Michigan auto insurance changes on July 1: How to lower your costs
Michigan drivers should be able to cut their auto insurance costs starting this week -- but you may need to take action.
Michigan lawmakers approved bipartisan auto insurance reform legislation last spring aimed at cutting costs for Michigan drivers who have paid the highest insurance rates in the country.
Basically, drivers will now have a choice when it comes to coverage level. In some cases, doing nothing will save you money. But for some, you may need to take action this week.
Companies can no longer use certain non-driving factors to set rates. Drivers’ premiums will depend on the coverages they choose, and factors related to their personal situation, such as driving record and claims history.
The state has offered some resources to help sort through some of the common questions.
