How Bankrate chose the best car insurance companies in Alaska

To find the best car insurance in Alaska, Bankrate’s insurance editorial team first reviewed average premium data from analytics company Quadrant Information Services. However, our time as licensed agents taught us that drivers know that the cheapest coverage isn’t always the best for their individual needs.

In addition to rates, we analyzed digital tool availability, financial strength, corporate sustainability initiatives and more. Then, we distilled this information into a proprietary Bankrate Score (with 5.0 being the best score possible). With this, we hope to give our readers a quick and easy way to evaluate insurance companies while they shop around.

How much is car insurance in Alaska?

Full coverage Alaska auto insurance rates are slightly below average, at $2,330. For comparison, the 2024 national average is $2,545. However, Alaskan drivers with minimum coverage fare a little better, with an average premium of $498 per year. This is 33 percent less than the average annual minimum coverage rate of $741. These rates make sense — Alaska’s low population density could mean fewer-than-average at-fault accidents (and liability claims). However, Alaska’s harsh weather might lead to quite a few comprehensive claims, narrowing the gap between the state and national average full coverage premiums.

Alaska’s unique geographic location makes it difficult to compare its rates to those of nearby states, but for the sake of comparison, let’s consider Washington and Oregon. The average full coverage rate in Washington is $1,674, with minimum coverage averaging $563. Oregon’s rates are similar to Washington’s, at $1,956 and $789, respectively. Alaska’s severe winters, coupled with a higher-than-average cost of labor and repairs due to its remote location, could be driving up the state’s car insurance premiums.

Methodology

Bankrate utilizes Quadrant Information Services to analyze the latest rates in February 2024 for ZIP codes and carriers in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Rates include the most recent approved rate changes filed by insurance companies that affect our profile. These revised rates are then weighted based on the population density in each geographic region so that policyholders can see the impact rates have in their areas. Quoted rates are based on a 40-year-old male and female driver with a clean driving record, good credit and the following full coverage limits:

  • $100,000 bodily injury liability per person
  • $300,000 bodily injury liability per accident
  • $50,000 property damage liability per accident
  • $100,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per person
  • $300,000 uninsured motorist bodily injury per accident
  • $500 collision deductible
  • $500 comprehensive deductible

To determine minimum coverage limits, Bankrate used minimum coverage that meets each state’s requirements. Our base profile drivers own a 2022 Toyota Camry, commute five days a week and drive 12,000 miles annually.

These are sample rates and should only be used for comparative purposes.
