How To Get A Broad Form Insurance Policy in Washington and Idaho

The process of getting your quote for broad form insurance in Washington or Idaho is fairly simple. The more difficult process is determining if a broad form insurance policy is right for you. The coverage is very limited. Basically, your license is covered and nothing else.

First, decide what you actually need coverage for. You aren’t going to want broad form insurance if you plan on driving a motorcycle. If you don’t drive much, are a single person and you only have one car, then a broad form insurance plan may be the perfect option for you to get the coverage you need without having to pay for anything extra.

The key to broad form insurance is to understand that you are working with a policy that is super limited. There isn’t much coverage, and its the bare minimum required in Washington State. Keep in mind that there are those rare incidents where you may wish you had more coverage. That’s where we can help you.

BROAD FORM INSURANCE FOR WASHINGTON AND IDAHO

 What Is Broad Form Insurance? Washington and Idaho are one of the few states that allow Broad Form Insurance. This type of auto insurance provides only liability insurance and excludes every person besides the one who’s insured. This eliminates the variable risk for the insurer. You can add uninsured motorist coverage and personal injury protection to the policy. Basically, this is the bare-bones coverage for only you as the policy holder, no one else driving your car is covered.

MAIN POINTS OF BROAD FORM INSURANCE FOR WASHINGTON AND IDAHO:

1. If someone borrows your vehicle, they are not covered by your insurance, and you are still legally liable.

2. You will not be covered by insurance when driving a non-traditional vehicle, like an RV or motorcycle.

3. You will not be covered by insurance for any damage incurred to your vehicle in an at-fault accident.
