How Much More Does Better Coverage Cost in Idaho Falls?

The full-coverage package doubles the per-person injury limit, triples the per-crash limit and doubles the property damage limit, and it raises uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage to 100/300. Allstate, Farmers and Safeco charge less for 100/300/100 than for 50/100/50 for our benchmark driver.

How to Lower Your Car Insurance Rate in Idaho Falls
- Compare State Farm and GEICO first. They have the two lowest full-coverage averages among insurers open to all drivers in our Idaho Falls table, about $111 and $121 a month.
- Quote several insurers. In our Idaho Falls data, the lowest and highest insurer averages are about $130 a month apart for the same driver and car.
- Keep proof of insurance on your phone. Idaho accepts an electronic image as proof, under Idaho Code 49-1232, and if the DMV sends you an insurance letter, answer it with proof of coverage so your registration isn’t suspended, according to the Idaho Transportation Department.
- Compare at every renewal. Since November 2025, Allstate has raised its average 6.4%, Farmers 3.4% and State Farm 3.1%, so the order in our table can shift.
- Bundle your car and home insurance. Many insurers discount both policies when you buy them together. Check Idaho home insurance rates before you shop.

How We Calculated Idaho Falls Car Insurance Rates
Insurers must file their rates and rating rules with each state’s insurance regulator. Quadrant Information Services uses those filings to calculate what each insurer would charge a specific driver, and InsuranceQuotes analyzes those prices. This page uses rates in effect on Aug. 31, 2026.
- Sample: 20 full-coverage premiums from five insurers across four Idaho Falls ZIP codes, plus the same number of liability-only and 50/100/50 premiums.
- Driver: a single 40-year-old driver, licensed 24 years, with good credit and no accidents or violations, driving a 2024 Toyota Camry LE they own, for personal use.
- Coverage: full coverage is 100/300/100 liability with $500 comprehensive and collision deductibles and 100/300 uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. We also price 50/100/50 with the same deductibles, and liability-only coverage at Idaho’s 25/50/15 minimum, with 25/50 uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage and no comprehensive or collision.
- Calculation: for each insurer we take its lowest eligible price in each ZIP code and average those prices across the ZIP codes. The overall average is the mean of every insurer-and-ZIP price. Monthly figures are annual premiums divided by 12 and rounded.
- Rankings: we name a cheapest insurer only where it’s priced in at least half the ZIP codes and its lead over the next insurer isn’t so wide that it looks like an outlier. Annual prices within 3% of each other are called effectively tied. An insurer marked * is named cheapest only when it’s priced below every insurer we rank and a published 2026 study we reviewed also ranks it cheapest.
- Rate changes: we compare the same insurer in the same ZIP codes, for the same driver and coverage, in rates as of Nov. 30, 2025, and Aug. 31, 2026. All five insurers are in both sets of rates. Rate-change percentages are calculated from the annual premiums shown; other percentages use the rounded monthly figures.
- Insurers marked *: priced from recent published Idaho rate studies, scaled to our benchmark driver. They aren’t included in our averages.
- What this isn’t: a quote. These are modeled prices for one driver profile, calculated from insurers’ rate filings. Your price depends on your ZIP code, vehicle, driving record, coverage choices and discounts.
Coverage requirements come from Idaho law and the Idaho Department of Insurance. We refresh these figures when new rate data is released.
