Michigan is one of the most expensive states for car insurance, Insurify data shows. Full-coverage policies cost $211 per month, or $2,533 per year, on average the ninth-highest rate in the nation.

High state coverage requirements, severe winter weather, and a relatively high percentage of uninsured drivers all contribute to the high costs of insurance in the Great Lakes State.[1]

You’ll need to compare quotes from multiple car insurance companies to find the best deal available. Maintaining a clean driving record can also help you find lower rates.

Quick Facts
  • The average cost of full-coverage car insurance in Michigan is $211 per month, and liability-only coverage costs $135 per month.

  • Auto-Owners is the cheapest insurer in Michigan, with rates as low as $71 per month.

  • Detroit has some of the most expensive car insurance rates in the country, at $339 per month, on average.

6 of the cheapest car insurance companies in Michigan

While you have plenty of options when choosing an insurance company, you’ll want to consider your needs, budget, and risks when finding the right fit for your family. The insurer with the lowest rates might not be the best fit.

As you research, consider the type of policy you want and whether you have unique circumstances (like a spotty driving record) that could affect your rates. Start your search with the insurers in the table below.

  • Our editorial team spent more than 350 hours developing the Insurify Quality (IQ) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. The team weighted criteria by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.

    We rate each company on a 1 to 10 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. Insurify updates ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.

    • Third-party financial ratings: Insurify uses data from AM Best, S&P, Moody’s, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims.
    • Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 55,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also consider third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
    • Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the U.S., as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
    • Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer's transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
    • Availability and reach: Insurify scores availability and reach by identifying the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Michigan

Common factors that insurers consider when setting car insurance rates include a driver’s history, age, credit history, and where they live. The type of coverage you choose, like liability insurance or full coverage, will affect the cost of your policy, too.

Here are a few tips for finding the cheapest car insurance in Michigan:

  • Look for discounts. Check with auto insurance companies to see what discounts they offer. You may also find discounts through your work, local organizations (like the AARP), or safe driver programs.

  • Compare rates from multiple insurance companies. To ensure you get the best rates, compare coverage options between at least three insurance companies. Compare the cost of coverage with the amount they offer and find one that best fits your needs.

  • Opt for minimum coverage. If you own your vehicle and could afford to replace it or cover the cost of repairs in an accident, opting for liability-only coverage could save you a lot of money. You won’t have as much protection, but your premium will cost less since you’re taking on more risk.

  • Bundle multiple policies. Many insurance companies offer several types of insurance products, including auto insurance, home insurance, and renters insurance. Ask your insurer if you can bundle your policies for a discounted rate. Bundled policies often offer the best deal for households with multiple insurance products.

Low-cost car insurance in Michigan

Michigan drivers typically see some of the highest car insurance rates across the country. While the state doesn’t have a program to help low-income drivers find more affordable car insurance, if you’re looking for cheaper car insurance, you should consider comparing quotes among three to five insurers every six months to make sure you’re always getting the best deal.

Why are car insurance rates rising in Michigan?

Car insurance rates in Michigan are projected to rise by 8% by the end of 2024, according to Insurify’s latest report. Full-coverage car insurance premiums in the state increased by 4% between June 2023 and June 2024, compared to a 28% increase nationwide.

Michigan continues to be one of the most expensive states for car insurance in the country. The average driver spends 3.7% of their household income on car insurance payments, compared to the national average of 2.6%.

The Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association (MCCA), which manages the state’s catastrophic claims fund, added a recoupment fee for policyholders on July 1, 2023. This move, along with industry-wide rate hikes, means Michigan drivers will likely face even higher car insurance premiums by the end of 2024.

Nationally, Insurify projects prices to rise an additional 7% in 2024 nearly twice the average yearly increase.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance quotes in Michigan: Auto-Owners

All Michigan drivers must have at least liability-only car insurance to legally operate a vehicle in the state. Liability insurance pays for personal injury protection and property damage expenses for other drivers involved in an accident with your vehicle, but it doesn’t offer personal injury or property damage protection for you or your vehicle.

Liability-only insurance in Michigan costs $135 per month, on average.

If you’re looking for the cheapest car insurance, a liability-only policy will be less expensive than full coverage and could be a good option for your needs. If you’re worried about medical expenses, liability might not be the right choice for you.

The table below shows the cheapest liability-only insurance companies in Michigan.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance quotes in Michigan: Auto-Owners

Drivers who want more protection should opt for full-coverage car insurance. A full-coverage policy offers the state-minimum requirements for liability and additional protection for your vehicle in an accident through collision and comprehensive coverage.

Michigan drivers pay an average of $211 per month for full-coverage policies.

Full coverage is a good idea for drivers who can’t afford repairs or a replacement if their vehicle is damaged or totaled in an accident. If you lease or finance your vehicle, your leasing company or lender will require you to carry full-coverage car insurance. Full coverage will cost more, but it offers more financial protection. High-risk drivers may also consider a full-coverage policy for maximum security.

Car insurance requirements in Michigan

Michigan is a no-fault state, so insurance companies must pay out no matter who’s at fault in an accident. In addition, Michigan drivers must carry no-fault insurance. Michigan insurance companies utilize eligibility points to determine who qualifies for coverage with their company. These eligibility points aren’t the same as points the state uses on a driver’s record.[2] 

Insurance companies can decline to offer coverage if you have six or more points. The most significant point offenders are driving more than 15 miles per hour over the speed limit and second offenses on any incident or accident where you’re at fault. Michigan drivers must also carry personal injury protection (PIP) and property protection insurance.

