Commercial Auto Insurance in Idaho

Idaho requires vehicles operated on public highways to maintain insurance or an indemnity bond; the general liability minimum is $25,000/$50,000/$15,000. For haul-for-hire vehicles, ITD calls for Form E on intrastate registrations and BMC-91X on IRP registrations, with the insurer providing or verifying the filing and reporting subsequent cancellations. 1,2

What Is Commercial Auto?

Commercial auto suits businesses that use vehicles for work and need liability protection; damage to your own vehicles is a separate coverage choice. If employees drive personal or rented cars, check how those trips are handled. Read the national Commercial auto guide.

What to Watch for in Idaho

  • Registration And Operation Type Determine The Filing

    ITD requires Form E when a vehicle is registered intrastate with a haul-for-hire operation type; an IRP-registered haul-for-hire vehicle uses BMC-91X. Match every vehicle’s registration and operation type to the insurer’s certificate record. 2

  • Policy Cancellation Can Affect Vehicle Registration

    ITD says the insurer provides or verifies haul-for-hire certificates and later cancellations through Motor Carrier Services; the agency warns cancellation may result in registration revocation. Coordinate replacement coverage and the new filing before ending the existing policy. 2

  • Keep Proof Or The Indemnity Bond In The Vehicle

    ITD says public-highway vehicles must remain continuously insured or their owner must post an Idaho indemnity bond, and a copy of insurance proof or the bond must be carried in the vehicle. Put the current document with each truck’s registration materials. 2

  • The General Floor Does Not Identify A Haul-For-Hire Filing

    The DMV’s 25/50/15 floor is separate from ITD’s Form E or BMC-91X certificate process. Ask the insurer to confirm both the policy limits for the operation and the correct state filing for each registration type. 1,2

Who Regulates Insurance in Idaho

Idaho Department of Insurance

The Idaho Department of Insurance administers insurance laws and regulates insurers and licensed producers. It directs users to the NAIC State Based Systems lookup for producer and company licensing records and accepts consumer complaints. 3,7,4

Surplus-lines tax and stamping office

Reported tax rate: 1.5% of premium when Idaho is the home state for property and casualty coverage Idaho’s surplus-lines tax is 1.5%. For property-and-casualty insurance other than workers’ compensation, if Idaho is the insured’s home state the full premium is taxed regardless of where covered risks are located; other lines follow the statutory allocation rule. Surplus-lines policies do not receive Idaho guaranty-association protection. 5,6,8

Providers With Documented State Licenses

These providers publish a national listing for Commercial auto; the state records document licenses for the entities and roles shown below. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Idaho. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.

  • CorgiCorgi Insurance Services, Inc.Insurance producer · checked 2026-09-28Corgi’s company producer-license table lists 50 jurisdictions: 49 states and the District of Columbia, including DC license 3003091619. New Mexico does not appear in the table and is not included here; the omission does not establish that Corgi is unlicensed there. The company-reported table has no stated as-of date and does not establish product availability. 11
  • TechInsuranceSpecialty Program Group LLCInsurance producer · checked 2026-09-28TechInsurance’s current licensing page names Specialty Program Group LLC / SPG Insurance Solutions and lists state license numbers, but labels Rhode Island “Individual licenses” rather than identifying a license for the named agency. RI is omitted because this disclosure does not establish agency authority there; this is a search limitation, not an assertion that the company is unlicensed. The remaining state entries are company-reported and are not an insurance product availability map. 14

Questions to Ask Before You Buy in Idaho

  1. Is each haul-for-hire vehicle registered intrastate or under IRP, and does its file show Form E or BMC-91X as appropriate?
  2. Will our insurer send Motor Carrier Services an updated filing before the current policy ends?
  3. Does every public-highway vehicle have current proof of insurance or an Idaho indemnity bond in the cab?
  4. Which separate motor-carrier limit applies to our commodity, carrier type, vehicle size, and route?
