Being a &#8220;no fault&#8221; state, I didn&#8217;t want to get shafted.<\/p>\n<p>Esurance was pretty cheap, but it seems like they take your money and run.  But not before they raise your rates a few times.<\/p>\n<p>Allstate, AAA of MI, and Statefarm were all so expensive. I really wanted to switch to Statefarm since they took pretty good care of me after I got hit a while back.  Plus the agent here was really nice and helpful.<\/p>\n<p>I ended up settling with Costco&#8217;s AMEX insurance. Of course, they are changing their name to become a separate entity from AMEX.  Yay.  Total savings were: $2400 over the next 2 years for both of us. But not before taking it in the butt.<\/p>\n<p>I had to get a new MI license.  Easy enough, took about 20 min.  The nice lady handed me a piece of my old CA license stapled to a temporary paper license.  Those fuckers.  I should have given them my old expired one if I knew they would do that.  I was like, &#8220;Why are you cutting up my license?&#8221;  I really asked her as she did it. :rant:<\/p>\n<p>The next blow came as the insurance company needs me to kindly register my car in MI.
