At an average of $110 per month, car insurance in Benton isn’t just a bill — it can be a significant slice of your budget. The cost is more than the national average of $136 per month.

But these high rates aren’t exclusive to Benton and are due, in part, to Arkansas’ alarmingly high traffic fatality rate, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).[1] This, combined with frequent weather-related claims, bumps rates above the norm.

Fortunately, you can save money on your monthly car insurance premiums in Benton by comparing quotes from several companies.

Quick Facts
  • State Farm, USAA, and GEICO offer the cheapest car insurance rates in Benton.

  • Benton drivers pay $87 per month for liability coverage and $134 per month for full-coverage insurance, on average.

  • Full-coverage insurance costs Benton drivers an average of $1,608 per year.

  • Our editorial team spent more than 350 hours developing the Insurify Quality (IQ) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. The team weighted criteria by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.

    We rate each company on a 1 to 10 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. Insurify updates ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.

    • Third-party financial ratings: Insurify uses data from AM Best, S&P, Moody’s, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims.
    • Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 55,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also consider third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
    • Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the U.S., as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
    • Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer's transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
    • Availability and reach: Insurify scores availability and reach by identifying the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share.

I have not had to make a claim yet, but in the three years we have lived in Arkansas, our car insurance has been terribly high. We also have homeowners insurance. It has gone up so high that we are reaching the point of having it pulled way back to about nothing. I have a really hard time believing that both of these are appropriate. I have seen our insurer's new office. It is ridiculously fancy. While we struggle out here, the prices just keep going up. It greatly saddens me that they are this way.

I went to switch to Progressive, who saved me a considerable amount of money, but when my wife got on with Geico to cancel, they said we were on an old system and she could beat Progressive by $100. My wife said yes, and we are paid for the year. I would have happily paid Progressive the extra $100 to get away from Geico.

If you have an accident claim, you better hope you have video footage of every second. We got hit from behind and the person fled the scene. I hit the person in front of me, and they didn't have damage, so they left. There was nothing I could do. I hadn't even thought about taking photos yet. It took 4 months for them to come to an arrangement for us and ended up telling me that they don't believe someone hit us from behind, so they weren't covering that damage. And since I hit the person in front of me from the impact, I now have an "At fault" accident on my record. The claims people were hard to get a hold of. If I mentioned getting a lawyer, they'd respond quickly. Yes, they have cheap monthly payments, but that's because they won't pay out if you have an accident.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Benton

Insurers consider your driving history, vehicle type, gender, marital status, and even your credit history when quoting your coverage. Some of these factors are outside of your control, but you can lower your car insurance rates by following these tips:

  • Don’t just take the first quote you receive. Shop around and compare quotes from different insurance companies to find the best rate for you.

  • Boost your deductible. Policy changes to increase your deductible can lower your premiums, but be sure your deductible is an amount you can comfortably pay in case you need to file a claim.

  • Personalize your policy. Only buy coverage that fits your specific needs rather than paying for a “one-size-fits-all” policy.

  • Ask for discounts. Explore all available discounts from your insurer. For instance, Arkansas requires discounts to be available for college graduates, people older than 55, and people who take defensive driver courses.

  • Stay safe behind the wheel. A clean driving record can lead to lower rates, protecting you on the road and protecting your finances.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in Benton: State Farm

Liability-only car insurance is the most basic form of auto coverage. It protects other drivers and their property if you’re at fault in an accident, paying for the cost of injuries or damages you cause. It’s important to note that liability-only insurance doesn’t cover damage to your own car or medical expenses if you’re hurt. It also doesn’t cover the costs associated with theft, vandalism, or natural disasters.

With an average cost of $87 per month, liability coverage is a cost-effective option for Benton drivers, and the table below shows Benton’s cheapest options for liability insurance.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in Benton: State Farm

Full coverage bridges the gap where liability coverage stops short. A full-coverage policy includes collision and comprehensive insurance, protecting your vehicle from collisions with other cars, vandalism, theft, natural disasters, and more.

This type of coverage is especially beneficial for drivers with newer or higher-value cars, people with outstanding auto loans, or anyone looking for extra peace of mind on the road.

With an average premium of $134, full coverage is pricier than liability. But rates can vary by insurance agency, as you’ll see in the table below.

Car insurance requirements in Arkansas

Arkansas laws have a few specific rules you should know about. First, if you’re in a car accident, you have a three-year window to file a lawsuit for any injuries you might have from it.[7] The state also has a “modified comparative fault” rule. This means you can get financial recovery in a lawsuit if you’re less at fault than the other driver.

To drive legally, you must carry a minimum amount of auto insurance coverage. Arkansas requires a 25/50/25 policy for bodily injury and property damage liability, as outlined in the table below:[8]

Coverage
sort ascsort desc
Minimum Requirements
sort ascsort desc
Bodily injury liability$25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident
Property damage liability$25,000

While basic insurance covers the essentials, several coverage options are available that offer additional layers of protection. Here are some you might consider:

Auto insurance companies use your driving history to gauge how likely you are to file a claim in the future, and incidents generally suggest a higher probability of your filing future claims. But it’s possible to find reasonable rates, even with a blemished driving record.

The table below illustrates how different driving incidents can affect the rates you pay in Benton.

Average cost of car insurance by age

Car insurance costs can vary widely by age. For instance, teen drivers pay steeper premiums due to their lack of driving experience and higher risk of accidents. As drivers mature, rates tend to decrease. 

A significant drop happens around age 35, but rates typically climb again for drivers age 70 and older. Senior drivers have a higher crash death rate, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).[9]

Benton car insurance quotes by credit tier

Your credit history can influence how much you pay for auto insurance. Insurers are allowed to consider your credit history when deciding to issue or renew a policy, as well as how much to charge. The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act even lets insurers review your credit history without your permission.

Companies link credit scores to the likelihood of filing claims. As a result, higher credit scores can lead to lower premiums, while poor credit scores can hike up your car insurance bill. The table below shows what you might pay based on your credit tier in Benton.
