Michigan Non-Owner Liability Requirements

Michigan requires $50,000 bodily injury per person, $100,000 per accident, and $10,000 property damage. A non-owner policy carries these minimums without an owned vehicle. Michigan is a no-fault state, but non-owner policies provide liability-only coverage and do not include PIP tied to an owned vehicle. If you need an SR-22 filing, the non-owner policy satisfies the filing requirement for drivers without a car.

$50,000/$100,000 minimum
Bodily Injury Liability
Covers injury to others when you're at fault driving a borrowed, rented, or shared car. Michigan's $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident minimums are the floor a non-owner policy must carry. This coverage follows you, not the car you drive.
$10,000 minimum
Property Damage Liability
Pays for damage you cause to another person's property in an at-fault accident. Michigan's $10,000 minimum is lower than many states, but a non-owner policy must carry at least this amount. The policy does not cover damage to the car you're driving.
Optional in Michigan
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Michigan does not require uninsured motorist coverage, but many non-owner policies include it. This protects you if hit by a driver with no insurance. Because you own no vehicle, this coverage addresses bodily injury to you, not property damage.
SR-22 required, 3 years
Non-Owner SR-22 Filing
If the Michigan Secretary of State requires an SR-22 filing and you own no car, a non-owner policy can carry the filing. Geico, Progressive, State Farm, and USAA write non-owner SR-22 policies in Michigan. The filing period is 3 years from the reinstatement date.

What Shapes Non-Owner Costs in Michigan

Non-owner premiums in Michigan depend on your driving history, whether you need an SR-22 filing, and the liability limits you select above the state minimum. Michigan's no-fault system does not affect non-owner policies the way it affects owned-vehicle policies, because non-owner coverage is liability-only and carries no PIP. Carriers that write non-owner in Michigan include Geico, Progressive, State Farm, and USAA.

What Affects Your Rate

  • SR-22 filing requirement: Michigan requires a 3-year SR-22 filing for certain violations, and the filing increases cost because it signals risk to the carrier.
  • Driving history: Violations, accidents, and lapses in coverage raise non-owner premiums the same way they raise owned-vehicle premiums.
  • Liability limits selected: Choosing limits above Michigan's $50,000/$100,000/$10,000 minimum increases premium but provides more protection.
  • Carrier availability: Only a subset of Michigan carriers write non-owner policies, and fewer still write non-owner SR-22 policies, which limits competition.
  • No-fault system: Michigan's no-fault rules do not affect non-owner policies the way they affect owned-vehicle policies, because non-owner coverage is liability-only and carries no PIP.
  • Continuous coverage: A lapse in coverage before buying a non-owner policy can raise rates, because carriers view gaps as higher risk.
