How to get the cheapest car insurance in Alaska
Insurance companies will conduct a risk assessment based on your driver profile to determine your insurance rates. Factors that comprise your risk level include age, location, driving history, claim history, and more.
If you’re in the market for car insurance, these are some of the best ways to get the most affordable prices:
Look for discounts. Whether you have multiple cars, are bundling insurance products, or are part of an affiliated group, there’s a discount for every driver and situation. Stacking deals can help you get the lowest rates on your insurance policy.
Maintain a clean driving record. People with clean driving records pay lower car insurance rates than people with an incident on their record. It’s important to adhere to your state’s road rules and remain vigilant on the road.
Increase your deductible. A higher deductible for collision or comprehensive coverage results in lower monthly premiums. If you’re considering increasing your deductible, be sure you can afford the out-of-pocket expense if you need to file a claim.
Compare quotes. You should get quotes from at least three different insurers. To get the most accurate comparisons, ensure your coverage types and levels are the same across each auto policy.
Cheapest liability-only car insurance quotes in Alaska: USAA
A liability-only policy covers the other party’s property damages and bodily injuries if you’re at fault in an accident. This insurance offers only the most basic coverage, so it’s usually a company’s most inexpensive policy.
Here are some of the cheapest car insurance companies for liability-only coverage in Alaska.
Insurance Company | Average Monthly Quote |
---|---|
USAA | $41 |
GEICO | $47 |
State Farm | $48 |
Allstate | $56 |
Progressive | $73 |
Cheapest full-coverage car insurance quotes in Alaska: USAA
While a liability-only policy pays for the other party’s losses when you’re at fault in an accident, full-coverage car insurance pays for your losses, regardless of fault.
A full-coverage insurance policy includes collision coverage, which compensates you for vehicle repairs if you collide with another vehicle or object. It also includes comprehensive coverage, which reimburses you for damage or losses related to theft, vandalism, weather damage, and other non-collision events.
If you commute frequently, drive in a high-risk area, or have an expensive vehicle, having full coverage may be worth it. Lenders may also require full coverage if you have a car loan or lease.
Insurance Company | Average Monthly Quote |
---|---|
USAA | $90 |
State Farm | $104 |
GEICO | $108 |
Allstate | $125 |
Progressive | $129 |
Car insurance rates fluctuate with age. Teen drivers pay higher premiums, as they’re more likely to be involved in accidents due to their lack of experience on the road.
While the cost of car insurance generally decreases around age 25, you may see your rates climb again around age 70. Despite more experience on the road, age-related conditions such as slower reflexes and decreased vision make seniors more statistically prone to accidents.
Car insurance requirements in Alaska
Alaska is a tort state, meaning all drivers must carry the state’s minimum liability coverage. If you’re not at fault in an accident, you can file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company to get reimbursed for medical bills and vehicular repairs.
The table below illustrates Alaska’s minimum coverage for bodily injury and property damage liability insurance.[1]
Coverage | Minimum Requirements |
---|---|
Bodily injury liability | $50,000 per person / $100,000 per accident |
Property damage liability | $25,000 per accident |
Car insurance financially safeguards you from the worst. Consider spending a few extra dollars on the following coverage options to stay fully protected:
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
If an at-fault party doesn’t have enough liability coverage, uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance lets you file a claim with your insurer to cover the expenses.
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage
If you or your passengers sustain injuries in a car accident, you can use PIP coverage to pay for medical expenses, lost wages, child care, and funeral costs.
Rental car coverage
Rental car insurance reimburses you for rental car expenses so you can get around while your vehicle is in the shop for repairs.
Cheapest car insurance in Alaska by driving record
Having a driving incident on your record, such as a speeding ticket, driving under the influence (DUI), at-fault accident, or other moving violation, can increase your car insurance premium because of the risk you pose to insurers. And if you’re convicted of a DUI, you may need to obtain an SR-22 certificate to reinstate a suspended license.
In Anchorage, drivers with an at-fault accident pay $70 more per month for car insurance than drivers with a clean record. The table below shows how Alaska liability insurance rates vary by different driving incidents.
Insurance Company | With Speeding Ticket | With At-Fault Accident | With DUI/DWI |
---|---|---|---|
State Farm | $117 | $155 | $131 |
GEICO | $118 | $157 | $133 |
USAA | $129 | $171 | $144 |
Midvale Home & Auto | $150 | $199 | $168 |
Progressive | $195 | $259 | $218 |
Allstate | $210 | $279 | $236 |
