Cheapest Car Insurance in Boise

For this study, as stated in our methodology, MoneyGeek used average rates for a sample driver profile. The sample driver is a 40-year-old male driver with a full coverage policy.

A full coverage policy provides drivers with the best protection available. This type of coverage level is more expensive than the state minimum because it provides these additional coverages:

• Collision Insurance: Covers any type of damages as a result of a collision is paid for by this coverage.
• Comprehensive Insurance: Covers any type of damages that are not collision-based, such as theft, vandalism, natural disasters, riots, etc., will be covered by this insurance.

A full coverage policy is not the best choice all the time, especially for older cars in which the cost of premiums is more than the car is worth. That said, a state minimum policy may already be able to provide sufficient protection.

Auto insurance premiums in Boise and elsewhere vary based on the amount of coverage the policyholder buys.

That is $321 less than the average cost of a full coverage policy with higher liability limits, which is $745 per year.

Cheapest Minimum Liability Car Insurance in Boise

A state minimum policy offers the cheapest premiums but the least protection. While you could save on a monthly basis by paying the lowest premiums, you could be risking your hard-earned money in the long run. Say if you injure someone as a result of an accident and their medical bills are $35,000. If you have the minimum coverage of $25,000, you will pay $10,000 out of pocket to cover the difference.

A driving violation will cause your car insurance rates to go up. On average, these are the cheapest insurers for certain violations in Boise:

• Cheapest after a ticket: State Farm, $599 per year
• Cheapest after an at-fault accident: State Farm, $651 per year
• Cheapest after a DUI: State Farm, $599 per year

On average, USAA is the cheapest for drivers with speeding tickets and accidents. However, these policies are only available to military families. It makes sense to buy from companies like State Farm that offer the cheapest rates after a violation. Drivers in Boise could still lower their rates if they manage to show an improvement in their driving behaviors over time.
