“Michigan is one of the most expensive places in the USA for
car insurance
and has been for a while. But that doesn’t mean you can’t find affordable insurance!
Although you likely don’t want to move outside of
Michigan
, moving to another part of the state could result in cheaper rates. Cities are always more expensive in comparison to rural areas. A good example is in Grand Rapids insurance is usually about $3,251, but in Rochester Hills, it’s $1,891.
Another option is raising your deductible if you have
comprehensive coverage
or collision coverage. While you would pay more out of pocket if you got into an accident, your premium and monthly payments will be lower.
You could also look for other discounts. Many insurance companies offer discounts for things like:
Anti-theft devices
Safe driving or telematics Defensive driving or driver training courses
The other thing you can do is shop around. By reviewing your options, you may be able to find a lower rate, even when you live in a state known for expensive insurance!
A good way to do this without any effort is
