State Requirements

Michigan requires minimum liability coverage of $50,000 bodily injury per person, $100,000 per accident, and $10,000 property damage, plus unlimited personal injury protection (PIP) or opt-down options starting at $50,000 if qualified. SR-22 filing is required for DUI convictions, driving without insurance, multiple violations resulting in suspension, and at-fault accidents while uninsured. High-risk drivers with SR-22 requirements face significantly higher premiums and limited carrier availability in the non-standard market.

Bodily Injury Liability
Covers injuries you cause to others in an at-fault accident. Michigan requires $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident, but these limits can be exhausted quickly in serious crashes. High-risk drivers with DUI or multiple at-fault accidents should consider $100,000/$300,000 or higher limits to protect against personal liability, as Michigan allows injury victims to sue beyond policy limits for economic damages exceeding no-fault benefits.
$10,000
Property Damage Liability
Covers damage you cause to other vehicles and property. Michigan's $10,000 minimum is among the lowest in the nation and insufficient for most accidents involving newer vehicles. High-risk drivers should carry at least $25,000 to $50,000 in property damage coverage, as a single totaled vehicle can exceed the state minimum and leave you personally liable for the difference.
Unlimited or opt-down options
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for you and your passengers regardless of fault. Michigan requires unlimited PIP unless you qualify to opt down to $500,000, $250,000, or $50,000 if you have qualifying health insurance. High-risk drivers with SR-22 requirements must maintain at least the minimum PIP level to avoid filing lapses, and premiums vary significantly based on the PIP limit selected and whether you choose coordinated benefits with health insurance.
State minimum liability + PIP
SR-22 Certificate of Financial Responsibility
Electronic filing proving you maintain continuous coverage at state-required minimums. Michigan mandates SR-22 for DUI offenses, driving without insurance, multiple serious violations, and at-fault accidents while uninsured. The filing itself costs $15–$25, but the underlying high-risk policy premiums increase substantially—typically $1,800–$3,600 more annually than standard rates for drivers with clean records.
Optional but recommended
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you if hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage to pay for damages. While optional in Michigan, uninsured motorist coverage is critical for high-risk drivers who may face policy cancellations or lapses—approximately 20% of Michigan drivers are uninsured. Coverage typically mirrors your liability limits and adds $8–$20 monthly to premiums, providing essential protection in a state with high uninsured rates and frequent insurance fraud.

Cost Overview

High-risk auto insurance in Michigan costs substantially more than standard policies due to no-fault PIP requirements and limited non-standard carrier competition. Drivers with DUI convictions pay 85–150% more than clean-record drivers, while those with multiple at-fault accidents or SR-22 requirements see increases of 60–120%. Michigan's unique unlimited PIP system amplifies these increases, making it one of the most expensive states for high-risk coverage.

What Affects Your Rate

  • DUI or OWI conviction increases premiums 85–150% for 7–10 years in Michigan
  • SR-22 filing requirement adds $1,800–$3,600 annually on top of violation surcharges
  • Multiple at-fault accidents within 3 years can increase rates 60–120%
  • PIP coverage level selected—unlimited, $500,000, $250,000, or $50,000—affects premiums by 40–70%
  • Detroit and Flint metro area drivers pay 25–50% more than rural Michigan due to higher claim frequency
  • Non-standard carriers assess points differently: 2+ speeding violations in 2 years may trigger non-renewal
