Hawaii Driving Facts
Minimum Car Insurance Requirements in HI
The state of Hawaii requires all motor vehicle operators to have proof of insurance available in the car at all times. The minimum bodily injury liability insurance requirements in Hawaii are:
- $20,000 bodily injury liability per person
- $40,000 bodily injury liability per accident
Bodily injury coverage protects you by paying for the injuries of anyone you harm in an accident. The minimum coverage limits Hawaii state law requires are $20,000 for the injury or death of a single person involved in a car accident and $40,000 for the injury or death of multiple persons. Insurance providers list this coverage at 20/40, stating the limitations of each minimum. In an accident, liability coverage protects you up to the policy limit. Damages above the policy limit of $40,000 are your responsibility.
The minimum property damage liability insurance requirements in Hawaii are:
- $10,000 property damage liability per accident
Property damage liability coverage pays for any property that you damage in an accident. The state of Hawaii requires $10,000 for the minimum. You’ll see the collective state minimum listed at 20/40/10. The 10 refers to the property damage liability. Once again, any damages above the $10,000 are your responsibility.
The minimum personal injury protection (PIP) insurance requirements in Hawaii are:
- $10,000 personal injury protection (PIP) per person per accident
Hawaii is a no-fault state, so Personal Injury Protection (also called no-fault insurance) is mandatory coverage for all drivers. Hawaii PIP covers you, your immediate family, and your passengers for economic losses, medical costs, and death benefits regardless of fault. The minimum coverage limits Hawaii state law requires is $10,000 per person per accident.

Cheap Car Insurance for Drivers with an At-Fault Accident
The sinking feeling after realizing you’ve caused an accident is no exaggeration. Even a tiny fender bender can raise rates to levels that significantly alter your budget. If you’ve paid for accident forgiveness you may have caught a break. If not: discounts, discounts, discounts.
And comparison shopping at least every time your policy is up for renewal: insurance companies look at different time windows for driving history. For example, one company might look at the last five years while the other looks at the last three. Here are the best rates we could find for drivers with one at-fault accident.

Cheap Car Insurance for Speeding Drivers
The need for speed can soon turn into the need for a new budget. Speeding tickets can affect people differently. But essentially, the more often you speed—and the higher your mph—the more points you’ll receive on your driver’s license. Higher points mean higher prices in the car insurance game. The best way to lower costs? Slow down and find a discount program, like a defensive driving course reduction.

Cheap Car Insurance for Young Drivers
If you’re under 40 years old in the state of Hawaii, you will likely pay more for auto insurance coverage than the average driver. Since inexperienced drivers pose a higher risk for insurance providers, their rates are often significantly higher. USAA offers the cheapest car insurance rates for young drivers, averaging $28 a month. New drivers must abide by special driving restrictions, including curfews, electronic device limitations, and passenger age restrictions. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these rules before hitting the road.
Insurance policies for 21-year-olds generally run higher than the national average by a significant margin. Even though they’re no longer considered teen-drivers, 21-year-olds are still regarded as high-risk to insurers. Unlike most states, Hawaii 21-year-olds benefit from the state’s ban on using gender, education level, and credit score as factors when calculating premiums. This will generally help young Hawaii residents lower their monthly payments. To find the cheapest car insurance for 21-year-olds, use a car insurance quotes comparison site like Insurify.
