Michigan Automobile and Home Insurance Consumer Advocate The average American driver pays $44 per monthe for car insurance, compared to $90 per month for the average Michigan driver, according to National Association of Insurance Commissioners data. Yet crashes are down by 54% and company profits are at record levels. For the first time in 30 years, a package of bills is being readied to help Michigan drivers obtain fair and affordable premiums now. Time to act!

Michigan Automobile and Home Insurance Consumer Advocate Thank you House Judiciary Committee Chair Mark Meadows, for entering the Advocate’s written submission on the high number (20%) of uninsured drivers in Michigan into the official record of the committee’s June 19 hearing. This unacceptably high percentage reflects auto insurance rates that are unaffordable for far too many Michiganians. We need comprehensive insurance reform passed in the State Legislature this year!
