Coverage designed with you in mind

Located in the Great Lakes region of the United States, Michigan is the 11th largest and 10th most populous state in the country. Its largest city, Detroit, is among the largest and most populous in the country, as well. The state's upper and lower peninsulas are separated by the Straits of Mackinac between Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. Lakes Superior and Erie also border Michigan. The state frequently feels the lake's effects on weather, especially harsh winters with plenty of snow. While there are plenty of high-tech companies in the state, Michigan is well-known for its ties to the automotive industry. Big cities in the state include Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor and Lansing. It is also home to professional baseball, football, basketball and hockey teams. Interstate Highway 75 runs north to south through the state, while Interstate Highways 69, 96 and 94 run east to west.

When it comes to auto insurance, just like its landmarks, cuisine and culture, every state is different. See what coverage and coverage limits Michigan requires in the table below. These requirements are just a starting point – you may want to purchase additional car insurance or increase your coverage limits.
