RegistrationInsurance Requirements

You will be required to obtain proper Idaho insurance when you choose to register your vehicle. This is a necessary requirement with the purpose of reducing the number of uninsured drivers on the road, which can often result in high costs, if you are involved in a vehicle accident.

Your insurance company will issue you proof of insurance by providing you an Idaho insurance ID card that you must keep to present when needed. When you go register your vehicle, you will need to have your vehicle insured. By signing the vehicle registration application, you are asserting that your vehicle is properly insured in the state of Idaho.

In order to be able to apply for your vehicle registration it will be mandatory that you obtain liability insurance for your vehicle before you are allowed to register and legally drive it without any consequences. If you are involved in a car accident, it is important that all damages or injuries you cause someone else can be paid for without causing you financial difficulty. This is the primary purpose of liability insurance.

TipIf you have any questions or concerns about a license that was suspended due to lack of vehicle insurance in Idaho, make sure to con-tact the Idaho Transportation Department at 208-334-8000.

Whenever you purchase insurance for your vehicle in Idaho, the insurance company will be required to provide you with uninsured and underinsured coverage as a part of your liability policy. Uninsured and underinsured policies cover any medical or other expenses you procure when you are involved in an accident. This will provide you with the same amount of coverage as the required minimum insurance for bodily injury as set by the state of Idaho. Coverage for property damage is also often offered.

Your liability insurance must be an Idaho state insurance coverage; out-of-state insurance plans will not be accepted. The insurance plan must be maintained valid even when your vehicle is no longer in use.

In the event that you are pulled over by a police officer or are asked to provide proof of your vehicle insurance, and you are unable to provide it or you do not hold any of the required vehicle insurance policies, you will possibility face financial and legal consequences. Penalties include to six months in jail, as well as being required to provide proof of future financial responsibility by obtaining an SR-22 certificate.

VehicleSafety Tips

Before you get behind the wheel, it is important to make sure that your vehicle is safe and prepared for any trip. This means checking the safety features and making any needed changes to your vehicle to guarantee a safe drive. Be sure to regularly check that your brakes are functioning properly and your tires are inflated and not worn out. Have the steering and suspensions checked by a mechanic.

Emergency Kit One of the essentials to safe driving is having a basic emergency kit available in your vehicle at all times. This kit should include items such as water, extra batteries, rope, First Aid items, matches and a whistle. During the winter months, it is also important to carry items such as blankets, non-perishable foods, a shovel and extra gloves and socks.


Winter Driving One of the most dangerous times to drive is during the winter, especially if you live in an area that is prone to ice and snowfall. Consider the tips below to drive safely during the winter.

Don’t Rush!

Roads are often covered in snow and ice after snowfall. Instead of driving fast and risking an accident as you hurry to get to your destination, try leaving a few minutes earlier than usual. This will allow you to drive slower and avoid other dangerous drivers without being late for your appointment.

Don’t Panic if You Skid or Slip

In the event that your vehicle does skid or slip while you are driving, make sure you do not panic and slam down on your brakes. Instead, apply slow and even pressure on your brakes until you stop. This will prevent you from spinning further out of control.

Check Your Vehicle

Before you leave your house, make sure your vehicle’s controls, brakes, tank, tires, antifreeze and exhaust are all in working order. It is also important that you remove any ice and snow from your car before you begin driving. This prevents the snow from blocking your view while you drive or flying off and hitting someone while the vehicle is in motion.


Things to Avoid Drinking and Driving

Every year, thousands are killed as a result of drinking and driving. These unfortunate events can be prevented if drivers plan ahead of time and take certain steps.

Before you begin drinking, arrange for someone else to be the designated driver. If they also become intoxicated, it is important that you take a taxi. Never allow someone drunk to drive. Instead, take away their keys and call for alternative transportation.

If you see someone who you suspect is drunk and showing signs of intoxication while driving – such as making wide turns, weaving, swerving, breaking erratically or turning abruptly – call 9-1-1 and contact authorities immediately. Make sure to avoid them on the road to ensure your own safety. This could mean you pulling over until they are at a safe distance from your car.

Using Your Phone

Driving while using your cell phone is one of the most dangerous actions you can perform. During those few seconds that your attention is diverted to your phone, a major accident could occur. Make sure to avoid texting, using the internet on your phone or receiving calls while you drive.

Aggressive Driving

Aggressive driving and drivers should both be avoided to prevent on-road aggression or accidents. Aggressive driving is categorized as exhibiting behaviors such as tailgating, verbally or physically harassing another driver or preventing another driver from merging or passing.

If you are an aggressive driver, you are putting others at risk every time you engage in any of the above behaviors. When you encounter a frustrating situation on the road, instead of becoming aggressive, take a moment, breathe and continue moving.


Wasting Gas

If you drive often, you can start looking for ways to save on those expensive trips to the pump. Some of the ways that you can start saving gas are by turning off the air conditioning, not leaving your engine running and avoiding speeding. These things are preventable and not necessary for you to drive. Therefore, you can quickly reduce the amount of gas you waste.

Another way to save on gas is to make sure that your vehicle is functioning properly. You can do this by checking that your tires are properly inflated and your engine is properly tuned.
