Idaho Car Insurance Laws
Liability insurance is required by Idaho law. Your minimum
policy coverage is $25,000 per person for injuries and deaths,
up to a total of $50,000 for all victims of an accident, and
$15,000 for property damage.
Idaho car insurance companies also offer
uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. The coverage
pays for
your medical and car repair bills caused by a hit-and-run
driver, a motorist without liability insurance or when your
claims are higher than the other driver's liability coverage.
