Minimum Coverage Requirements in Arkansas

Drivers with DUI convictions, suspended licenses for habitual offenses, at-fault accidents without insurance, or multiple serious violations typically must file SR-22 proof of financial responsibility with the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration. The SR-22 filing requirement in Arkansas typically lasts 3 years from the violation date or reinstatement date, and any lapse in coverage during this period restarts the clock.

Liability Insurance

Arkansas requires every driver to carry at least 25/50/25 liability limits. Many non-standard carriers in Arkansas require higher limits (50/100/50 or greater) to write SR-22 policies, particularly after DUI or multiple violations.

SR-22 Filing

SR-22 is not insurance but a certificate filed by your carrier proving you maintain continuous coverage. Arkansas law requires SR-22 for DUI convictions, driving while suspended, accumulating excessive points, or causing an accident without insurance.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Arkansas does not mandate uninsured motorist (UM) coverage, but insurers must offer it at the same limits as your liability coverage. For high-risk drivers already paying elevated premiums, UM coverage adds modest cost but protects against uninsured at-fault drivers — critical if you've already dealt with one license suspension and can't afford another hit to your record.

Full Coverage

Full coverage (liability plus collision and comprehensive) is required if you finance or lease a vehicle.

Non-Standard Auto Insurance

Non-standard carriers specialize in high-risk profiles: DUI, suspended license, SR-22 filings, multiple violations. These carriers typically charge higher base rates but will write policies that standard insurers decline.
