  • The cheapest full-coverage insurance is with Auto-Owners.

  • USAA offers the best coverage for veterans living in Flint, Michigan.

Cheapest car insurance companies in Flint

While some insurers offer more affordable policies, no single insurer offers the cheapest auto insurance for all Michigan drivers.

That’s because insurers evaluate risk levels differently, and motorists with different driver profiles may get better prices from different insurance companies. It’s best to compare multiple insurers side by side to see which one is the best for your situation. Here are some of the best and cheapest insurance companies in Flint.

  • 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 Flint

To get the most affordable car insurance possible, you’ll need to shop around, make the right coverage choices, and work on maintaining a clean driving record. Here are some steps to keep premiums down and avoid paying the highest rates that could bust your budget:

  • Practice safe driving habits. Avoiding accidents or speeding tickets and taking a defensive driving course can help reduce premium costs.

  • Ask your insurer about discounts. Many insurers provide opportunities to reduce premiums if you’re a member of certain groups, work for a particular employer, or are a student who earns good grades. If you bundle coverage from the same insurer — such as buying home insurance, auto insurance, and life insurance — it can also help you save money on each of the insurance policies.

  • Improve your credit score. While insurers in Michigan can’t use credit to determine whether to offer you coverage, state law allows them to take credit history into account when setting premiums.[3] Better credit translates to cheaper rates, so raising your score over time could lower your car insurance costs.

  • Compare prices from different insurers. Get several quotes before buying auto insurance, as prices vary between companies and insurers impose different charges on drivers with differing risk profiles.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Flint: USAA

In Michigan, liability car insurance provides coverage only for your injuries and any damages you cause to other people’s property in an accident where you’re at fault. It doesn’t apply to cars unless they were parked at the time of the accident, so your own car repairs aren’t covered.

USAA has the cheapest liability-only insurance in Flint, with rates as low as $77 per month, but other cheap insurers are in the table below.

Full-coverage auto insurance provides more asset protection. It typically includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverages and pays for more situations. For example, collision coverage pays for your vehicle damage.

On average, full-coverage car insurance costs $236 per month in Flint, and the table below shows affordable full-coverage auto insurers.

Car insurance requirements in Michigan

Michigan is a no-fault state, so drivers must buy personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. PIP pays for all of a policyholder’s reasonable and necessary medical expenses resulting from an accident and provides a limited amount of wage loss compensation for up to three years following a collision.

Michigan also requires property protection insurance (PPI), which specifically pays for damage to other people’s property, such as buildings, fences, and parked cars. PPI doesn’t apply to cars that are being driven, so you’ll need to add optional collision coverage. 

Residual bodily injury and property damage liability coverages are also mandatory and apply if you cause a death or a serious injury or if you damage someone’s property in another state, respectively.

Here are Michigan’s minimum car insurance requirements:[4] [5]

Coverage
sort ascsort desc
Minimum Requirements
sort ascsort desc
Residual bodily injury liability$20,000 per person / $40,000 per accident
Residual property damage liability$10,000 per accident outside of Michigan
Personal injury protection (PIP)No limit
Property protection insurance$1 million per accident in Michigan

While Michigan recently changed its minimum car insurance requirements, some drivers may not think it’s enough coverage for them. Here are some optional insurance coverages you can add to your policy for greater protection:

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/169fdfde11/liability-coverage.svg

    Collision coverage

    Collision coverage pays for your vehicle’s damage after an accident in Michigan. Without this coverage, you’ll need to pay for your car repairs out of pocket, as the other driver’s coverage won’t apply even if they’re at fault.

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

    Comprehensive coverage

    Comprehensive coverage pays for damages to your vehicle from incidents other than collisions, like theft, vandalism, falling objects, severe weather, and more.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/abffe6238f/financial-protection.svg

    Gap insurance

    Primarily for people who finance or lease their vehicles, gap insurance pays the difference between your auto loan balance and the insurance settlement after a total loss.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an incident

Speeding tickets, driving under the influence, and at-fault accidents become part of your driving history. When you have a record of these incidents, you’ll generally pay higher rates for both liability insurance and full-coverage insurance.

Some insurers increase premiums more than others, but it depends on the severity of the accident or violation. For example, a DUI is one of the more serious violations and typically comes with the highest car insurance spikes.

Here are the cheapest insurance companies in Flint, based on driving history.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket: USAA

Speeding was a contributing factor in 29% of traffic fatalities nationwide in 2021. Driving faster than the speed limit significantly increases the chance of a collision and serious injuries.[6]

Because of the added risk, virtually all insurers charge more for drivers with a history of speeding. However, the premium penalty is higher with some companies than others.

Drivers in Flint pay an average of $214 per month after a speeding ticket, but the cheapest insurer is USAA.

The table below also shows other affordable insurance companies for drivers with a ticket on their record.

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

The average cost of car insurance in Flint after a DUI conviction is $303 per month, but you can start your search for affordable coverage with the insurers in the table below.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors: Auto-Owners

While auto insurance premiums are expensive for teens, they decline in middle age as people develop more driving experience and are less risky to insure. However, as drivers age, health issues and delayed reaction time cause their accident risk to rise again.[7] This results in a slight uptick in senior drivers’ car insurance premiums once they reach their 70s.

Still, senior drivers tend to have low average rates, especially compared to teens. Senior drivers pay an average of $167 per month for car insurance. You can also check out the table below to see other affordable insurers for seniors.

Cheapest car insurance for teens: USAA

Teen drivers have the highest risk of a motor vehicle accident of any age group. A lack of experience and a high degree of risk-taking behaviors both contribute to their elevated risk which, in turn, results in higher auto insurance premiums.[8]

Not all insurers impose the same premium increases for teens, though. The cheapest average rate for teen drivers in Flint is $132 per month. The table below also shows some other affordable options for young drivers.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 190 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.
