Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Covers injuries and property damage you cause to others in an at-fault accident. Idaho's 25/50/15 minimums are low compared to medical costs and modern vehicle values—senior drivers with retirement savings should consider 100/300/50 or higher to protect assets from lawsuit judgments.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Pays for your injuries and vehicle damage when an at-fault driver lacks insurance or flees the scene. Idaho does not require this coverage but insurers must offer it—you must decline in writing to opt out.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers non-collision losses including wildlife strikes, hail, theft, and vandalism. Idaho ranks among the highest states for deer, elk, and moose collisions—particularly dangerous on highways between Idaho Falls and Yellowstone, and along US-95 in northern counties.
Collision Coverage
Pays to repair or replace your vehicle after an at-fault accident or single-vehicle crash, minus your deductible. For senior drivers with paid-off vehicles worth less than $4,000, annual collision premiums plus the deductible often exceed potential payout.
Medical Payments Coverage
Pays medical expenses for you and your passengers regardless of fault, typically $1,000–$10,000 per person. Idaho does not require MedPay, and it functions differently than Medicare—MedPay is primary and pays immediately, while Medicare processes as secondary coverage after MedPay limits are exhausted.
Full Coverage
Combines liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage—the typical package for financed vehicles or newer cars. For senior drivers with paid-off vehicles over 8–10 years old, dropping collision while keeping comprehensive and high liability limits is often the most cost-effective approach.
