Cheapest minimum coverage insurance in Detroit

Michigan has no-fault insurance and you are required to have three coverages:

  • Personal injury protection (PIP).
  • Property protection insurance (PPI).
  • Residual liability insurance (RLI).

PIP protects you if you get hurt in an accident and you can choose from various medical coverage limits:

  • No PIP medical coverage (available under certain conditions).
  • $50,000, $250,000 with exclusions (per person per accident, available under certain conditions).
  • $250,000 per person per accident, $500,000 per person per accident or unlimited coverage.

By default, you will get unlimited PIP medical coverage unless you select something else.

PPI will pay up to $1 million for damage your vehicle causes in Michigan to other people’s property.

Finally, the minimum levels of RLI you can get are:

  • $50,000 for bodily injury to a person in an accident.
  • $100,000 per accident involving bodily injury to several people.
  • $10,000 for property damage in another state.

By default, you will get coverage of $250,000/$500,000/$10,000 unless you choose otherwise.

Here are some of the cheapest quotes Jerry customers received for state minimum coverage in Detroit.
