Rep. Annette Glenn today said drivers in Midland and Bay counties will soon see the financial benefits of car insurance reforms approved earlier this year by the Michigan Legislature.

The Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association announced it will charge a $100 per vehicle assessment for the year-long period beginning July 2, 2020. That is down from the current $220 per vehicle – a 55 percent savings and a direct result of reforms supported by Glenn.

“Michigan drivers have faced some of the highest car insurance rates in the nation for a long, long time – but relief is finally in sight,” said Glenn, of Midland. “This MCCA rate reduction is a real, tangible sign of the financial benefits that will come with our car insurance reforms. It’s one of my highest priorities because it’s one of the highest priorities for Midland and Bay county families.”

The MCCA said the $100 per vehicle assessment — the lowest rate since 2003 — will be charged only to drivers choosing to maintain unlimited lifetime personal injury protection benefits in their car insurance policies. Drivers who choose lower coverage limits under Michigan’s revised no-fault insurance law will avoid the fee altogether.

The current $220 fee is assessed on all insured vehicles.
