What are Alaska's car insurance requirements?
Alaska's minimum car insurance requirements include liability coverage limits of at least:
- $50,000 in bodily injury liability
- $100,000 in total bodily injury per accident
- $25,000 in property damage liability
These are just the minimum liability coverage limits that Alaska drivers must have. If you really want to cover your assets, you should increase your liability limits, or obtain umbrella insurance, rather than purchase other car insurance coverages.

Consider comprehensive and collision coverage
Most lenders require comprehensive coverage and collision coverage if you're financing or leasing your vehicle. But even if you own your vehicle outright, these coverages may be worth adding to your policy. If your car is stolen or damaged in a collision or other covered event, these coverages will help pay to repair or replace your vehicle.

There are 15,718 miles of public roads in Alaska, but only 31% of those roads are paved. Rough terrain means drivers need to drive defensively and be prepared for accidents or damage on the road.
