Coverage Your Landlord’s Policy Doesn’t Include
Many renters assume their landlord’s insurance covers everything inside the unit, but that policy typically only protects the building itself. Your belongings, liability, and temporary living costs are your responsibility. Ark Assurance Group helps renters in Tyler compare renters insurance options across multiple carriers so coverage fits your space, lifestyle, and budget. Whether you’re renting an apartment near downtown Tyler or a home in the surrounding East Texas area, this coverage helps protect what matters to you.
Real Feedback From Renters Across East Texas
I have been a client of Ark Assurance Group for many years. I am more than happy to share my experience with this company. My representative, Lisa Golden, has always graciously answered questions and provided documents to me. Her work ethic is faultless and her professionalism top notch. Debra G Martin
Lisa had been my aunts agent for several years. Durning her last year she spoke about different people that she interacted with. She mentioned Lisa several times and always talked about how well Lisa had done managing her account and that she had complete trust in her work. It’s nice to know that while she was sick and not always on top of her game that Lisa never took advantage of her situation. I am so thankful for her professional perspective and putting customers first.
If all customer service was handled by someone like Ms. Lisa Golden, the flow of business would be much smoother in all areas of service. Ms. Golden is prompt, thorough and very knowledgeable about her products. She is always ready to take my call; after which she quick to provide answers and the help that I needed. Many companies could learn a lot from Ms. Golden and Ark Assurance about what kind of service a person is seeking when they feel the necessity to reach out for "customer service".
I love Ark Assurance!! I appreciate their kindness and responding quickly and accurately to our auto and home insurance needs. Harriet is awesome! One of a kind with her outstanding knowledge and professionalism, I couldn’t ask for better customer service skills either!! Thank you Harriet for always helping us and putting us in the best policy for our needs!!
I have worked with Linda Tyler, an agent for Ark Insurance, for over 20 years with my insurance needs. When I have had a policy coming due for renewal and I give her a call, I find that she has already prepared my policy and it requires only my approval. When I first started with Ark Insurance I had a very special need policy as we had a motor coach that we transported 18-wheel drivers when they had accidents and injuries on the highway and could not travel in standard modes of travel, We had a carrier but they decided on their own that the risk was too great and dropped us. I called Ark and was welcomed with open arms. As a result I don’t question where I go for insurance as Linda makes sure we get the best deal. I would recommend Ark to meet anyone’s needs in the open market. Thank you Linda.
We have worked with ARK Assurance since 2004 when we moved to Tyler, TX and with Linda Tyler nearly that long! I never have to worry about anything with her. She always makes sure we have the best coverage while a reasonably low price too. If we have any problems, she is right on top of it for us. I wholeheartedly recommend Ark Assurance and especially Linda Tyler!
Lisa Golden has been my insurance lady for many years. She has always been responsive whenever I have needed her. She keeps our family first in her thoughts when looking for the best and most affordable coverage. I am very grateful for all she has done for us. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a great agent.
I worked with Lisa to get a quote and I have to say that she is the best person to work with. She was quick getting it back to me, professional, and really helped me understand what the best options were for me. If you're calling Ark Assurance, ask for Lisa and she will get you taken care of!

Anytime I have a problem she saves the day! :) I had an issue this past weekend with my car insurance with towing and I called Monday to try to get it straighten out, however, Lisa came in and did it way better! She got me my refund so quick. Would highly recommend them to anyone!!
Judson and Lisa were so helpful in getting me a better cost for my car insurance. Even though they couldn't get me house insurance for reasons out of their control, they took the time to tell me why and what I should look for in a group near the coast. They did all this in a timely manner. I highly recommend them.
The best insurance agent I have EVER had. Never an issue with communication, always returns phone calls and emails the same day. 3/6/23: Harriet and Deb were so helpful last week with two insurance issues we had. So grateful for their help and communication during the process! If you are thinking about trying Ark Assurance, just do it! You won't regret it!

Your knowledge of the your products your company provide was really instrumental in us getting the proper coverage that we needed. We look forward to doing business with you again. Dr. Emanuel Ward
