What Is Drive Insurance from Progressive?
Drive Insurance was launched by Progressive in September 2004 as a distinct brand for the independent insurance agency channel. From 2004 through 2007, Drive Insurance was sold by independent agents across most US states. In 2007, Progressive consolidated its brand strategy.

Progressive Coverage in Alaska: What It Costs
Progressive is A Plus Insurance’s highest-volume carrier in 2026. Alaska is a meaningful market for us, with the Matanuska-Susitna Borough being one of our highest-volume Alaska areas.
Matanuska-Susitna Borough
$120-180
The Mat-Su Borough (Wasilla, Palmer, Big Lake) is our largest Alaska market by sold volume.
Anchorage area
$130-200
Anchorage’s higher traffic density and urban risk profile drives averages slightly above Mat-Su.
Fairbanks / Interior
$110-170
Lower traffic but higher comprehensive risk from animal strikes and severe winters.
Juneau / Southeast
$100-160
Juneau’s smaller road network and unique geography shapes underwriting.
Alaska-specific note: Alaska requires higher minimum coverage (50/100/25) than most states. Many AK drivers also carry higher comprehensive limits because of moose strikes, severe winter weather, and remote vehicle recovery costs.

Why an Independent Agent Matters in Alaska
Fewer carriers in Alaska
Many national carriers don’t write Alaska business. Progressive does, alongside a handful of other carriers we represent.
Borough-specific underwriting
Anchorage, Mat-Su, Fairbanks North Star, and other boroughs have different risk profiles. Progressive prices each differently.
Same Progressive product, broker pricing
When Progressive IS the right answer for your AK profile, the rate through A Plus is identical to Progressive Direct.
