Michigan Minimum Auto Insurance Requirements

By Tanu Menon

Michigan's required no-fault coverages explained — residual liability, property protection, PIP choices, and why limits matter.

What Michigan requires

Michigan is a no-fault state. To drive legally, you generally need a Michigan no-fault auto policy that includes several required coverages — not just basic liability.

Residual liability (bodily injury / property damage)

Michigan residual liability minimums are commonly shown as 50/100/10:

  • $50,000 bodily injury liability per person
  • $100,000 bodily injury liability per accident
  • $10,000 property damage liability (often for accidents outside Michigan)

Property protection insurance (PPI)

Inside Michigan, policies typically include Property Protection Insurance with a high limit (often up to $1 million) for certain property damage claims under the no-fault system.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

PIP pays medical and related expenses after a crash, generally regardless of fault. Michigan offers PIP choice levels (including higher limits and, for eligible drivers, lower or opt-out options tied to other health coverage). Choosing the wrong level can leave expensive gaps.

Why “minimum” still needs a review

Michigan rules are more complex than many states. The cheapest legal combination is not always the safest fit for your household, health insurance, or assets.