Coverage
sort ascsort desc
Minimum Requirements
sort ascsort desc
Bodily injury liability$20,000 per person and $40,000 per accident
Property damage liability$10,000

Though not required, the following coverages can be helpful to carry if you want more thorough protection than the state minimum:

    Collision coverage

    Collision insurance covers the cost of damages to your vehicle if you collide with another car or an object like a tree, fence, or light pole. Collision also covers damages from rollover accidents or hitting a pothole.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/665da91bf7/comprehensive-coverage.svg

    Comprehensive coverage

    Comprehensive insurance provides coverage for damage to your vehicle from anything not related to a collision, such as fire, robbery, vandalism, theft, or weather.

    Mini-tort coverage

    Limited property damage liability insurance provides extra protection if you’re found 50% more at fault for a car accident and the other driver’s insurance won’t cover damages.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/100x100/24f1697280/car-key.svg

    Towing and rental car coverage

    You may opt to purchase towing and rental coverage to pay the cost of moving your vehicle and paying for a rental while your car is in the shop.

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

    An uninsured/underinsured motorist policy offers additional protection against injuries or damages from a driver without insurance or a driver with a policy that won’t cover medical expenses or car repairs. In Michigan, this coverage is optional, not required.

Cheapest car insurance companies in MI for drivers with an incident

It may be more difficult to secure cheap car insurance with incidents on your driving record. Insurance companies typically consider incidents like at-fault accidents, speeding tickets, DUIs, and other moving violations as risky behaviors.

Since insurance companies are required to pay for damages in Michigan, regardless of fault, any increased risky behavior could increase the cost of your policy. Michigan drivers could see the average cost of their policy increase significantly, depending on the type of incident.

Cheapest car insurance quotes for drivers with a speeding ticket: Auto-Owners

Speeding tickets may affect the cost of your insurance in Michigan. Michigan operates on a point system, with drivers accumulating points for certain traffic convictions.

Cheapest car insurance quotes for drivers with an at-fault accident: Auto-Owners

Drivers with at-fault accidents may accumulate points on their driving record and pay more for car insurance. Drivers with six or more violations or accumulating 12 points within two years must retake their driver’s test. But if youve had a clean driving record for three years or longer, buying accident forgiveness coverage can keep your rates stable in case you do cause an accident.

Michigan drivers with an at-fault accident on their record pay an average of $302 per month for a full-coverage policy.

Cheapest car insurance quotes for drivers with a DUI: Auto-Owners

Michigan law allows insurance companies to deny insurance coverage to drivers with a history of a DUI in the past three years. Since insurers consider drivers with a DUI conviction to be higher risk (and they may even require an SR-22 certificate), drivers should expect to pay a higher premium.

Drivers with a DUI in Michigan pay a monthly average of $163 for liability-only insurance and $255 for full-coverage insurance.

You may have fewer coverage options with a DUI on your record, but some insurers still offer affordable quotes, as you can see below.

Cheapest car insurance quotes for teens: USAA

Young drivers typically face higher insurance premiums than older drivers because insurance companies view them as more likely to file a claim. Drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 are more likely to be involved in a car accident than any other age group, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).[4]

A liability-only policy averages $212 per month for teen drivers in Michigan.

Teen drivers can secure lower insurance costs in many different ways, such as staying on their parents’ policy, obtaining a safe-driving certification, and applying for a good student discount. Teens younger than 18 wont be able to buy their own policy without written consent from a parent or guardian.

Car insurance rates across Michigan cities

While Michigan has some of the highest car insurance rates in the country, some Michigan cities may see cheaper car insurance rates than others. This is because insurance companies take your specific location into account while setting rates. Some areas may experience higher rates of theft or may have higher rates of claims, which can drive up rates in that area.

The table below shows the average cost of car insurance across several cities in Michigan.

Michigan car insurance FAQs

Finding the right car insurance can be challenging. Below, you’ll find answers to some commonly asked questions about how to find the best car insurance in Michigan.

  • How much is car insurance in Michigan?

    Car insurance in Michigan costs $173 per month, on average. Drivers in the state pay $211 per month for full-coverage insurance and $135 per month for liability coverage. Your exact rate will depend on your insurer, driving record, age, credit history, vehicle type, chosen coverage level, and more.

  • Which company has the cheapest car insurance in Michigan?

    Auto-Owners, USAA, and Chubb have the cheapest insurance in Michigan. Their liability-only rates average $71, $72, and $78 per month, respectively. But the cheapest insurer for you will depend on multiple factors, including your age, ZIP code, type of car you drive, and chosen coverage levels.

  • Why is car insurance so expensive in Michigan?

    Car insurance in Michigan is so expensive partly because it’s a no-fault state, meaning drivers must carry personal injury protection insurance to cover damages regardless of who caused a given accident. Most states don’t require this extra coverage, so Michigan drivers have to bear the burden of higher insurance premiums.

  • How much car insurance do you need in Michigan?

    Drivers in Michigan must carry $20,000 per person and $40,000 per accident in bodily injury liability insurance, as well as $10,000 in property damage liability coverage. Michigan drivers must also carry personal injury protection and property protection insurance.

  • Is Michigan a no-fault state?

    Yes. Michigan is a no-fault state. This means drivers responsible for an auto accident are responsible for covering the costs of resulting damage and injury for the other driver and their passengers.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:

  • Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
  • Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
  • No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
  • Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
  • Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible

Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
