Boise, Idaho (November 16, 2012) — State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, the largest insurer of autos in the nation, is decreasing its overall rate level in Idaho an average of 0.5 percent effective December 3. This represents an annual savings of over $400 thousand to the company’s Idaho customers.
After this rate change is implemented, State Farm’s overall rate level in Idaho will be 16 percent lower than it was 6 years ago.
The cost of the Liability, Medical Payments, Comprehensive, and Collision coverages will go up for some policyholders and down for others. Overall premium changes for individual motorists will vary depending on factors such as the coverages they carry, the discounts for which they qualify, where they live, the kind of car insured, who drives it, and how much it is driven. The comprehensive coverage pays for losses from such perils as theft, storm damage, fire, vandalism, and glass breakage. As part of this rate change, Idaho policyholders may be able to exercise even more control over how much they can save on their auto insurance with our Drive Safe and Save™ program.
About one in every five cars insured in Idaho is insured by State Farm.
