Car insurance rates have steepest climb in Michigan

Michiganders tired of paying a lot for car insurance might want to cruise to Vermont, where a new study found it has the cheapest insurance compared with Michigan — in its fifth year in the top slot.

The average car insurance premium in Michigan hit $2,239 in 2018, which is $874, or 64%, higher than the national average premium of $1,365, according to an October study by Insure.com that was circulated Tuesday.

Louisiana slotted into the No. 2 spot for the second year in a row with an average premium that is 56% higher than the national average. Florida moved into the No. 3 spot after placing fifth last year, according to the survey results.

Vermont, meanwhile, boasts an average premium of $932, 32% less than the national average. Ohio, Idaho, Virginia and Iowa followed as having the lowest premiums nationwide.
