Minimum Coverage Requirements in Arkansas

The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration oversees insurance regulation and maintains a list of approved course providers through the Arkansas Insurance Department.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers injuries you cause to other drivers. Arkansas's minimum 25/50 limit is below the national median, and may be insufficient if you cause a serious accident on I-40 through Little Rock or Highway 71 in Northwest Arkansas, where traffic density has increased significantly in recent years. Seniors with retirement savings or home equity should consider 100/300 limits to protect assets in the event of a lawsuit.

Property Damage Liability

Covers damage to another driver's vehicle or property.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers non-collision damage including hail, falling tree limbs, and animal strikes. Arkansas experiences frequent severe thunderstorms with large hail, particularly in spring months across central and northern counties, and deer collisions are common on rural routes in the Ozarks.

Collision Coverage

Pays for damage to your vehicle after an accident regardless of fault. If you still carry a loan or lease, your lender will require this coverage.

What Affects Your Rate
