Minimum Coverage Requirements in Michigan

Drivers with DUI convictions, at-fault uninsured accidents, repeat traffic violations, or license suspensions typically must file SR-22 proof of financial responsibility for 2 years.

Liability Insurance

These limits are lower than the national average but still mandatory even after your SR-22 ends.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Post-SR22 drivers selecting lower PIP limits to manage costs should confirm their health plan covers auto injuries — medical cost denials after accidents can trigger rate increases even without a violation.

Property Protection Insurance (PPI)

Michigan requires property protection insurance covering damage your vehicle causes to others' property, distinct from liability.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Michigan does not mandate uninsured motorist coverage but insurers must offer it.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not a coverage type but a certificate your insurer files with the Michigan Secretary of State proving you maintain required coverage. Once the period ends, the SR-22 itself drops off but your violation remains on record for 7 years — meaning you're now a post-SR22 driver who can access better rates but still carries a marked history.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Time since SR-22 requirement ended — 12-month mark typically triggers the first major rate drop
  • Violation type — DUI carries longer rate impact (5–7 years) than minor moving violations (3–5 years)
  • Clean driving during SR-22 period — zero violations while SR-22 was active qualifies for 'good risk' reclassification at many carriers
