Average cost of car insurance Alaska

Full coverage costs more than liability-only, but for most drivers, the additional protection is worth it. Liability-only policies cover injuries and damage you cause to others, but don’t pay for your own vehicle. Full coverage adds collision and comprehensive, protecting you against accidents, theft, weather damage, and more.

In Alaska, the average cost of full coverage is $219 less compared to the national average

We recommend carrying coverage limits of 100/300/100 – $100,000 in bodily injury per person, $300,000 per accident, and $100,000 in property damage liability. These higher limits help protect you financially in severe accidents.

What is full coverage car insurance?

Full coverage includes liability, collision, and comprehensive coverage. Collision covers your car if it’s damaged in an accident, while comprehensive applies to damage from non-collision events such as theft, fire, or hail.

If you finance or lease your vehicle in Alaska, your lender may require both collision and comprehensive coverage in addition to state-mandated liability insurance.

The bottom line on saving and staying protected

It’s natural to look for ways to lower your insurance costs, but cutting corners on coverage can leave you financially vulnerable after an accident.

Make sure you choose a policy that balances affordability with protection. Always compare quotes from at least three companies to find low-cost car insurance in Alaska.

Methodology

Insure.com gathered data from Quadrant Information Services to get car insurance rates in Alaska. The rates are based on a sample profile of a 40-year-old male and female driving a Honda Accord LX with a good insurance score and no violations on record for a full coverage insurance policy with limits 100/300/100 and $500 comprehensive and collision deductibles.

We analyzed 53,409,632 insurance quotes from 170 insurance companies across 34,588 ZIP codes nationwide.

To determine car insurance rates for high-risk drivers with a history of traffic violations, we used a sample profile of a 40-year-old male and female driver who own a Honda Accord LX.

We also used sample profiles of drivers from different age groups: Teen drivers (Age 16-19), young drivers (Age 20-24), adult drivers (Age 25-60) and senior drivers (Age 65-75)

We determined the premiums for a high-risk driver with the following incidents applied

  1. 1 At-fault property damage accident over $2K
  2. 1 At-fault property damage accident under $2K
  3. At-fault bodily injury accident
  4. Poor credit
  5. DUI/DWI first offense
  6. Speeding 30+ over limit
  7. Speeding ticket 1-10 MPH over limit
  8. Speeding ticket 11-29 MPH over the limit

These are sample rates, and your exact rates may vary.
