We shop 25+ carriers to find Warren County drivers the right coverage at the best price — one call, no pressure, no run-around.
Your auto insurance should fit your driving habits, your vehicles, and your budget — not whatever is cheapest on a comparison website. At Michael Insurance Planning, Jeff Michael works with over 25 carriers to match Lebanon and Warren County drivers with policies that actually protect them.
Unlike captive agents locked into a single company's rates, we compare the market on your behalf. That means better coverage options and prices you cannot get by going direct — and a local team in your corner when it matters most.
Covers damage from accidents, weather events, fire, and theft — regardless of who is at fault.
Bodily injury and property damage coverage required by Ohio law — protecting you if you cause an accident.
Covers your medical bills and vehicle damage when the at-fault driver has no insurance.
Pays the difference between your remaining loan balance and what your car is worth if it is totaled.
Keeps you moving with a rental vehicle while your car is in the shop after a covered claim.
Towing, battery jump-starts, flat tire service, and lockout assistance when you need it.
Captive agents can only quote one company. We compare rates across the market so you get the best available coverage and price — without spending hours making calls yourself.
When an accident happens, you want someone who knows your name and your policy. Our team advocates for you from the first call through the final settlement.
Your life changes — a new vehicle, a new driver in the house, a change in your commute. We review your auto coverage every year and shop for better options when they exist.
Ohio’s Financial Responsibility Law sets the floor for every driver registered in Warren County. These are legal minimums — not recommendations. The Ohio Department of Insurance is explicit that they are “the bare minimums,” and that you would need considerably more coverage to pay for a serious crash.
Covers injuries you cause to other people. A single overnight hospital stay can exceed this.
Covers damage you cause to someone else’s vehicle or property. Roughly the price of one new mid-size car.
Not required by law. Your carrier may offer it, and you can decline it — but it is what pays when the at-fault driver has nothing.
Being uninsured for more than 30 days can get you classified as a high-risk driver, which follows you well past reinstatement.

I have been with Michael Insurance for 34 years handling our auto & homeowners insurance. Always professional & always very helpful when life throws you a curve ball. I highly recommend them. Thank you Jeff for all you do!
I switched to Michael Insurance 9 years ago. The service is great. They have access to many carriers with options that suit me, not the big insurance companies. Jeff and Lisa always find the best pricing. I couldn’t be happier.
We’ve been with Michael Insurance Planning for nearly 30 years. They handle everything - medical, business, home, and auto. As brokers, they represent the client - not any single insurance company. That distinction matters.
Ohio’s Financial Responsibility Law requires bodily injury liability of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident, plus $25,000 per accident in property damage liability — commonly written as 25/50/25. The Ohio Department of Insurance describes these as bare minimums. Most Lebanon drivers we work with carry meaningfully higher limits, because if a claim exceeds your limits you are personally responsible for the difference, and your wages and assets can be pursued to cover it.
No. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is optional in Ohio — your carrier may offer it, and you are allowed to reject it. We generally encourage Warren County drivers to keep it. It is the coverage that responds when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough of it, and it is usually one of the least expensive lines on the policy.
Only if you carry the right coverage. Uninsured motorist property damage (UMPD) is a separate optional coverage that pays for physical damage to your car when an uninsured driver is at fault. Collision coverage would also respond, subject to your deductible. If you carry liability only, neither applies and the repair is yours to pay for. This is one of the most common gaps we find when reviewing a policy someone brought over from a direct writer.
There is no single answer — your premium depends on your driving record, vehicle, age, coverage limits, deductibles, and credit-based insurance score, and carriers weigh those factors very differently from one another. The Ohio Department of Insurance notes that Ohio has some of the lowest auto insurance rates in the country. Because we are an independent broker with access to 25+ carriers, we quote your exact profile across the market rather than against a single company’s rating formula. Call 513-932-7111 and we will run it.
Yes. An SR-22 is a certificate your insurer files with the Ohio BMV proving you carry the required liability coverage, typically after a lapse, a DUI/OVI, or a serious violation. We handle SR-22 filings alongside our other bond services and can usually turn them around quickly so you can get your license reinstated.
Yes, and it is usually the single largest discount available to a Lebanon household. Because we represent 25+ carriers, we can run your auto and home together and separately, then show you the total both ways — sometimes the best auto carrier and the best home carrier are not the same company, and splitting them wins even after losing the bundle credit. We do that math for you rather than assuming the bundle is automatically cheaper.
