The cheapest car insurance in Idaho is State Farm, at $102 a month for full coverage among the four insurers we compared. Anyone hunting for the cheapest Idaho auto insurance finds it there at every package: $96 for 50/100/50 and $25 for Liability Only 25/50/15, in all 75 ZIP codes we priced. The gap is wide: Farmers, the next full-coverage price, is $46 a month higher.
Most states split their wins among two or three companies. Idaho does not: one company sweeps every ZIP code at every package. The four-insurer ranking is State Farm, Farmers, Safeco and Allstate. A fifth company, Farm Bureau of ID Group, priced all 75 ZIP codes as well but is shown in a separate box that stays out of the ranking and the averages. Progressive and GEICO are not in our Idaho data.
Where you live still matters. Boise’s 83706 runs $133 a month for full coverage, while Orofino’s 83544 runs $182, and for liability only the order nearly reverses. All 75 ZIP codes are in one table.

Equals Idaho’s liability limits
How much is car insurance in Idaho? Averaged over the four insurers we compared, the sample driver pays $156 a month ($1,868 a year) for full coverage, $157 ($1,881) at 50/100/50 and $44 ($533) at Liability Only 25/50/15. State Farm’s full-coverage price sits $54 below that average and Allstate’s $68 above it.
Liability Only 25/50/15 sits right at Idaho’s legal floor
Idaho requires 25/50/15, and the Liability Only 25/50/15 package is priced at exactly that level: $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 per crash and $15,000 for property damage. That makes $25 a month from State Farm the lowest price we found for state minimum liability (25/50/15). Step up to 50/100/50 ($96 at State Farm) and every limit rises while collision and comprehensive come with it.
Idaho’s 25/50/15 Liability Limits Beside Our Three Packages
Under Idaho Code 49-117, an Idaho driver must carry liability limits of 25/50/15: $25,000 for one person hurt, $50,000 for everyone hurt in a single crash and $15,000 for other people’s property. We used those exact numbers for Liability Only 25/50/15. The 50/100/50 package uses $50,000, $100,000 and $50,000, and full coverage uses $100,000, $300,000 and $100,000. The two larger packages also include collision and comprehensive with $500 deductibles.
| Limit | Idaho law | Liability Only 25/50/15 | 50/100/50 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Per injured person | $25,000 | $25,000 | $50,000 |
| Per crash, all injured | $50,000 | $50,000 | $100,000 |
| Property damage | $15,000 | $15,000 | $50,000 |
| Your own car | Not liability | Not covered | Covered |
| Satisfies Idaho’s limits? | Baseline | Yes, equal | Yes, above |
Farm Bureau of ID Group: shown separately
Farm Bureau of ID Group priced all 75 Idaho ZIP codes too. We keep it out of the ranking, the averages and every table, and show its prices here instead: $145 a month ($1,737 a year) for full coverage, $137 ($1,645) for 50/100/50 and $33 ($397) for Liability Only 25/50/15. Each is higher than State Farm’s price for the same package: $102, $96 and $25. Its own quote may come out differently.
Average Cost of Car Insurance in Idaho
Averaging four insurers over 75 ZIP codes, car insurance in Idaho costs $156 a month ($1,868 a year) for full coverage, $157 ($1,881) for 50/100/50 and $44 ($533) for Liability Only 25/50/15.
That average conceals a wide spread. State Farm ($102), Farmers ($148) and Safeco ($149) all land under $156, and only Allstate’s $224 sits above it. Without Allstate, the other three average $133 a month for full coverage.
Is $200 a month a lot in Idaho? The lowest price in each ZIP code
Averages mix cheap and expensive companies, so we also took the lowest of the four full-coverage prices in each ZIP code. That lowest price is under $200 a month in 75 of 75 ZIP codes and under $150 in 75 of 75, and the largest of them is $117.
| Statistic | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|
| Smallest | $88 | $1,061 |
| Median | $101 | $1,212 |
| Mean | $102 | $1,222 |
| Largest | $117 | $1,399 |
| Idaho four-insurer average | $156 | $1,868 |
For scale, $200 a month is $44 over the four-insurer average of $156 and $98 over State Farm’s $102, yet no Idaho ZIP code needed more than $117 once its cheapest insurer was chosen. These are the cheapest offers by ZIP code among the compared insurers, not a typical driver’s bill.
Cheapest Idaho Auto Insurance at Each Coverage Level
State Farm is cheapest at all three levels, with Allstate at the other end each time. Second place changes hands: Farmers holds it at full coverage and Safeco at 50/100/50 and Liability Only 25/50/15.
The distances are large. At full coverage State Farm’s $102 compares with $148 for Farmers, $149 for Safeco and $224 for Allstate, so Allstate costs $122 a month more. At 50/100/50 State Farm’s $96 is $54 under Safeco’s $150. At Liability Only 25/50/15 its $25 is $7 under Safeco’s $32 and $32 under Farmers’ $57.
ZIP by ZIP the result is identical. State Farm is lowest in 75 of 75 at full coverage, in 75 at 50/100/50 and in 75 at Liability Only 25/50/15, and no other company is lowest in a single ZIP code. That holds for our one sample driver only; a different driver or car can reorder the list, so quote more than one company.

