Alaska Hired and Non-Owned Auto Coverage
Alaska’s DMV ties mandatory vehicle insurance to whether a vehicle must be registered. It also identifies communities exempt from both registration and the mandatory-insurance law, with a driving-history exception; check the actual routes and drivers your business uses instead of treating the statewide rule as uniform.
What Is Hired and Non-Owned Auto Insurance?
Hired and non-owned auto (HNOA) liability protects the business when rented cars or employees’ own cars are used for work. It does not pay for damage to those vehicles, and it is not a substitute for commercial auto on vehicles the business owns. Read the national Hired and non-owned auto guide.

What to Watch for With Hired and Non-Owned Auto in Alaska
Insurance rules can vary with the work location
Alaska DMV lists communities exempt from registration and mandatory insurance. If employees drive in several communities, identify each place of vehicle use and confirm which registration and insurance rules apply there. 2,1
A driver’s record can change the registration exception
The DMV says a driver with a ticket worth six or more points in the previous five years must have liability insurance even in an area where registration is not required. Ask employees and your broker how this rule affects the drivers assigned to remote-area work. 1
A state-law exception does not expand a policy
Alaska’s local registration exception describes when state mandatory insurance applies. It does not say whether a business policy covers work travel, a rented vehicle, or an employee’s personal auto; check the wording for each use. 1,2
Which Hired and Non-Owned Auto Providers Have Alaska License Records?
These providers publish a national listing for Hired and non-owned auto; the license records below name the licensed entities and roles. Some records rely on company-reported information rather than independent regulator verification. A national listing does not confirm the product is available in Alaska. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm state availability for your business when requesting a quote.
Corgi
Corgi Insurance Services, Inc.
Corgi’s company producer-license table lists 50 jurisdictions: 49 states and the District of Columbia, including DC license 3003091619. New Mexico does not appear in the table and is not included here; the omission does not establish that Corgi is unlicensed there. The company-reported table has no stated as-of date and does not establish product availability. 13
Corgi lists hired and non-owned auto liability for employees using rented or personal vehicles for company business.

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Alaska
Reported tax rate. 2.7% of gross premium less returns plus 1% filing fee; wet marine: 0.75%, no fee 7,6,8,9
For covered property and casualty surplus-lines risks, Alaska lists a 2.7% tax and a separate 1% filing fee on gross premium less returned premium. Qualifying wet-marine and transportation policies instead carry a 0.75% tax on gross premium and no filing fee; risks of state or local government and certain interstate aircraft are exempt from both tax and fee. A multistate placement is regulated under the insured’s home-state rules, and Alaska says to evaluate each policy’s home state separately.
- Alaska has a placement-list exception: If a risk appears on Alaska’s surplus-lines placement list, the Division says the broker does not have to canvass admitted insurers for declinations before placement; the broker must document the applicable list entry. 6
- Alaska has limited tax and search exceptions: The Division says qualifying wet-marine and transportation policies need no diligent search and pay no 1% filing fee. Tax and filing fees also do not apply to state or political-subdivision risks or qualifying interstate aircraft, although other placement requirements remain. 10
Questions to Ask Before You Buy Hired and Non-Owned Auto in Alaska
- Where will employees actually drive—only in a registration-exempt community, or also on roads and in places where registration is required?
- Does any employee who drives for the business fall under Alaska DMV’s six-point-ticket exception for a driver in an otherwise exempt area?
- Which policy and proof-of-insurance document should a worker carry when a trip crosses between exempt and nonexempt areas?
