Michigan car insurance is the priciest in the U.S.

The Detroit Free Pres reports:

Michigan drivers aren't just dodging potholes; they're also combating the nation's most expensive car insurance, according to the latest report.

Michigan drivers pay 136% above, or more than double, the national average of $815 a year, according to a report by insuranceQuotes.com.

And Wayne County is the most expensive county within the most expensive state. Car insurance costs $2,789, or 45% more in Wayne County than the statewide average of $1,923, according to a report by insuranceQuotes.com.

Sky-high auto insurance rates aren't anything new to Michigan consumers.

But the report might add fuel to the argument that the state can no longer afford top-of-the-line coverage.
