State Law Guide
Many F&I products allow cancellation for a pro-rata refund, but the contract, product type, timing, claims, and state law all matter.
Idaho Extended Warranty Cancellation Guide
Under Idaho Motor Vehicle Service Contract Act, Idaho gives you the right to cancel and receive refunds on F&I products. You have a 30 days free look period for full refunds. Dealers who fail to comply face A civil penalty of $1,000 per violation, capped at $25,000 for all like violations, at the Director of Insurance's discretion (Idaho Code § 41-6211(3)); the Act creates no separate private cause of action but preserves Idaho Consumer Protection Act claims (§ 41-6211(4)).
Quick Answer
Cancellation rights in Idaho depend on the product and contract. Upload yours to see which add-ons appear cancellable. During the first 30 days, you receive a full refund (minus up to $50 fee). You can sue in Small Claims Court for up to $15,000.
