DETROIT – Michigan drivers should have the choice of cutting their auto insurance costs starting this week.

Statement from Insurance Alliance of Michigan Executive Director Erin McDonough on the state’s new auto no-fault law:
“For the first time in nearly 50 years, Michigan drivers will have a choice in the level of medical coverage included with their car insurance, which is leading to lower car insurance premiums across the state — including in Detroit. And under the new law the 20% of Michiganders who are currently driving without insurance will be able to get legal without facing a penalty. Insurance Alliance of Michigan member companies are committed to doing their part to educate their customers about the upcoming changes to Michigan’s auto no-fault law and helping drivers find the right plan for them and their family. We encourage Michiganders to reach out to their insurance company or independent agent to see what options are available under the new law so they can pick a plan that works for their budget.”
