If you’re in Alaska, your monthly cost for full coverage car insurance is $185, which adds up to $2,215 per year. For minimum coverage, expect to pay an average of $35 monthly, or $415 a year.

Insurance companies calculate your premiums based partly on where you live. They consider factors such as traffic and accident rates, the number of car thefts in your area, and how expensive it is to repair your vehicle.

If you live in a busy city with heavy traffic and high theft rates, you’ll likely pay more for car insurance than someone in a rural area with fewer cars on the road and lower accident risks.

Other than location, your age, driving history, credit score and ZIP code also influence your insurance rates.

Average car insurance cost in Alaska

If you live in Alaska can expect to pay an average of $185 per month for full coverage car insurance – that’s $2,215 per year. If you opt for your state’s minimum required coverage, your insurance cost drops to $35 monthly or $415 annually. Just keep in mind that opting for minimum coverage means significantly less protection if you’re in an accident.

However, how much you actually pay for coverage can vary based on several factors, such as your age, driving history, credit score, ZIP code and the type of car you drive.

Insure.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to calculate average auto insurance rates for vehicles from 2006 to 2023.

Our hypothetical driver is a 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/50 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $50,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage.

Rates for vehicles up until 2023 includes uninsured motorist coverage (since some states require it, we do it for all) and PIP or Medical Payments, if it is required by state law. This hypothetical driver has a clean record and good credit.

For liability 100/300 is rates the same hypothetical driver but with liability limits of 100/300/50, uninsured/underinsured motorist in matching amounts and PIP or MedPay, if required by state. We recommend limits this high, even if you have only liability coverage. A state-minimum policy includes only the basic state liability limits and any other state-required coverages, such as uninsured motorist or PIP.

Averages were calculated using data from six large carriers, such as Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm. Rates were averaged across multiple ZIP codes and insurance companies. Average rates are for comparative purposes; your rate will depend on your personal factors.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in Alaska

The cost of your car insurance also depends on the coverage levels you choose.

If you opt for just the minimum coverage required by your state, you’ll pay $35 per month, or $415 per year. It’s a low-cost option, but keep in mind that it won’t pay for any repairs to your own car if you’re in an accident.

For solid protection, full coverage might be the right choice. It includes liability coverage along with collision and comprehensive insurance. Collision coverage covers damage to your vehicle from accidents, irrespective of fault. Comprehensive coverage protects against non-collision events like theft, vandalism or weather events.

In Alaska, the average cost for full coverage is $185 per month, or $2,215 per year

While it’s more than what you’d pay for minimum coverage, the added protection can be worth it, especially if your car is of significant value.

Coverage limitsAverage annual cost
State minimum liability-only$415
Liability only$542
Full coverage$2,215
Non-owner state minimum liability$168

Car insurance rates in Alaska by city

Average car insurance cost in Alaska by city

Because car insurance rates vary by location, the city you live in also affects how much you pay. If you’re in cities like Anchorage, Fairbanks or Palmer, you’ll likely see higher premiums because of high traffic and accident rates, and greater risk of theft or damage.

On the other hand, drivers in cities like Ketchikan or Juneau pay significantly low insurance rates, on average between $1,811 and $1,834 a year. Insurers typically charge lower premiums in these cities due to fewer accidents, lower population density, vehicle theft and vandalism rates.

Ketchikan$1,811
Juneau$1,834
Sitka$1,855
Kenai$2,088

Average car insurance cost in Alaska by age

Age is one of the most important factors insurers consider when pricing car insurance. Young drivers usually pay more because insurers see them as higher risk due to their limited experience behind the wheel.

Premiums are typically most expensive for teens, begin to decrease after age 25, and then rise again as drivers enter their 70s.

Here’s a breakdown of what you might pay for full coverage in Alaska, based on age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Alaska for young drivers

If you’re a younger driver, expect to pay higher premiums on your car insurance.

Insurers consider young drivers risky because of the increased risk that comes with limited driving experience.

For instance, a 20-year-old male driver in Alaska pays an average of $5,101 annually for car insurance, compared to $4,270 for a female driver of the same age.

By age 25, car insurance premiums typically decrease to $2,709 per year for male drivers and $2,470 for female drivers. While still slightly above average, it’s a substantial drop from what drivers pay in their early 20s.

Age of driverAverage annual cost for Male driversAverage annual cost for Female drivers
20$5,101$4,270
21$4,101$3,649
22$3,661$3,251

However, you can still lower your premium by keeping a clean driving record and taking advantage of senior discounts.