Cheap Auto Insurance Idaho Drivers Can Compare: Four Insurers, Priced
Four companies make up the Idaho ranking: State Farm, Farmers, Safeco and Allstate. Each returned a price in all 75 ZIP codes. The chart shows each one’s monthly full-coverage price for the sample driver, so the shorter the bar, the lower the price.
Farmers$148
Safeco$149
Allstate$224
Bars show 100/300/100 liability with $500 collision and comprehensive deductibles. Four-company average: $156 a month. Farm Bureau of ID Group is not charted; its prices are in a separate box.
| Company | Full coverage | 50/100/50 | Liability Only 25/50/15 |
|---|---|---|---|
| State Farm | $102 [$1,222] | $96 [$1,152] | $25 [$305] |
| Farmers | $148 [$1,778] | $154 [$1,846] | $57 [$679] |
| Safeco | $149 [$1,791] | $150 [$1,803] | $32 [$383] |
| Allstate | $224 [$2,682] | $227 [$2,722] | $64 [$767] |
| Idaho average | $156 | $157 | $44 |
Farmers and Safeco are close at full coverage, $148 and $149, a dollar a month apart. At Liability Only 25/50/15 they separate: Safeco is $32 and Farmers $57, $25 more. Allstate is the highest at every level, $224 for full coverage, $227 for 50/100/50 and $64 for Liability Only 25/50/15.
Which insurers are not in our Idaho data
We priced four companies, which is a short list. Progressive and GEICO are not in our Idaho data, so we say nothing about where they would fall. Whatever you decide, collect one more quote from an insurer you know, set to the same limits and deductibles as the others.
Choosing an Idaho Package: Liability Only, 50/100/50 or Full Coverage
Most of the extra cost arrives in the first step up. Moving from Liability Only 25/50/15 to 50/100/50 takes the Idaho average from $44 to $157 a month, $113 more ($1,348 a year). That one step buys higher limits and cover for your own car at a $500 deductible together, and because no priced policy has one without the other, the $113 cannot be divided between them. Idaho is unusual at the top of the range: full coverage averages $156 a month, a dollar below 50/100/50’s $157, because Farmers, Safeco and Allstate each returned a higher price for 50/100/50 than for full coverage. State Farm is the exception, $96 against $102. We report the prices as the data returned them.
Liability only can fit when
- No lender requires damage coverage on the car.
- Repairing or replacing the car out of pocket would not strain you.
- Liability limits at the legal floor of 25/50/15 suit your situation.
Full coverage earns its price when
- A loan or lease requires collision and comprehensive, which repair your car while liability pays others.
- You want protection well above the legal floor; our full-coverage package carries 100/300/100.
Compare the two larger packages directly. At State Farm full coverage costs $6 a month more ($70 a year). At Farmers it costs $6 less, at Safeco $1 less and at Allstate $3 less, so the broader package can be the cheaper one. Pricing only one of them can hide the cheaper choice.
Cheap Car Insurance in Idaho: Boise, Coeur d’Alene and the Rest of the State
Idaho shows up in our data as 32 counties and 75 ZIP codes. We rank a county only if at least three of its ZIP codes were priced; 8 counties qualify (Ada with 15, Canyon with 8, Kootenai with 7 and five smaller ones), and the other 24 appear unranked further down. County figures average the four insurers. See our Boise car insurance page for city prices.
Idaho’s 8 ranked counties, lowest full-coverage average first
| County (ZIPs priced) | Full coverage | 50/100/50 | Liability Only 25/50/15 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ada County (15) | $140 | $140 | $48 |
| Twin Falls County† (4) | $147 | $148 | $43 |
| Payette County† (3) | $150 | $151 | $44 |
| Canyon County (8) | $151 | $152 | $49 |
| Kootenai County (7) | $155 | $156 | $42 |
| Bannock County† (3) | $165 | $166 | $45 |
| Bonneville County† (4) | $166 | $167 | $48 |
| Bonner County† (3) | $177 | $179 | $41 |
| Idaho (75) | $156 | $157 | $44 |
Ada County, home of Boise, is the cheapest of the 8 for full coverage at $140 a month, and Bonner County† is the priciest at $177, $37 a month or $438 a year apart. Bonner and the other † counties rest on only three or four ZIP codes, so read them as small samples. Liability Only 25/50/15 does not follow that order. Bonner County† is the lowest of the 8 at $41, Kootenai County is next at $42, and Canyon County is highest at $49, just above Ada’s $48.
Boise, Meridian and Ada County
Ada County holds 15 of our 75 ZIP codes, and its full-coverage average of $140 a month runs $16 below the state’s $156. The nine cheapest full-coverage ZIP codes in Idaho are all Ada County ZIP codes, seven in Boise and two in Meridian, from Boise’s 83706 at $133 ($1,601 a year) up to Boise’s 83709 at $139. Boise’s 83705 and Meridian’s 83642 are second and third at $135 and $137. The county’s priciest ZIP code is Star’s 83669 at $148, and even that is under the state average.
Cheap for full coverage is not cheap for every package. Boise’s 83706, first for full coverage, is only 52nd cheapest of 75 for Liability Only 25/50/15, at $46 a month.
Nampa, Caldwell and Canyon County
Canyon County has 8 ZIP codes and averages $151 a month for full coverage, $11 above Ada County next door. It is the county where Liability Only 25/50/15 runs highest. All three Nampa ZIP codes are the three priciest in Idaho for that package: 83651 at $52 a month, then 83687 and 83686 at $51 each, even though 83651 ranks 37th lowest of 75 for full coverage.
Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls and Kootenai County
Kootenai County has 7 ZIP codes and averages $155 a month for full coverage, $42 for Liability Only 25/50/15. Post Falls’ 83854 is the cheapest of them at $141 and tenth-lowest in the state, followed by Coeur d’Alene’s 83815 at $145 and 83814 at $147. Sandpoint, in Bonner County†, is 83864 at $175; Priest River’s 83856 and Sagle’s 83860 are $177 and $178.
Pocatello, Idaho Falls and eastern Idaho
The Pocatello ZIP codes (83202, 83201, 83204) run $161 to $171 a month for full coverage, and the four Idaho Falls ZIP codes run $165 to $167. Both sit above the state average of $156. Bannock County† (Pocatello) and Bonneville County† (Idaho Falls) each have three or four ZIP codes in our data.
Counties with one or two ZIP codes
Just one or two ZIP codes were priced in each of 24 counties, too few to rank. Each entry gives the number of ZIP codes and the average monthly full-coverage price. Gem County (Emmett) is the lowest of them at $147 and Clearwater County (Orofino) the highest of any county at $182, but a single ZIP code cannot describe a whole county. Idaho County, home of Grangeville, simply shares its name with the state.
Benewah County (1) $174; Bingham County (2) $177; Blaine County (2) $152; Boundary County (1) $182; Cassia County (1) $153; Clearwater County (1) $182; Elmore County (1) $152; Franklin County (1) $176; Fremont County (1) $168; Gem County (1) $147; Gooding County (2) $148; Idaho County (1) $170; Jefferson County (1) $171; Jerome County (1) $148; Latah County (1) $164; Lemhi County (1) $169; Madison County (1) $170; Minidoka County (2) $153; Nez Perce County (1) $158; Owyhee County (1) $154; Power County (1) $169; Teton County (1) $173; Valley County (1) $153; Washington County (1) $157.
Cheapest and priciest Idaho ZIP codes
Boise’s 83706 has the lowest full-coverage price in Idaho, $133 a month ($1,601 a year), and Orofino’s 83544 the highest at $182 ($2,183): $49 a month, or $582 a year, between them. Bonners Ferry’s 83805 is second-highest at $182.
For Liability Only 25/50/15 the order nearly reverses. The cheapest ZIP codes are Bonners Ferry’s 83805, Hailey’s 83333, Ketchum’s 83340, Grangeville’s 83530 and Orofino’s 83544, all about $40 a month, while Nampa’s three ZIP codes are the highest at $52 or $51. The spread between the cheapest and priciest liability-only ZIP codes is $12 a month ($144 a year).

