What a dwi / dui costs in Idaho
| Typical fine | Up to $1,000 first offense, plus evaluation, program, and reinstatement costs |
|---|---|
| License points | No points — DUI carries direct suspension instead |
| Insurance impact | An Idaho DUI conviction typically doubles premiums and requires SR-22 filing for three years. |
| License risk | A failed evidentiary test triggers a 90-day administrative suspension with only 7 days to request a hearing; a first conviction adds a court suspension of 90–180 days (first 30 absolute) and up to 6 months jail exposure. |
Frequently asked questions
Very fast — you have just 7 days from service of the suspension notice to request a hearing on the administrative license suspension. That deadline alone is reason to get an attorney reviewing your case within days, not weeks.
An Idaho DUI case turns on evidence — the reason for the stop, field sobriety administration, breath test calibration and procedure. No attorney can responsibly quote a defense before reviewing that file, so the consultation comes first and the plan follows.
Idaho charges 'excessive DUI' at 0.20+, with stiffer mandatory penalties and a longer suspension. High-test cases still get defended — calibration, observation-period, and rising-BAC issues all still apply — but they need counsel early.
Some are — reductions to reckless or inattentive driving happen where the stop or the testing has problems, and suppression can end a case outright. Whether yours has that leverage is what the case review establishes.
