Does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in Michigan?

Your car’s make and model play a big role in determining insurance rates. Insurers account for multiple factors – including your vehicle’s make and model – to calculate premiums.

For example, insuring a Honda Accord LX around $3,040 per year for a full coverage policy. On the other hand, coverage for a Honda CR-V costs $2,517, a difference of $523.

Does your car’s model year affect insurance rates in Michigan?

In Michigan – as in many other states – a car’s model year can impact your insurance rates. For instance, the annual premium for a 2023 Honda Accord LX is around $4,705, while insuring the 2024 model costs $3,150.

Quick tip: Check your state’s minimum coverage rules

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

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

These limits are the bare minimum – many drivers choose higher coverage to better protect themselves financially after an accident. Not carrying 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

Insurance rates often vary based on your car’s trim. Companies consider the vehicle’s value, cost of repairs, safety equipment and theft risk. Premium trims with upgraded technology or more powerful engines usually mean higher premiums due to their higher replacement and repair costs.

For example, in Michigan, full coverage car insurance for a 2023 Honda Accord LX costs $4,705 a year, while the higher-end Accord EX-L trim costs $3,991 annually – a difference of $714 per year.

Luxury features like high-end sound systems or advanced infotainment can increase insurance rates, since they add to the car’s value. Similarly, performance trims with larger engines often increase premiums due to a greater risk of accidents or speeding.
