What It Typically Helps Cover

Michigan’s Required Auto Coverages

  • Personal Injury Protection (PIP): helps cover certain injury-related expenses for you and eligible household members, based on the option you select
  • Property Protection Insurance (PPI): helps pay for certain damage your vehicle causes to other people’s property in Michigan (details vary)
  • Bodily Injury / Property Damage Liability (BI/PD): helps if you’re legally responsible for injury or damage in certain situations (details vary)

Common Optional Protections

  • Collision: helps repair your vehicle after a crash (when selected)
  • Comprehensive: helps cover non-collision losses like theft, vandalism, falling objects, animal damage (when selected)
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist: extra protection if you’re hit by a driver with no insurance or not enough insurance (when selected)

The right coverage helps protect you from everyday risks at home, on the road & beyond.

 FAQs 

What are the three required coverages in Michigan?

Michigan’s required coverages include PIP, PPI, and BI/PD. We’ll explain each one and help you choose options that fit your situation.

What does “no-fault” mean in plain English?

In many situations, your own policy helps cover certain injury-related losses regardless of who caused the accident, based on your selections and eligibility.

Do I need collision and comprehensive?

If you want coverage for damage to your own vehicle, these are the two core options. Collision is for crash damage; comprehensive is for non-collision events like theft or vandalism.

What’s the difference between “state minimum” and “full coverage”?

State minimum refers to the legal requirement. Full coverage isn’t a defined insurance term – most people mean they have liability plus collision and comprehensive, but coverage still has limits and exclusions.

How do I choose deductibles?

A higher deductible generally lowers premium, but increases what you pay out of pocket if you file a claim. We’ll help you balance monthly cost vs financial comfort if something happens.

What’s different about high-value auto insurance?

High-value programs are designed to better match the vehicle’s value and ownership realities, which can help reduce valuation surprises after a claim.

Do classic cars need specialized coverage?

Often yes. Classic/collectible policies are built around how the vehicle is stored, driven, and valued – usually different from a daily driver.

Do ATVs, snowmobiles, and RVs need separate coverage?

Often they’re best protected with dedicated coverage tailored to seasonal use and different risks than standard auto.

What changes should I report to my agent?

New drivers (especially teens), address/garaging changes, vehicle use changes, and new vehicles should all be updated quickly to avoid coverage issues.

Can I bundle auto with home and umbrella?

Often yes. Bundling can simplify your coverage and may improve overall value, while keeping each policy structured correctly.
