Full coverage car insurance in Michigan is expensive, averaging around $3,785 per year or about $315 per month. This is significantly higher than the national average, primarily due to the state's unique no-fault insurance laws, which until recently mandated unlimited Personal Injury Protection (PIP) medical coverage.
The cost isn't a single number because it's highly personalized. Your final premium is calculated based on a combination of factors:
| Factor | Low-End Annual Premium (Good Driver, Older Car) | High-End Annual Premium (Young Driver, New Luxury Car) | Key Influence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Driver Age | $2,200 (40-year-old) | $7,500+ (20-year-old) | Statistically, younger drivers file more claims. |
| Driving Record | $3,000 (Clean record) | $5,500+ (With at-fault accident) | A violation signals higher risk to insurers. |
| Vehicle Type | $2,800 (Honda CR-V) | $6,000+ (Tesla Model S) | Repair costs and theft rates are key factors. |
| PIP Medical Limit | $3,400 ($250,000 limit) | $4,500+ ($500,000 limit) | A major cost driver unique to Michigan. |
| Deductible | $3,900 ($250 deductible) | $3,200 ($1,000 deductible) | Your out-of-pocket cost for a claim. |
The best way to find your exact rate is to shop around. Get quotes from at least three different insurers, as prices can vary dramatically for the same driver.

It really depends on you and your car. My premium dropped by over $600 a year after I turned 25 and my car got older. The biggest thing is your driving history—one ticket can cost you. Also, definitely shop around online. I saved a bunch just by switching companies for the exact same coverage. Don't just auto-renew every year.

Michigan's insurance is complex. The recent reforms changed the mandatory Personal Injury Protection (PIP) medical coverage. You now have choices for your PIP limit, which directly affects your premium. Selecting a $250,000 limit instead of unlimited coverage can lead to significant savings. However, this choice involves a trade-off between monthly cost and potential long-term medical protection.
