How to shop for the best car insurance in Hawaii
Many reputable car insurance companies offer insurance to Hawaii residents. But the best car insurance option varies based on your situation.
Start by making a list of what’s most important to you. Here are a few things to consider:
Reputation of the company
Financial stability of the insurer
Policies offered
Customer ratings
Price points available
Once you determine which qualities are most important for your situation, you can use the list to find the right insurance company for you.
Cheap car insurance can make a big difference for any household budget. Here are some strategies to help you lock in the best rates:[1]
Shop around. Comparing quotes across multiple car insurance companies can make all the difference. Each insurance company has a slightly different method of determining rates, which means shopping around can lead you to savings.
Choose the right vehicle. “The fact that Hawaii is an island can make it hard to source certain hard-to-find car parts,” says Ben Michael, director of auto at Michael & Associates. “If you drive a less-common make or model of car, you can expect to pay more for insurance as well as for repairs.” Picking the right vehicle can help you find lower rates.
Ask for a discount. Car insurance companies offer a wide range of discounts. Before signing up for an auto policy, ask if you qualify for a discount.
Take a defensive driving course. Many top insurance companies offer a discount to drivers who brush up on their skills. When you finish the course, you might enjoy a lower cost of car insurance.
Minimum car insurance requirements in Hawaii
The state of Hawaii requires all motor vehicles operated or parked in the state to have insurance. You must carryproof of insurance in your car at all times and have it available when:
A major part of your liability insurance, bodily injury coverage covers medical bills for people other than the policyholder injured during an accident. Hawaii is a no-fault state, meaning both parties’ insurance companies will pay for expenses, regardless of who caused the accident.
Property damage liability
$10,000 per accident
This coverage pays for repairs to the property of the other involved parties. Additionally, property damage insurance can cover legal costs if the insured driver faces a lawsuit following the accident.
Personal injury protection (PIP)
$10,000 per person
Personal injury protection coverage, also referred to as PIP coverage or no-fault insurance, will cover you and your passengers for medical payments they incur in the event of an accident. Depending on your plan, you may also receive nonmedical benefits, compensating you for lost wages, household expenses, and even funeral costs.
Liability-only vs. full-coverage insurance in Hawaii
As a driver, you can choose to carry liability-only auto insurance. With minimum liability auto insurance, your insurance company will pay for expenses relating to the injuries and damages you cause to another party. However, this minimum liability coverage won’t help you repair your own vehicle.[3]
In general, liability-only insurance can make sense if:
You can only afford to squeeze the minimum amount of coverage into your budget.
You have a low-value vehicle.
You can afford to repair or replace the vehicle without the help of an insurance company.
After an accident, collision coverage pays to repair or replace your vehicle. For even more protection, comprehensive coverage pays to repair or replace your vehicle after other unforeseen events, like theft, bad weather, and vandalism.
If you couldn’t afford to repair or replace your vehicle after an accident, a full-coverage policy might be a good fit. While you’ll pay more for a full-coverage policy, you’ll also have more financial protection from whatever life throws your way.
Here’s a look at the cheapest full-coverage auto insurance in Hawaii.

Hawaii car insurance rates by driving and accident history
Your driving history can have a big effect on your car insurance costs.[4] As a driver, you might see your rates go up if any speeding tickets, DUIs, or at-fault accidents hit your driving record.
Most good drivers, without any traffic violations, tend to pay lower rates.
SR-22 insurance in Hawaii
An SR-22 is a form that indicates proof of financial responsibility. Some drivers may have to file this document with the Hawaii Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). You might be required to file this form after a traffic court conviction.[5]
You’ll need to work with an insurance company that’s willing to provide an SR-22 form. Not all insurance companies provide this form, so if your current insurer doesn’t, then you’ll need to find car insurance from a different company.
A few insurance companies in Hawaii that offer SR-22 forms include Farmers, Midvale Home & Auto, and State Farm.
When insurance companies are determining rates, some states allow them to consider the driver’s credit score. Drivers with excellent or good credit scores tend to pay less for car insurance than those with poor credit scores.
In Hawaii, insurance companies aren’t allowed to take your credit score into account when determining auto insurance premiums.[6] As a driver in Hawaii, you don’t have to worry about a poor credit score resulting in higher rates.
Car insurance quotes in Hawaii cities
Every city has different variables that affect car insurance costs. For example, a city with more traffic and higher crime rates might also come with higher insurance premiums than a city with fewer drivers and less theft.
In Hawaii, car insurance rates vary slightly by city.

Hawaii car insurance rates by driver age
A driver’s age often has an effect on car insurance premiums. New drivers with less experience behind the wheel tend to face higher auto insurance premiums. In general, teen drivers pay the most, while older drivers tend to enjoy lower rates because older drivers with more experience are less likely to get into an accident.
But in Hawaii, rates don’t drop off after drivers turn 25. Instead, Insurify data shows that Hawaii drivers in their 30s face increased rates compared to teenagers on the road.

Hawaii car insurance FAQs
If you’re shopping for car insurance in Hawaii, it’s important to know the state’s minimum coverage requirements as well as any additional coverage options you might need. Here’s some additional information about Hawaii car insurance that may help.
Who has the cheapest car insurance in Hawaii?
Everyone has a unique car insurance situation, which means you can find the cheapest option for you by shopping around. When you compare multiple quotes, you’ll usually find that liability-only policies are cheaper than full-coverage policies.
Midvale Home & Auto offers one of the cheapest car insurance options in Hawaii, based on Insurify data.
What is the required car insurance coverage in Hawaii?
Hawaii requires drivers to carry at least $10,000 for PIP coverage, $20,000 per person for bodily injury liability, $40,000 per accident for bodily injury liability, and $10,000 for property damage liability. Compared to the minimum car insurance requirements of other states, Hawaii is in the middle of the pack. But the minimum coverage is just a starting point. Many drivers choose to carry more insurance to protect their financial interests after an accident.
What are the best car insurance companies in Hawaii?
A few of the best car insurance companies in Hawaii include Allstate, State Farm, and USAA. As a driver, you’ll need to determine which car insurance company best suits your needs. Consider a company’s financial strength ratings, coverage, discount options, and customer reviews to gain more insight into whether it’s right for you.
How does credit score affect car insurance premiums in Hawaii?
In some states, insurers can consider your credit rating when determining premiums. A higher credit score typically results in lower auto insurance premiums. But Hawaii doesn’t allow insurance companies to use your credit rating when setting your auto insurance premium.
Is Hawaii a no-fault state?
Yes, Hawaii is considered a no-fault state. With that, you must carry coverage that will help you pay for your own medical costs after an accident.