6 Ways to Lower Your Idaho Car Insurance Bill
- Start with State Farm, then add two more. It was lowest in every ZIP code we priced, though a different driver or car can reorder the list, so gather at least three quotes.
- Price 50/100/50 beside full coverage. At State Farm the two are $6 a month apart, and at Farmers, Safeco and Allstate full coverage is the cheaper of the two by $6, $1 and $3. All are small next to the $113 jump from Liability Only 25/50/15 to 50/100/50.
- Treat $25 as a floor, not a plan. Liability Only 25/50/15 meets Idaho’s 25/50/15 and nothing beyond it; your own car is not covered.
- Quote the address where the car sleeps. ZIP code alone swings full coverage by $49 a month in our data, so an office address answers the wrong question.
- Look outside our four. Progressive and GEICO are absent from our Idaho data, so quote either one if it is familiar.
- Ask about discounts. Bundling, paying in full and a higher collision and comprehensive deductible can each change a quote, and every company’s menu differs. Our figures use a $500 deductible.
Idaho Car Insurance Quotes: Keep Four Things the Same
Our prices describe one sample driver, so the quotes you gather will move with your car, record and address. Hold these four things constant while you compare:
- Liability limits: ask every company for the same limits, 25/50/15 or higher.
- Extra coverages: ask each company what its quote includes beyond liability and damage to your car.
- Deductibles: choose one collision and comprehensive deductible and use it with every company.
- Details: the same drivers, car and address everywhere.

