.....why is it that any insurance company I look into for PLPD is a minimum of $ 550 a month! I have no at fault accidents or tickcets int he last ten years, it is a really old 1998 protege-mazda, not even worth 200 dollars and I'm 36 years old, I'm not a teenager, I just don't get it. Would someone please be so kind as to enlighten me?

You should address these questions with a representative of your insurance company. A call center may be open on Sunday.

Who is your insurance company - I just paid my six month renewal today for my SUV in Detroit as a 30's male and mine for no-fault, collison and comprehensive was $760 total for six months. I have AAA. Try them.

Yeahhh, I don't pay nearly that much. as a 30-something male, I pay $180 a month to insure two cars, a 10 year old sports sedan and a 2 year old crossover. I mean, it's more than I paid in Utah (~$130), but not much. We do get various discounts for being married, having college degrees, and bundling with home insurance, but even without those I can't imagine being anywhere close to $500 a month. That's absurd. You need to find a different company to work with.

I just paid $800 for our '08 and '12 Chrysler vans full coverage 6 month policy--actually we pay a bit more as we pay monthly and incur a service fee.

Michigan has a long term disability insurance requirements. It is one of a very few states that have this (might be the only one by now). This insurance is expensive but very rarely drawn on, so it is very profitable for insurance companies. (Which is why few states require it). It adds either $150 or $180 to every policy.

Insurance companies got it passed as mandatory here some time ago. Now we have the most expensive insurance in the USA. (Ohio has the least expensive).

Yeah, it couldn't possibly be because Detroiters like to steal cars and drive recklessly.

Could be your credit. Two people the same age with identical cars and driving record but one has great credit (say 775) and the other bad credit (say 500) the difference in price could be double!!!
