FAQ's for Drivers in Bentonville, AR

What Is the Minimum Liability Coverage Requirement in Bentonville, AR?

Every vehicle owner in Arkansas must carry liability coverage in the amounts of $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 to cover damage to another’s property. Liability insurance pays for claims when an accident is your fault. You have the option of choosing higher limits than the minimum required by law.

Important optional coverages include uninsured motorist insurance, which covers you and your vehicle if you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured driver and the accident is his or her fault, and personal injury protection (PIP), which helps with lost wages and medical expenses.

• $25,000; Bodily injury coverage per person; Maximum payment for serious or permanent injury or death to a single person
• $50,000; Bodily injury coverage per accident; Maximum payment for serious or permanent injury or death to multiple people
• $25,000; Property damage per accident; Maximum payment for all damaged property in an accident caused by you

Although Arkansas does not require full coverage (collision and comprehensive), most vehicle finance lenders do require this level of coverage. If you elect not to purchase full coverage, your lender may purchase it on your behalf and charge you for it. This is typically a much more expensive way to go than purchasing the insurance yourself.
