“Michigan employs a unique no-fault car insurance system, which is the main reason car insurance has skyrocketed there. On the opposite end, rural states that avoid severe weather dominate our cheapest to insure list because fewer drivers on the road results in fewer accidents and cheaper insurance overall,” says Penny Gusner, Insure.com’s consumer analyst. “For consumers seeking the cheapest rates they’re entitled to in their home states, knowledge truly is power. To keep insurance premiums manageable, especially in high insurance states, make sure to identify the factors that can be controlled, and those that can’t, and then take advantage of those insights by comparing as many rates as possible.”
