Idaho has lost 22 insurance carriers since 2023 due to wildfire risk, and many remaining companies have raised rates or stopped writing new policies in high-risk areas. Rates in Caldwell increased 8-10% in 2025 primarily due to wildfire reinsurance costs. Even though Caldwell's rates remain below the national average, the trend is upward as insurers reassess their exposure to Idaho's changing climate.
Yes, standard homeowners insurance policies in Idaho cover wildfire damage, including both fire and smoke damage. However, securing coverage in high-risk areas is becoming more difficult as insurers tighten underwriting standards. Creating defensible space around your home and using fire-resistant materials can help you maintain coverage and potentially lower your premiums.
It depends on your location. Standard home insurance doesn't cover flooding from rising water or overflowing rivers—you need a separate flood policy through FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program for that. If your property is in a low-lying area prone to flash flooding or near the Boise River, flood insurance is worth considering. Check FEMA's flood maps to see if you're in a high-risk zone.
Homes built before 1980 typically cost 15-20% more to insure due to outdated wiring, older roofing materials, and lack of modern safety features. For a home with an average premium of $1,396, that could mean an extra $200-$280 per year. Upgrading electrical systems, replacing the roof, or installing fire-resistant materials can help reduce your premium over time.
First, don't panic—you have options. Shop around immediately with other carriers, including regional insurers that specialize in Idaho. Consider improving your home's risk profile by creating defensible space, upgrading your roof, or installing a security system. If you can't find coverage in the private market, Idaho's FAIR Plan provides basic coverage as a last resort, though it's typically more expensive and offers less protection.
Yes, bundling your home and auto policies with the same carrier typically saves 15-25% on your premiums, which can add up to hundreds of dollars per year. Most major insurers offer bundling discounts, and some also provide additional savings for claims-free history, home security systems, or new roofs. Always compare bundled quotes from multiple carriers to find the best overall deal.
