Coverage That Fits How You Ride
From weekend trail rides in the Ozarks to hunting property use and off-road recreation across central Arkansas, ATV and recreational vehicle insurance helps protect both your machine and your liability. These vehicles aren’t usually covered by standard auto or homeowners policies, which is why specialized coverage matters. At Reba Cook Insurance Agency, we explain options in plain English and shop multiple carriers to build coverage around how and where you ride.
Do I Need Insurance for an ATV or Side-by-Side in Arkansas?
Arkansas doesn’t generally require insurance for ATVs used on private property. However, insurance becomes especially important if:
- You ride on trails, cross roads, or transport your ATV
- Others ride on your property
- The vehicle is financed or stored off-site
- You want protection from theft or storm damage
Even when it’s not legally required, ATV insurance can help prevent costly out-of-pocket losses.
What ATV & Recreational Vehicle Insurance Can Include
Liability Coverage
Helps cover injuries or property damage if someone is hurt while riding your ATV or on your property.
Comprehensive Coverage
Protects against theft, fire, vandalism, and certain weather-related losses — whether the ATV is in your garage, campsite, or storage facility.
Collision Coverage
Helps repair or replace your ATV after an accident or rollover.
Uninsured / Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Seasonal & Storage Considerations

Built for Arkansas Recreation
ATV owners across Arkansas use their vehicles differently — from trail riding in the Ozark and Ouachita regions to working land, hunting property access, and weekend trailering. We’ll help you review storage locations, theft risks, and usage patterns so your coverage fits your real-world activities.
