Harvey Insurance is a trusted local agency serving families and businesses across Texas, Oklahoma & Arkansas — backed by America’s most reputable carriers.
Port Aransas drivers live on a barrier island, reaching the mainland only by the SH 361 ferry across the channel or the long run down Park Road 22 past Padre Island. That island isolation cuts both ways in a storm — Hurricane Harvey made landfall right here in 2017, and surge and wind destroyed or damaged the vast majority of vehicles in town.

Driving in Port Aransas means island life: short hops along Cotter Avenue and Alister Street in town, then either the SH 361 ferry line or the long Park Road 22 drive to reach Corpus Christi and the mainland. Tourist season packs those few roads with golf carts, beach traffic, and out-of-town visitors who don’t know the area, which feeds fender-benders and parking scrapes. But the overwhelming risk here is the storm — sitting fully exposed on Mustang Island, Port Aransas takes the brunt of any hurricane that enters the Gulf. Harvey’s direct hit in 2017 wrecked nearly every vehicle in town, which is why we make sure each Port Aransas policy carries the comprehensive protection that surge and wind demand.

On an exposed barrier island, Port Aransas’s auto claims are driven first and foremost by hurricanes and surge, with tourist-season congestion adding everyday collisions.
Fully exposed on Mustang Island, Port Aransas absorbs storm surge and hurricane-force wind with nothing to break it. Comprehensive coverage is the only thing that pays when surge floods a car or wind drives debris through it — exactly what Harvey did to nearly every vehicle in town.
Spring break and summer flood the island with visitors, golf carts, and beachgoers crowding a handful of narrow streets. Low-speed but frequent, these collisions and parking-lot scrapes are steady collision claims through the busy months.
Constant salt air and blowing sand wear paint, glass, and metal, while beach driving exposes vehicles to corrosion and getting stuck. These are the routine comprehensive claims that come with living on the sand.
Getting on and off the island defines driving in Port Aransas — just a few routes carry everyone, and each plays a role when a storm threatens.
The main link to Aransas Pass, where the free ferry shuttles cars across the channel. Long waits stack traffic on busy weekends, and it’s a critical — and quickly congested — route when an evacuation is ordered.
The overland route south down Mustang and Padre Island toward Corpus Christi, the alternative to the ferry. It runs right along the dunes, low and exposed, so it floods and washes over in heavy surf and storm conditions.
The heart of town near the ferry landing and the marina, where local errands and tourist foot traffic converge. Its tight streets and steady mix of cars, carts, and pedestrians make low-speed scrapes common all season.
