How much is car insurance in Michigan?

The average cost of car insurance in Michigan is $3,375 per year for full coverage, far more than the national average of $2,545 per year. Michigan residents also pay more for minimum coverage car insurance at $1,210 per year versus the national average of $741 per year. Michigan drivers also pay more than drivers in surrounding states, with Indiana enjoying an average full coverage premium of $1,639 per year and Illinois drivers paying an average of $2,316 per year for full coverage. The average rates in the Great Lakes State are relatively high, but shopping for the cheapest car insurance companies in Michigan could help you get a lower premium.

The higher-than-average rates could be due in part to the millions of Michigan residents on the road and the additional 125 million visitors that visit the state each year. Michigan is no stranger to crowded roadways, which could lead to more accidents, and there are also year-round weather risks in the state that can cause higher rates. Michigan is also a no-fault state, which may contribute to its high average rates. Drivers are required to carry personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, which can pay for your injuries and the injuries of your passengers after an accident, regardless of who was at fault.

Methodology

Bankrate utilizes Quadrant Information Services to analyze the latest rates in February 2024 for ZIP codes and carriers in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Rates include the most recent approved rate changes filed by insurance companies that affect our profile. These revised rates are then weighted based on the population density in each geographic region so that policyholders can see the impact rates have in their areas. Quoted rates are based on a 40-year-old male and female driver with a clean driving record, good credit and the following full coverage limits:

  • $100,000 bodily injury liability per person
  • $300,000 bodily injury liability per accident
  • $50,000 property damage liability per accident
  • $100,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per person
  • $300,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per accident
  • $500 collision deductible
  • $500 comprehensive deductible

To determine minimum coverage limits, Bankrate used minimum coverage that meets each state’s requirements. Our base profile drivers own a 2022 Toyota Camry, commute five days a week and drive 12,000 miles annually.

These are sample rates and should only be used for comparative purposes.
