Get a Michigan QuoteMichigan operates under a no-fault insurance system — one of the most complex in the country. Every registered vehicle must carry three types of coverage: Personal Injury Protection (PIP), Property Protection Insurance (PPI), and Residual Bodily Injury & Property Damage Liability.
Since the 2020 reforms, Michigan drivers choose their own PIP level, ranging from unlimited medical coverage down to an opt-out for those covered by qualifying health insurance. Choosing the wrong level is one of the most expensive mistakes Michigan drivers make. We walk you through every option before you decide.
Michigan's no-fault system means your own insurance pays your medical bills and lost wages after an accident — regardless of who caused it. This protects you, but the PIP level you choose determines how much coverage you actually have. Unlimited PIP offers the most protection but costs more. Lower tiers reduce your premium but shift more risk to you or your health insurer.
Mini-tort is another Michigan-specific rule. If you're in an accident and the other driver is at fault, you can sue them for up to $3,000 in uninsured vehicle damage. Most drivers should carry mini-tort liability coverage to protect themselves from being on the hook for that $3,000.
We explain every layer of Michigan's system in plain English — then compare available options across our carrier access to find coverage that actually fits how you drive and what you own.

It depends on your health insurance. If you have employer-sponsored health coverage that qualifies under Michigan law, a lower PIP level may make sense. If you're on Medicare or Medicaid, different rules apply. There's no one-size-fits-all answer — we review your situation before recommending anything.
Historically yes, due to the unlimited PIP mandate. The 2020 reforms introduced PIP choice, which has helped reduce rates for many drivers — but results vary by carrier and coverage selection. Shopping multiple carrier options is the most reliable way to find the best available price for your specific situation.
Michigan's mini-tort law lets you sue an at-fault driver for up to $3,000 in uninsured vehicle damage. To protect yourself from paying that out of pocket when you're at fault, you need Residual Property Damage Liability coverage of at least $3,000. It's inexpensive and worth carrying.
It's not required by law, but Michigan has a meaningful percentage of uninsured drivers. UM/UIM coverage protects you when an at-fault driver has no policy or insufficient limits. We recommend it for most drivers, especially those with newer vehicles or significant medical exposure.
Yes — commercial auto coverage is separate from personal auto and is required for vehicles used primarily for business. We offer both commercial auto and fleet coverage as part of our Michigan commercial insurance options.
