Minimum Coverage Requirements in Alaska
SR-22 filing is typically required after DUI convictions, multiple moving violations within a short period, license suspensions, and at-fault accidents without insurance. The state uses a point system where accumulating 12 or more points in 12 months triggers a 30-day suspension. Most drivers with tickets or minor at-fault accidents face higher premiums but do not need SR-22 unless their violation resulted in suspension or a serious offense.

Liability Insurance
Covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others. Alaska requires 50/100/25 minimums, but a single serious accident can exceed these limits and expose you to personal liability.
Full Coverage
Combines liability, collision, and comprehensive to cover damage to your own vehicle. Required by lenders and lessors, and necessary if your vehicle is worth more than a few thousand dollars.
Non-Standard Auto Insurance
Policies designed for drivers with violations, lapses, SR-22 requirements, or suspensions. Non-standard carriers specialize in risk profiles standard insurers decline or price unaffordably.
SR-22 Insurance
A certificate your insurer files with the Alaska DMV proving you maintain minimum liability coverage. Required after DUI, suspension, or driving without insurance, typically for 3 years.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you if you are hit by a driver without insurance or with insufficient coverage. Covers medical bills and vehicle damage up to your policy limits.
Collision Coverage
Pays for damage to your vehicle after an accident, regardless of fault. Subject to your deductible, which you pay before insurance covers the rest.
