Wayne County has the highest car insurance rate of any county in the state with an average cost of nearly $2,800 a year.
Michigan’s law requiring lifetime benefits to those injured in a car accident and the high number of uninsured drivers are cited as the top reasons for the high cost to insure a vehicle.
