Why drivers pick Farmers
Agent-driven shop experience — Farmers agents commonly write commercial + personal + life policies for the same household, making it a one-stop carrier.
Where Farmers falls short
Higher posted rates than direct writers; bundle math has to work for Farmers to win on price.
Idaho minimum coverage requirements
- Bodily Injury Liability: 25/50 thousand per person / per accident

One of the cheapest states — low population density and low litigation rates keep premiums down.
