Yes, you should seriously consider it. The White River affects a wide area during major flooding events, and more than 20% of flood insurance claims come from moderate-to-low-risk zones. The 2008 50-year floods and 2025 flooding from heavy rainfall show that flood risks extend well beyond the immediate riverfront. Since NFIP policies have a 30-day waiting period and average $1,244 annually in Arkansas, it's far more affordable than paying for flood damage out of pocket.
Arkansas experiences significantly higher risks from severe weather, particularly tornadoes and hailstorms that damage homes and vehicles. The state's exposure to these natural disasters drives premiums to $3,200-$4,100 annually, well above the national average of $2,110-$2,423. Insurers price policies based on the likelihood of claims, and Arkansas's severe weather patterns result in more frequent and costly claims than many other states.
As of January 1, 2025, Arkansas requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/25 ($25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $25,000 for property damage). The state also mandates $25,000 per person in uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. While these are the legal minimums, they may not provide adequate protection in serious accidents, so consider higher limits if financially feasible.
Renters insurance typically costs $15-30 monthly in Arkansas, making it one of the most affordable insurance products available. This covers both your personal belongings and liability protection if someone is injured in your rental unit or you accidentally cause damage to the property. Given that it costs less than most streaming services, it's an easy decision for protecting yourself financially.
No, NFIP flood insurance policies have a 30-day waiting period before coverage takes effect. You cannot purchase flood insurance when heavy rain is forecasted or flooding is imminent and expect immediate coverage. This is why you need to buy flood insurance well before severe weather season, not when you see flood warnings for the White River on the news.
Your credit score has a massive impact on insurance costs in Arkansas. Homeowners with poor credit pay an average of $10,896 annually for homeowners insurance, compared to just $2,356 for those with excellent credit—more than four times higher. Improving your credit score is one of the most effective ways to reduce your insurance premiums across all policy types.
