Arkansas Car Insurance Requirements

In Arkansas, state law requires all drivers to carry liability coverage to operate a vehicle legally. At a minimum, drivers must have:

  • Bodily Injury Liability: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
  • Property Damage Liability: $25,000 per accident

These coverages help pay for injuries and property damage caused to others in an accident.

Recommended Coverages for Arkansas Drivers

While the state minimum helps you stay legal, it may not provide enough protection in a serious accident. Many Arkansas residents choose additional coverages for better peace of mind:

  • Comprehensive Coverage – Pays to repair or replace your vehicle after non-collision events like theft, hail, falling trees, or fire.
  • Collision Coverage – Covers damage to your vehicle from collisions, regardless of fault.
  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage – Protects you if the other driver has little or no insurance.
  • Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Helps cover medical bills and lost wages after an accident.

If your car is leased or financed, your lender will likely require comprehensive and collision coverage.

Some drivers on the road may have little or no insurance. To protect yourself, you may want to add:

  • Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

These optional coverages can help if you’re in a crash with an underinsured or uninsured driver. In Arkansas, you must opt-out of these protections in writing when purchasing a policy.

No, state law does not require uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. However, insurance companies must offer it as part of their policies. To decline it, you’ll need to reject it in writing.

Keep in mind, if the other driver lacks proper insurance, you could be left paying out-of-pocket without these coverages.
