Idaho law requires all drivers to carry auto insurance with minimum liability coverage for both bodily injury and property damage. While you may choose higher limits for added protection, the state mandates the following minimums to legally operate a vehicle:
| Coverage Type | Idaho Minimum Limit |
|---|---|
| Bodily Injury Liability | $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident |
| Property Damage Liability | $15,000 per accident |
Liability coverage is the only type of auto insurance the state requires, as its primary purpose is to protect other drivers and their property in the event of an accident. Keep in mind that while liability coverage provides a strong foundation, many drivers choose to build on it with additional coverage options that focus more on protecting their own interests.
Liability coverage serves as the protection that pays for injuries or damages you cause to others in an accident. This coverage includes two parts: bodily injury liability, which helps pay for medical expenses, lost wages, or legal fees if you injure someone else in a crash, and property damage liability, which covers the cost of repairing or replacing another person’s vehicle or property. For example, if you run a red light and injure another driver, your bodily injury liability coverage would help pay for their hospital bills, while your property damage liability would step in to cover the repairs to their car.
Most Boise drivers choose to include optional add-ons with their personal auto insurance that go beyond the state’s basic requirements. These additional coverage options allow policyholders to focus on their own protection, ensuring they’re prepared for the various situations that can arise while on the road.
Some of GEICO’s additional coverages include:
The average cost of car insurance in Idaho is generally lower than the national average, thanks in part to the state’s smaller population, less congested roadways, and lower accident frequency compared to more urbanized areas. However, while these statewide factors influence overall pricing, your personal rate is far more affected by individual factors such as your driving experience, claims history, and the level of coverage you choose.
