• vehicle information (year, make, model, license plate number, and VIN) and
• car insurance company information (name of the company, policyholder’s name and address, policy period and number)

If you need to get a non owner SR22 insurance in Alaska, contact your car insurance company and see if they offer this type of insurance. Normally, you will be required to carry non owner SR22 insurance for a period of 3 years. Make sure that you do not let your sr22 insurance lapse to avoid having your license suspended again.

DUI and Car Insurance Rates Alaska AK

Reader’s Question:

What will happen if I get caught for DUI in Alaska? Will my car insurance rates increase?

Andy

Anchorage, AK

Driving under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or any other controlled substance is considered a serious offense by the United States government, and Alaska is not an exception. This particular offense has been increasing alarmingly in all states and has been responsible for causing thousands of death in the past year.

In Alaska, if a motorist is arrested for DUI, he or she is faced with criminal suit and administrative license action. Part of these penalties is the revocation of a motorist’s driving privileges. In Alaska, those who get caught for the first time for DUI face 90 days suspension of driver’s license. Aside from this, a motorist has to carry high-risk car insurance coverage for three years. Policyholders who have been cited for DUI are considered an unfavorable risk for any car insurance company. This infraction could result to increased premiums. Aside from the fact that high-risk car insurance already costs too much, a policyholder with DUI citation will be closely watched by any insurer to assess if a policyholder will still be maintained. An individual with this type of driving record may have a hard time renewing his or her insurance policy. Worse, complete cancellation of car insurance coverage will be considered if a policyholder proves to be a big liability to the car insurance company.

Comprehensive Insurance Claim Alaska AK

Reader’s Question:

I live in Alaska, and while my car was parked in the lot, a tree branch fell on the roof. Minor damage was sustained on the car, and I can do the repairs on my own. Do I have to shoulder the expenses for some things needed for the repair or will my auto insurance pay for that?

Henry

Anchorage, AK

As in any state, including Alaska, a car insurance provider will pay for this kind of damage only if you have the comprehensive insurance segment in your policy. Comprehensive insurance will pay if your car was vandalized, stolen, damaged by fire, flood, hurricane, car struck by a deer or damaged from a falling tree branch. If you have this section in your policy, then you can file the claim, so your insurer can reimburse what you already spent on repairs and possibly cover for the additional repairs needed.

But before filing an auto insurance claim, always bear in mind that a single call about a possible insurance claim will be duly noted and will be on your car insurance record permanently and may be considered a negative point against you. Auto insurance providers will see you as a liability to their company. This single call can even be a factor they would consider to raise your auto insurance premiums. So, you need to ask yourself if it would really be necessary to file for a claim.

Simply put, if you can shoulder the expenses without considerable financial difficulty, then filing that claim should be your last resort. It is always good to know how car insurance providers compute for your premiums. This way, you are in total control of your finances.

Car Insurance Premiums Alaska AK

Reader’s Question:

I am in the process of renewing my car insurance in Alaska. Should I expect higher premiums because I got involved in an accident?

Sharon

Anchorage, AK

It is most definite that your car insurance premium will increase after an accident whether or not you are at fault. For one, that puts you in the high risk category. And because that entails an additional demand in your car insurance premium against your existing coverage (that is, if you were underinsured at the time of the accident), the cost becomes more expensive, as you will be required to have coverage for another probable vehicular accident in the future.

As a reference, I believe it is just advisable that you consider the following coverage for your car and yourself. One, personal injury protection. This will cover the insured motorist for medical expenses and other damages such as opportunity cost of wage loss due to the accident. Two, uninsured or underinsured motorist. This will cover you in case the other party lacks the car insurance coverage that you need. Three, property damage, collision, bodily injury liability. This will cover expenses you, the people in your vehicle, and the people in the other vehicle might incur on medical bills and property damages.

Scout around Alaska for the most economical car insurance policy that will cover you substantially, or search online, because we really never know what could happen. It is better safe than sorry. I think a slight increase in your premium would not hurt you much.

Vehicle Insurance Coverage Anchorage Alaska AK

Reader’s Question:

What will happen if I drive without vehicle insurance? Does the state have a say whether a person should have auto insurance or not? I live here in Anchorage, Alaska.

Kim

Anchorage, AK

Hey there Kim! Are you driving? If you are, I think it’s high time for you to get an automobile insurance because not having one entails a lot of liabilities on your part if you get into an accident (especially if it’s your fault).

The thing about auto insurance is if you get involved in a vehicular accident and a police makes a run through on all your personal data, if he finds out that you are driving without insurance, you may be subject to penalties for violating specific laws in your state. You may want to check Anchorage, Alaska’s local government website to see what laws they have when it comes to driving. But most states require that you get covered by an auto insurance policy because it is their way of making sure that each person living in that state is protected.

Also, auto insurance is important because it acts as coverage from different types of liabilities such as medical costs, property damages, vehicular damages, etc. So if you get into an accident, you could expect your auto insurance company to take care of these damages as long as they are covered by your premium.

You could consult an insurance agent to know what kind of insurance policy you should get because there are a lot of factors to consider in choosing the right policy for you.

High Risk Driver Insurance Anchorage Alaska AK

Reader’s Question:

I just moved here in Anchorage, Alaska, and I bought a used car. what’s the difference between standard and nonstandard insurance? Or when do I apply for one and not the other? Which is better?

Karen

Anchorage, AK

Hello, Karen. Choosing between standard and nonstandard auto insurance is really not a matter of preference or cost-efficiency. The insurance companies will be the one to decide which one is most suitable to you. Standard insurance is the one we usually have. It’s for drivers with few violations, regular, virtually, risk-free jobs, healthy (or not very, very sick), etc. Basically, it’s what average Joes (and Joannes) like you and I purchase. Standard insurance costs less than non-standard insurance. Non-standard insurance is usually purchased by those with motor vehicle violations or have recently figured in an accident. if you have several minor violations, you will be a likely candidate for nonstandard car insurance.

If you figured in a DUI situation, the state will require you to have nonstandard insurance. Another reason why others have non-standard insurance is because of a high-risk job or lifestyle. A race car driver or a movie car-chase stuntman may not likely be offered standard car insurance because of the risks of their lifestyle. A person who owns a sports car will most likely be offered nonstandard auto insurance. This can also be influenced by the result of the medicals exam and background checks done by the car insurance company. Simply put, if you are deemed to be a high-risk driver, you will be offered nonstandard insurance. To check which one is suitable for you, you should contact an auto insurance company there in Anchorage, AK.
