Idaho Select Insurance

What Idaho Select Insurance does

Idaho Select Insurance is an independent insurance agency headquartered in Meridian, Idaho, founded in 2015 and operating as Idaho Select Insurance LLC. The agency sells personal and commercial insurance—including auto, home, life, commercial, boat/watercraft, flood, motorcycle, renters, and umbrella coverage—by shopping rates across multiple national and regional insurance carriers on behalf of clients. Revenue is generated through standard insurance carrier commissions on bound policies, and pricing is quote-based with monthly billing, with no publicly disclosed rates. Customer segments are individual consumers and families seeking personal lines and small business owners needing commercial coverage, primarily in Idaho's Treasure Valley and surrounding Pacific Northwest / Mountain West states.

The business is sales-led and executed through licensed insurance agents via phone (208-473-2406), text (208-273-8994), email, and in-person consultations at the Meridian office at 3023 E Copper Point Dr, Suite 203. The team consists of 1–10 employees, including five named agents: Tony Ferguison, Ben Mock, JC Drake, David Sanders, and Nick Brady. Carrier partnerships span Progressive, Travelers, Safeco, Auto Owners, Acuity, Foremost, Hagerty, Mapfre, Mutual of Enumclaw, National General, and CUIC, and the agency is licensed to serve Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Utah, and Arizona. There is no proprietary technology stack, mobile application, or API; the agency relies on standard carrier-rating tools, a marketing website with quote request forms, an educational blog, and organic social media presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment or parent company, and ownership appears to rest with the founding agents. There are no public funding rounds, M&A activity, or regulatory actions on record. Marketing is dominated by content (blog and website) and organic social channels, with an Expertise.com award badge as the primary third-party credential.

Broad incumbents

• Brown & Brown: Brown & Brown is a national insurance brokerage distributing personal, commercial, and specialty lines through a network of producers. It is comparable to Idaho Select in its multi-line independent distribution model, though it operates at vastly greater scale and as a publicly traded firm.
• Arthur J. Gallagher & Co. Arthur J. Gallagher is a global insurance brokerage and risk management firm. It overlaps with Idaho Select in the personal and small-commercial agency/brokerage function and multi-carrier distribution, but with much broader capabilities and enterprise-scale resources.
• Hub International: Hub International is a large insurance brokerage placing personal and commercial coverage through multi-carrier relationships. It shares Idaho Select's commission-based intermediary model and broad product offering, but with national/international scale and institutional ownership.
• Marsh McLennan: Marsh McLennan is the world's largest insurance broker with personal, commercial, and reinsurance distribution. It overlaps with Idaho Select in acting as an intermediary between clients and carriers across multiple lines, but at enterprise scale and with significant institutional infrastructure.

Emerging players

• Insurify: Insurify is an insurance comparison and acquisition platform aggregating quotes from multiple carriers via a digital interface. It is comparable to Idaho Select as a multi-carrier distribution channel, but operates purely online without the in-person agent relationship that defines the agency.
• The Zebra: The Zebra is a digital insurance comparison platform letting consumers quote auto, home, and other lines across multiple carriers online. It competes with Idaho Select on the 'multi-carrier shopping' value proposition, but bypasses the licensed-agent relationship in favor of self-service digital quoting.

Direct peers

• Brightway Insurance: Brightway Insurance is a large franchise-based independent insurance agency distributing personal and commercial lines across multiple carriers. It mirrors Idaho Select's independent agency model and commission-based revenue structure, but at significantly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Goosehead Insurance: Goosehead Insurance is a publicly traded independent insurance agency that aggregates multiple carriers through franchise and corporate agents. It is highly comparable to Idaho Select because both operate under the same multi-carrier independent agency model, offering personal lines and earning carrier commissions.

Regional players

• Leavitt Group: Leavitt Group is a large, family-owned network of independent insurance agencies operating across the western U.S. It is comparable to Idaho Select as a regional independent agency serving personal and commercial clients with multi-carrier access, though with substantially greater headcount and resources.

Others

• Trusted Choice: Trusted Choice is a national branding and referral network for independent insurance agents. It is thematically related to Idaho Select as an ecosystem organization supporting independent agencies, but does not itself underwrite or distribute policies.
