What an ignition interlock costs in Alaska
Verified · next review
Alaska does not publish a price, so the honest answer is the national one: NHTSA puts installation at $70 to $90 and monitoring at about $70 a month, roughly $3 to $4 a day. A quote far above that is the provider's, not the state's.
Three charges make up the bill, not one: fitting the device, keeping it on the car, and taking it out at the end. Over a full term the monthly fee is the bulk of it, which is why a cheap installation on a long requirement costs more than a dearer one on a short.
Alaska publishes no figure, so here is the national one
NHTSA puts installation at $70–$90 and monitoring at about $70 a month, roughly $3–$4 a day. Only 14 jurisdictions publish their own numbers or cap what a provider may charge; Alaska is not among them, so a quote well above the national range is the provider’s decision rather than the state’s.
What decides the total in Alaska
The monthly fee matters less than how long you pay it, and that is set by the requirement rather than the provider. In Alaska a first offense carries set by the court at sentencing: it must order a device, the length depends on how many previous DUI or refusal convictions you have, and the court may exceed the statutory minimum at its discretion The programme is run by Alaska DMV, Driver Services, on the court judgment, which is also who decides whether a recorded event extends it.
That is the part worth budgeting for: events add months, and months are what the bill is made of. What counts as a violation → · All Alaska rules and centers →

Cost questions in Alaska
How much does an ignition interlock cost in Alaska?
Alaska does not publish a price, so the honest answer is the national one: NHTSA puts installation at $70 to $90 and monitoring at about $70 a month, roughly $3 to $4 a day. A quote far above that is the provider's, not the state's.
Does Alaska cap what a provider can charge?
No. Alaska does not publish provider prices at all, so the quote is the price. That is the argument for getting two of them: nothing constrains what a provider asks, and in states without a cap the same brand quotes differently in different cities.
What else does Alaska charge on top of the device?
We have no separate state fee schedule on file for Alaska. Reinstatement and licensing charges usually sit outside the interlock program itself — check with Alaska DMV, Driver Services, on the court judgment before you budget.
Where can I have an interlock fitted in Alaska?
We index 74 certified installation points across 29 Alaska cities. Book with a provider the state approves rather than the nearest pin on the map: time on an unapproved device does not count toward the term.
