The delivery fee depends on the distance and will be shown before you confirm your booking. Please note that delivery is also subject to staff availability. As we are a small team, advance planning helps us ensure we can accommodate your requested delivery time.

What licence do I need, and do you accept out-of-province or international licences?

A valid driver's licence. It does not have to be a Manitoba one: we accept licences from other provinces and international licences too. We record the issuing province or country and the expiry date when you book, and scan the front and back of the licence.

What deposit do you take?

A security deposit is required at pick-up. If you have a valid credit card, the deposit is typically pre-authorised on the card. If you do not have a credit card, a higher cash deposit will be required instead. The deposit amount varies depending on several factors, including your age, the type of driver's licence you hold, and whether you are using a credit card for the security deposit.

What taxes and fees apply?

GST at 5% and PST at 7%, plus the MPI processing fee and MPI Rental Vehicle Insurance. Everything is itemised on your booking before you confirm.

Do you pick up from Winnipeg airport?

Yes, and pickup from Winnipeg Richardson International Airport is free of charge.

Is there a minimum rental length?

Yes. The shortest rental we take is 3 days.

When do I get my security deposit back?

Your security deposit is fully refundable within 30 days from the start of your rental, provided no charges have been incurred during your rental period. This includes traffic or parking tickets, tolls, fines, or any other penalties billed to us as the registered owner after your rental. The vehicle must also be returned with the same fuel level and in the same condition - inside and out - as when it was picked up.

Do I have to wash the car before I return it?

We ask that you return the vehicle in the same condition it was in when you picked it up. If the vehicle requires excessive cleaning or any additional work to restore its condition, the applicable charges will be deducted from your security deposit or billed separately. To avoid additional fees, please return the vehicle clean, with the same fuel level as at pick-up.
