GG54172 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I just moved from Ontario to Michigan...does anyone have advice for the cheapest motorcycle insurance in Michigan? Ken in Kalamazoo I get an GMI alumni discount from Liberty Mutual. However, I would guess progressive, they seemed to have the best rates before I moved to Iowa. Shop around. I used to spend one friday morning annually shopping for all of my insurance needs. Michigan has some high insurance rates. I would call all of the major insurance companies and one or two independant agents. Takes three or four hours, but you can save several thousand dollars a year.
timgray Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Don't believe the rates that progressive quotes you from the "other companies". I went to a local state farm guy, talked to him face to face and he quoted me 30% less than Progressive could do. This is even more effective if you have a very clean driving record.
KarlS Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I had Progressive on my van and my rates almost doubled for no reason. No claims, no tickets. didn't move. Bad thing was I had rates taken out of my bank account by progressive, they took out double and sent a letter on the increase the day AFTER they took the funds out of the bank. Went to a local independent agency and paying less then progressive charged in the first place.
MiCarl Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Michigan is high, but from what I've read it's cheap compared to Ontario. As I posted in another thread I did better with Allstate than I did with Progressive.
Carbon_One Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I have Progressive and when I first shopped for bike insurance I checked their web site. Seemed high so went to one of the independant insurance dealers. Much cheaper going that way. No idea why either as I was quoted at both places for exact same amounts of coverage. Allstate now covers mc's too but don't know what their rates are. I have Allstate on both my cars and house. But they won't cover a trike even thou Michigan considers it still a motorcycle. Larry
ToRide1 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I made a post on another thread you may want to give them a call and its right in your part of the country.
