If you’re in Michigan, your monthly cost for full coverage car insurance is $262, which adds up to $3,146 per year. For minimum coverage, expect to pay an average of $60 monthly, or $714 a year.

Insurance companies calculate your premiums based partly on where you live. They consider factors such as traffic and accident rates, the number of car thefts in your area, and how expensive it is to repair your vehicle.

If you live in a busy city with heavy traffic and high theft rates, you’ll likely pay more for car insurance than someone in a rural area with fewer cars on the road and lower accident risks.

Other than location, your age, driving history, credit score and ZIP code also influence your insurance rates.

Average car insurance cost in Michigan

If you live in Michigan can expect to pay an average of $262 per month for full coverage car insurance – that’s $3,146 per year. If you opt for your state’s minimum required coverage, your insurance cost drops to $60 monthly or $714 annually. Just keep in mind that opting for minimum coverage means significantly less protection if you’re in an accident.

However, how much you actually pay for coverage can vary based on several factors, such as your age, driving history, credit score, ZIP code and the type of car you drive.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in Michigan

The cost of your car insurance also depends on the coverage levels you choose.

If you opt for just the minimum coverage required by your state, you’ll pay $60 per month, or $714 per year. It’s a low-cost option, but keep in mind that it won’t pay for any repairs to your own car if you’re in an accident.

For solid protection, full coverage might be the right choice. It includes liability coverage along with collision and comprehensive insurance. Collision coverage covers damage to your vehicle from accidents, irrespective of fault. Comprehensive coverage protects against non-collision events like theft, vandalism or weather events.

In Michigan, the average cost for full coverage is $262 per month, or $3,146 per year

While it’s more than what you’d pay for minimum coverage, the added protection can be worth it, especially if your car is of significant value.

Coverage limitsAverage annual cost
State minimum liability-only$714
Liability only$761
Full coverage$3,146
Non-owner state minimum liability$462

Average car insurance cost in Michigan by city

Because car insurance rates vary by location, the city you live in also affects how much you pay. If you’re in cities like Detroit, Dearborn or Warren, you’ll likely see higher premiums because of high traffic and accident rates, and greater risk of theft or damage.

On the other hand, drivers in cities like Ann Arbor or Grand Rapids pay significantly low insurance rates, on average between $2,628 and $2,898 a year. Insurers typically charge lower premiums in these cities due to fewer accidents, lower population density, vehicle theft and vandalism rates.

Grand Rapids$2,898
Lansing$2,937
Troy$3,287

Average car insurance cost in Michigan by age

Age plays a significant role in how insurers calculate car insurance costs. Young drivers usually pay more, as their inexperience on the road makes them a higher risk.

Rates are often highest for teenagers, begin to decrease after 25, and then climb again once drivers are in their 70s.

Let’s break down what you can expect to pay in Michigan for full coverage, depending on your age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Michigan for young drivers

As a young driver, you’ll likely face higher-than-average insurance rates. Because of limited driving experience, insurers view young drivers as riskier, resulting in higher insurance rates until they gain more experience on the road.

In Michigan, 20-year-old male drivers pay an average of $6,425 per year for car insurance, while their female counterparts pay $6,425 for the same coverage.

However, by age 25, average car insurance costs drop to about $3,757 per year for male drivers and $3,757 for female drivers.

Age of driverAverage annual cost for Male driversAverage annual cost for Female drivers
20$6,425$6,425
21$5,253$5,253
22$5,058$5,058

Keep in mind that rates can vary depending on personal factors, so it’s always a good idea to compare quotes to get the best deal.

Average car insurance cost in Michigan for senior drivers

As a senior driver, you may notice your car insurance rates increase with age. At 65, men pay $2,743 per year, and women pay $2,743.

By age 70, those averages increase to $3,001 for men and $3,001 for women. At 75, premiums rise again, reaching $3,288 for male drivers and $3,288 for female drivers.

Older drivers often face higher premiums because insurers view them as higher-risk due to slower reaction times and increased accident severity with age.

Still, you can keep your premiums in check by driving safely and taking advantage of senior discounts.
