Insure.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to calculate average auto insurance rates for vehicles from 2006 to 2023.

Our hypothetical driver is a 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/50 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $50,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage.

Rates for vehicles up until 2023 includes uninsured motorist coverage (since some states require it, we do it for all) and PIP or Medical Payments, if it is required by state law. This hypothetical driver has a clean record and good credit.

For liability 100/300 is rates the same hypothetical driver but with liability limits of 100/300/50, uninsured/underinsured motorist in matching amounts and PIP or MedPay, if required by state. We recommend limits this high, even if you have only liability coverage. A state-minimum policy includes only the basic state liability limits and any other state-required coverages, such as uninsured motorist or PIP.

Averages were calculated using data from six large carriers, such as Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm. Rates were averaged across multiple ZIP codes and insurance companies. Average rates are for comparative purposes; your rate will depend on your personal factors.

How much does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in Idaho?

Car insurance rates in Idaho vary widely based on your vehicle’s make and model. Insurance companies consider multiple factors, including the make and model of your car, to determine premiums.

A full coverage car insurance policy in Idaho for a Honda Accord LX costs $1,505 annually, whereas a Honda CR-V costs $1,247 to insure in Idaho – a difference of $258.

Does your car’s model year affect insurance rates in Idaho?

In Idaho, as in most states, your car’s model year can impact your insurance rate. For example, the average annual premium for a 2023 Honda Accord LX is $2,487, compared to $1,477 for the 2024 model.

Quick tip: Know your state’s minimum insurance requirements before you buy

Car insurance requirements vary by state. In Idaho, you must have at least the minimum liability coverage to drive legally. This typically includes:

  • Bodily injury liability per person and per accident
  • Property damage liability

These limits are just the minimum required by law-many drivers opt for higher coverage to ensure better financial protection after an accident. Driving without the required coverage in Idaho can result in fines, license suspension or vehicle impoundment.

Auto insurance premiums vary significantly from city to city, so drivers need to be sure they’re getting the best deal. Insure.com has done the research for you. Get more information on auto insurance rates by city below.

How your car’s trim affects insurance rates in Idaho

Your car’s trim level plays a big role in determining your insurance premium. Insurers consider the vehicle’s value, repair costs, safety features and theft risk when setting rates. Higher trims with upgraded technology or powerful engines often have higher premiums since they’re more expensive to repair or replace.

For example, a 2023 Honda Accord LX costs $2,487 per year to insure in Idaho, whereas the EX-L trim costs $2,139, a difference of $348 annually.

Trims that include luxury upgrades, like a premium sound system, often cost more to insure because they raise the vehicle’s overall value. Similarly, performance-focused trims with larger engines may increase premiums due to a greater risk of accidents or speeding.
