In 2007, the average premium for auto insurance in Anchorage was $1,152 per driver. The city also experienced  the theft of over 1,200 vehicles, high for the population.

Because of the cold weather, road maintenance is a challenge. Rain, snow, and freezing weather cause cracks to the road surface, while the long, dark winters make repairs difficult. Poorly repaired roads create additional driving expenses, affecting gas mileage, general wear and tear, and wear on tires. The pot holes and rough surfaces cause more frequent auto repair bills. The annual expense to Anchorage drivers for added vehicle operating costs due to bad roads is fairly high. The high insurance costs and vehicle operating costs combine to make Anchorage an expensive place to drive a car.