Our Idaho Pricing Method: How We Priced Car Insurance
Quadrant Information Services runs each insurer’s filed Idaho rates and rating rules for one driver profile and returns a premium. Everything on this page uses the rates in effect on Sept. 30, 2026.
- Driver and car: the modeled driver is 40 years old and unmarried, has held a license for 24 years, has good credit and has no claims or tickets. The vehicle is a 2024 Toyota Camry LE driven for personal use, and no one else is rated on the policy.
- Coverage: three packages. Liability Only 25/50/15 takes the liability limits from Idaho law and omits collision and comprehensive. 50/100/50 means $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 per crash and $50,000 for property damage, plus collision and comprehensive with $500 deductibles. Full coverage keeps those deductibles and raises liability to 100/300/100. None of the packages includes personal injury protection or medical payments coverage, so no price here includes either.
- Sample: 75 ZIP codes in 32 Idaho counties. Each of the four ranked insurers returned a price for every ZIP code, which puts 300 prices behind each coverage level.
- Arithmetic: when an insurer returns several prices for one ZIP code, we keep the lowest. State, county and ZIP figures are simple means of the four ranked insurers. A monthly figure is the yearly premium over twelve, rounded to whole dollars, and a stated gap is the difference between two rounded monthly figures.
- Naming the cheapest: at every level the lowest average gets the name, provided that insurer priced at least half of Idaho’s 75 ZIP codes. A runner-up within a few dollars a month would be named too; in Idaho none is that close at any level.
- Shown apart from the ranking: Farm Bureau of ID Group, which returned prices for all 75 ZIP codes. Its prices appear only in its own box, never in a ranking, average, county figure or ZIP table.
- Left out, and nothing dropped: we removed no quote, county or ZIP code, so every price returned for the four ranked insurers is in the figures. Progressive and GEICO are not in our Idaho data. The 24 counties with one or two ZIP codes count toward the state averages without being ranked.
A modeled driver is not you: your own price will turn on your address, car, record, coverage choices and discounts.
Idaho Car Insurance FAQ: Prices, Limits and Rules
Is $200 a month a lot for car insurance in Idaho?
It is more than most Idaho drivers need to pay in our data. $200 a month for full coverage is $44 above the $156 average of the four insurers we compared and $98 above State Farm’s $102. In all 75 of our 75 ZIP codes the cheapest full-coverage price is under $200, and in all 75 it is under $150. Remember that this is the cheapest offer in each ZIP code among the compared insurers, not what the typical driver pays; the $156 average includes Allstate’s $224. Rates as of Sept. 30, 2026.
Who has the cheapest car insurance in Idaho right now?

No. Liability covers injuries and damage you cause to others; full coverage usually means liability together with collision and comprehensive, which pay for your own car.

The Insurance Information Institute explains liability, collision and comprehensive as separate parts of an auto policy.
Can insurers use my credit score to set car insurance prices in Idaho?
Yes, with limits. Idaho law bars an insurer from charging a higher rate or cancelling a policy based primarily on credit, and the highest-credit-tier premium may not be more than twice the lowest. We priced a driver with good credit, so a different credit profile could change your quote. Those limits come from Idaho Code 41-1843 and IDAPA 18.02.01, as summarized in the NAIC state chart on credit scoring.

Our prices assume a clean record, so we cannot say how much a filing changes a quote. The Idaho Transportation Department lists reinstatement fees of $85 for no insurance, $25 for failure to maintain an SR-22 and $285 for an Idaho DUI (ITD SR-22 reinstatement form).
