Arkansas rules that apply
Proof-of-insurance filings after a DUI or serious violation are set by court or motor vehicle agency order. Confirm the exact form and period with the Arkansas Insurance Department.
Any policy you buy must meet Arkansas's minimum of 25/50/25 liability coverage.
How to lower the cost
- Keep continuous coverage. A lapse, especially with an SR-22, restarts problems with the state and raises future prices.
- Compare several insurers — companies weigh violations very differently, and some specialize in high-risk drivers.
- Take a state-approved defensive-driving course where it earns a discount or removes points.
- Consider higher deductibles or liability-only coverage on an older car to offset the surcharge.
- Violations age off: most surcharges fade after three to five clean years.

Frequently asked questions
How much does SR-22 insurance cost in Jonesboro?
The SR-22 filing itself usually costs a small one-time fee; the real cost is the higher premium that follows the violation. We estimate about $890 a year for minimum coverage after a DUI in Jonesboro, and $705 after an at-fault accident.
How long do you need an SR-22 in Arkansas?
The court or motor vehicle agency order sets how long proof of insurance must be filed. Confirm the exact form and period with the Arkansas Insurance Department or your insurer.
Can I get SR-22 insurance without a car?
Yes. A non-owner policy with an SR-22 filing covers you when you drive borrowed or rented vehicles and satisfies the filing requirement in most states that use SR-22.
How we estimate this
We start from the state's average liability, collision and comprehensive premiums published by the NAIC, then apply a location factor (population density and commute time from the Census ACS, weather hazard scores from FEMA's National Risk Index), a vehicle factor (HLDI insurance-loss data where available, otherwise vehicle segment), and a driver-profile multiplier. Results are rounded ranges for comparison, not quotes. Read the full methodology.
