Quick tip: Review your state’s minimum insurance requirements before choosing a policy

Each state sets its own minimum car insurance requirements, and Michigan is no different. To drive legally, you’ll need at least the minimum liability coverage, which generally includes:

  • Bodily injury liability per person and per accident
  • Property damage liability

These limits offer the minimum coverage, but many drivers choose higher coverage to protect themselves after an accident.

Driving without the required coverage in Michigan can lead to fines, license suspension and even vehicle impoundment.

Auto insurance premiums vary significantly from city to city, so drivers need to be sure they’re getting the best deal. Insure.com has done the research for you. Get more information on auto insurance rates by city below.

How your car’s trim affects insurance rates in Michigan

Your car’s trim level plays a big role in determining your insurance premium. Insurers consider the vehicle’s value, repair costs, safety features and theft risk when setting rates. Higher trims with upgraded technology or powerful engines often have higher premiums since they’re more expensive to repair or replace.

For example, a 2023 Honda Accord LX costs $4,705 per year to insure in Michigan, whereas the EX-L trim costs $3,991, a difference of $714 annually.

Trims that include luxury upgrades, like a premium sound system, often cost more to insure because they raise the vehicle’s overall value. Similarly, performance-focused trims with larger engines may increase premiums due to a greater risk of accidents or speeding.
