Auto insurance requirements in Michigan

How to get cheaper Michigan auto insurance

  • Because Michigan rates are so high, comparing car insurance quotes from multiple insurance companies to find a good deal is important.
  • Keep a good driving record. Try to avoid car accidents, tickets for moving violations and insurance claims.
  • Ask your car insurance agent to review all the car insurance discounts available from your insurer.
  • Increase the deductible on comprehensive and collision coverage, if you buy them.
  • Buy renters or homeowners insurance from your auto insurance company to get a "bundling" discount.


How Michigan car insurance works

You must show an insurance ID card (or other proof of financial responsibility) in Michigan when:

  • Law enforcement requests it
  • You renew vehicle registration

Penalties for not having car insurance in Michigan

  • Misdemeanor, fine of not less than $200 and not more than $500 and/or imprisonment for not more than one year. Supplying false information is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than one year or a fine of not more than $1,000, or both.

Changes coming to Michigan car insurance

Michigan recently passed an auto insurance reform bill that was signed into law by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on May 30, 2019. Changes to Michigan’s current no-fault system are expected to go into effect by July 2020. In addition to changes in PIP requirements, insurance companies will not be able to set rates based on non-driving factors such as credit, education level, home ownership, marital status, occupation, sex or ZIP code.

Auto insurance companies are required to adjust rates by July 2020. You may see changes to your rates when you renew your policy after that date.


Rates methodology: EverQuote analyzed premiums reported by our users. Premiums are based on policies with liability of 100/300/50 ($100,000 bodily injury per person, $300,000 bodily injury per accident, $50,000 property damage) and uninsured motorist coverage of 100/300 ($100,000 per person, $300,000 per accident). We used premiums collected between Jan. 1, 2017, and Dec. 31, 2018. Your own rates will be different.
