About this coverage
Auto insurance in plain language
Auto insurance protects you from the financial fallout of a car accident, theft, hail damage, or an injury claim. The legal minimum in Arkansas keeps you legal, but it may not be enough to protect your paycheck, savings, or family assets after a serious accident.
We help you choose limits, deductibles, and optional coverages that match how you actually drive. That includes daily commuting, teen drivers, financed vehicles, older cars, rideshare use, and household members who may also need to be listed.
What an auto policy typically includes
Liability (Bodily Injury and Property Damage)
Pays for injuries and damage you cause to others. Required in Arkansas.
Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist
Protects you when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough.
Collision
Pays to repair or replace your vehicle after an accident with another car or object.
Comprehensive
Covers theft, vandalism, hail, deer strikes, and other non-collision damage.
Medical Payments
Helps cover medical bills for you and your passengers regardless of fault.
Roadside Assistance & Rental Reimbursement
Towing, lockouts, and a rental car while yours is in the shop.
Common auto insurance mistakes
Buying only the state minimum
Arkansas minimum liability limits can be exhausted quickly after a serious accident. Higher limits often cost less than people expect.
Skipping uninsured motorist coverage
If the other driver has no insurance or too little insurance, this coverage can protect you and your passengers.
Choosing a deductible you cannot comfortably pay
A higher deductible lowers premium, but it can create stress after a claim if the cash is not available.
Forgetting to list household drivers
Carriers expect to know who regularly lives in the home and may drive the vehicles. Missing drivers can cause problems later.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum auto liability required in Arkansas?
Arkansas requires 25/50/25 — $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage. These minimums are low; a serious accident can easily exceed them and leave you personally liable. We typically recommend higher limits.
Do I really need collision and comprehensive coverage?
If you finance or lease your vehicle, your lender almost always requires both. If you own your car outright, the choice depends on the car's value versus your deductible. We'll walk through the math with you.
Will my rate jump if I switch carriers?
Not necessarily. Many carriers offer a 'switch' or 'paid in full' discount, and your continuous coverage history travels with you. We'll show you the comparison before you decide.
I just got a speeding ticket. Should I shop around now?
Wait until the ticket is on your motor vehicle record (typically 30–60 days), then we can quote accurately. Shopping before the ticket posts can lead to rate adjustments later.
I need an SR-22. Can you help?
Yes. We work with carriers that file SR-22 forms with the Arkansas DFA. We'll let you know which carriers are most cost-effective for your specific situation.
My teen is about to start driving. What should I expect?
Adding a teen driver typically increases premium meaningfully — often 50–100% depending on the carrier and vehicle. Good student discounts, defensive driving courses, and choice of vehicle (no high-performance cars) can soften the impact.
