A full coverage car insurance policy costs around $3,146 a year or $262 per month for Michigan drivers. However, if you choose to get the state’s minimum liability coverage, you’ll pay $714 a year.

Where you live plays a big role in what you pay for car insurance. Insurers factor in local accident rates, repair and medical costs, theft trends, and even weather risks when setting premiums. If you’re in a crowded city with high traffic or crime rates, you’ll typically pay more, whereas quieter rural areas usually come with lower premiums. But location isn’t everything – your age, driving history, credit score, ZIP code and even the type of car you drive also play a role in determining your final premium.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in Michigan

Your car insurance cost largely comes down to the coverage limits you pick.

If you’re just looking to meet the state’s minimum requirements, you can expect to pay around $60 a month, or about $714 a year. It’s an affordable option, but remember that it only covers liability, so damages to your car won’t be covered.

For more complete protection, you may want to go with full coverage instead. Full coverage car insurance includes liability, collision and comprehensive coverage. Collision coverage covers damage to your car from accidents, regardless of fault. Comprehensive coverage protects against non-collision damages, like theft, vandalism and weather events.

On average, drivers in Michigan pay around $262 per month, or roughly $3,146 a year for full coverage. It’s a bit more expensive, but it can be worth the extra cost, especially if your car is new or financed.

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

Car insurance rates can vary widely depending on where you live, even within Michigan.

Cities like Detroit, Dearborn, or Warren tend to have higher premiums due to heavier traffic, more frequent accidents, and a greater risk of theft or damage.

On the other hand, car insurance is generally more affordable in cities like Ann Arbor or Grand Rapids, with average annual premiums between $2,628 and $2,898.

This is largely because these cities have fewer accidents, less traffic, and lower rates of vehicle theft or vandalism.

Average car insurance cost in Michigan by age

Age is one of the most important factors insurers consider when pricing car insurance. Young drivers usually pay more because insurers see them as higher risk due to their limited experience behind the wheel.

Premiums are typically most expensive for teens, begin to decrease after age 25, and then rise again as drivers enter their 70s.

Here’s a breakdown of what you might pay for full coverage in Michigan, based on age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Michigan for young drivers

If you’re a younger driver, expect to pay higher premiums on your car insurance.

Insurers consider young drivers risky because of the increased risk that comes with limited driving experience.

For instance, a 20-year-old male driver in Michigan pays an average of $6,425 annually for car insurance, compared to $6,425 for a female driver of the same age.

By age 25, car insurance premiums typically decrease to $3,757 per year for male drivers and $3,757 for female drivers. While still slightly above average, it’s a substantial drop from what drivers pay in their early 20s.

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