Your medical level
Six options, from unlimited to full opt-out — each with eligibility rules tied to your health insurance. Electing wrong can leave six-figure exposure or waste hundreds a year.
No-fault. PIP levels. Broad versus Limited collision. Mini-tort. Michigan built the most complicated auto insurance in America — we've been explaining it since 1925, and we quote it across multiple carriers so the explanation comes with a better price.
These three decisions drive most of your premium — and most of the regret after an accident. Every quote we deliver walks through them.
Six options, from unlimited to full opt-out — each with eligibility rules tied to your health insurance. Electing wrong can leave six-figure exposure or waste hundreds a year.
Michigan's three collision types decide whether your deductible applies after a crash that wasn't your fault. Broad is what we quote by default — and we'll tell you when it isn't worth it.
The liability limits protecting your house and wages if you're sued. The state minimums exist; that doesn't make them a good idea for anyone with something to lose.

ReadYes. Michigan remains a no-fault state: your own policy pays your medical costs and lost wages after an accident regardless of fault. The 2020 reform added choices in PIP medical levels, which is where a licensed agent earns their keep — the cheapest election is not automatically the right one for your health coverage situation.
Depending on your health coverage you can choose unlimited PIP, capped levels ($500,000 or $250,000), a $250,000 level with exclusions, a $50,000 Medicaid-coordinated level, or opt out entirely with qualifying Medicare. Each has strict eligibility rules tied to your health insurance — we verify eligibility before you elect anything.
Broad collision waives your deductible when you are 50% or less at fault. Standard applies your deductible regardless of fault. Limited only pays when you are not substantially at fault — but costs the least. Michigan is one of the few states with this choice, and it changes both your premium and what happens after a crash.
Mini-tort coverage pays up to $3,000 of the other driver's vehicle damage when you are at fault — the amount they can legally recover from you under Michigan's limited property damage liability. It costs little and prevents an out-of-pocket surprise.
Statewide rate filings, vehicle repair costs, MCCA assessment changes, and your own factors (claims, violations, credit-based insurance scores, vehicle changes) all move rates. The fix is competition: as an independent agency we re-shop your policy across carriers at renewal instead of hoping your current carrier stays competitive.
