Auto insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company that protects you
against financial loss in the event of an accident or theft. In exchange for your paying a
premium, the insurance company agrees to pay your losses as outlined in your policy.

7. Michigan’s Auto Insurance Law Has Changed
Auto insurance provides coverage for:
● Property – such as damage to or theft of your car
● Liability – your legal responsibility to others for bodily injury or property
damage
● Medical – the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation and sometimes lost
wages and funeral expenses
Basic personal auto insurance is mandated by most U.S. states, and laws vary. Auto
insurance coverages are priced individually (a la carte) to let you customize
coverage amounts to suit your exact needs and budget.
Policies are generally issued for six-month or one-year timeframes and are
renewable. The insurance company sends a notice when it’s time to renew the policy
and pay your premium.
Who is covered by my auto insurance—and under what
circumstances?
Your auto policy will cover you and other family members on your policy, whether
driving your car or someone else’s car (with their permission). Your policy also
provides coverage if someone who is not on your policy is driving your car with your
consent.
Your personal auto policy only covers personal driving, whether you’re commuting to
work, running errands or taking a trip. It will not provide coverage if you use your car
for commercial purposes—for instance, if you deliver pizzas.
Personal auto insurance will also not provide coverage if you use your car to provide
transportation to others through a ride-sharing service such as Uber or Lyft. Some
auto insurers, however, are now offering supplemental insurance products (at
additional cost) that extend coverage for vehicle owners providing ride-sharing
services.
Is auto insurance coverage mandatory?
Auto insurance requirements vary from state to state. If you're financing a car, your
lender may also have its own requirements. Nearly every state requires car owners
to carry:
● Bodily injury liability – which covers costs associated with injuries or death
that you or another driver causes while driving your car.
● Property damage liability – which reimburses others for damage that you or
another driver operating your car causes to another vehicle or other property,
such as a fence, building or utility pole.
In addition, many states require that you carry:
● Medical payments or personal injury protection (PIP), which provides
reimbursement for medical expenses for injuries to you or your passengers. It
will also cover lost wages and other related expenses.
● Uninsured motorist coverage reimburses you when an accident is caused
by a driver who does not have auto insurance—or in the case of a hit-and-run.
You can also purchase under insured motorist coverage, which will cover
costs when another driver lacks adequate coverage to pay the costs of a
serious accident.
Even if PIP and uninsured motorist coverage are optional in your state, consider
adding them to your policy for greater financial protection.
What other types of auto insurance coverage are
typical?
While most basic, legally mandated auto insurance covers the damage your car
causes, it does notcover damage to your own car. To cover your own car, you
should consider these optional coverages:
● Collision reimburses you for damage to your car that occurs as a result of a
collision with another vehicle or other object—e.g., a tree or guardrail—when
you’re at fault. While collision coverage will not reimburse you for mechanical
failure or normal wear-and-tear on your car, it will cover damage from
potholes or from rolling your car.
● Comprehensive provides coverage against theft and damage caused by an
incident other than a collision, such as fire, flood, vandalism, hail, falling rocks
or trees and other hazards—even getting hit by an asteroid!
● Glass Coverage provides coverage from windshield damage, which is
common. Some auto policies include no-deductible glass coverage, which
also includes side windows, rear windows and glass sunroofs. Or you can buy
supplemental glass coverage.
What is gap insurance and do I need it?
Collision and comprehensive only cover the market value of your car, not what you
paid for it—and new cars depreciate quickly. If your car is totaled or stolen, there
may be a “gap” between what you owe on the vehicle and your insurance coverage.
To cover this, you may want to look into purchasing gap insurance to pay the
difference. Note that for leased vehicles, gap coverage is usually rolled into your
lease payments.

drivers insurance coverages.
