Minimum Coverage Requirements in Michigan

Michigan operates under a no-fault insurance system, which means your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays your medical bills regardless of who caused the accident. The state requires proof of insurance at all times, and the Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services enforces strict penalties for lapses—including license suspension and reinstatement fees. For drivers 75 and older, understanding these requirements is critical because many carriers non-renew policies at specific age thresholds, and gaps in coverage make it harder to find replacement policies.

Bodily Injury Liability

Bodily injury liability covers injuries you cause to others in an at-fault accident. Drivers 75 and older should consider 100/300 limits because age-related health complications increase claim severity, and at-fault accidents can expose fixed retirement income to judgment collection.

Property Damage Liability

Property damage liability covers damage you cause to another person's vehicle or property.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

PIP coverage pays your own medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs regardless of fault. Opting out of PIP entirely is only allowed if you have Medicaid coverage and file a specific waiver with your carrier.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Uninsured motorist coverage protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance. Michigan does not require this coverage, but carriers must offer it at policy inception. Rejection must be made in writing—verbal rejection does not count.

Comprehensive and Collision

Comprehensive covers non-collision damage (theft, hail, vandalism); collision covers damage from accidents. Neither is legally required in Michigan, but both are required by lenders on financed vehicles. Above that value, comprehensive remains cost-justified in Michigan due to high rates of deer strikes and winter weather damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age do Michigan insurance companies stop renewing auto policies?

Most Michigan carriers begin non-renewal processes between ages 80 and 85, though some impose soft caps at 75 by requiring higher coverage limits or medical certifications as a condition of renewal. Auto-Owners and Hastings Mutual are known to non-renew policies at 80 unless the driver completes a medical evaluation. Drivers who receive non-renewal notices have 30 days to find replacement coverage before the policy terminates.
