These insurance companies typically look at many factors when determining a car insurance rate and driving experience of the driver can be one such factor. Age may also be a rating factor and typically at around age twenty five auto insurance premiums will drop compared to a driver who is 16 to 24 years of age.
If you are a newly licensed motorist at age of twenty five then your car insurance rates in Grand Rapids, Michigan will be higher than others that have been driving for nearly ten years but may not be as high as a newly licensed driver at the age of sixteen, since you may be thought of as more mature.

The Michigan Financial and Insurance services Insurance Eligibility fact sheet states that insurance carriers can turn you down for car insurance if within the past three years you have been found guilty of DUI or driving under the influence of drugs or alcohols.
Since your OWI should be on your Michigan driving history for a minimum of ten years if an insurance carrier asks you about violations in on your motor vehicle record or if you have been convicted of such an offense then you will need to tell your insurance company of your OWI conviction. If you fail to do so and they later see it on your MVR then the car insurance quote amount you were given will likely be inaccurate since you did not provide them all the information they need to give you an accurate insurance rate quote.
