If you live in Hawaii, you can expect to pay an average of around $143 per month for full coverage car insurance, or $1,721 per year. If you carry only your state’s minimum required liability coverage, your cost drops to about $35 monthly or $425 annually.

Location plays a big role in what you pay for car insurance. Insurers calculate rates based on state-specific risk factors such as accident frequency, repair and medical costs, theft rates, and even weather-related risks. Urban areas with heavy traffic or higher crime rates tend to see higher premiums, while rural areas are often cheaper. Beyond location, your age, driving record, credit score, ZIP code, and the type of car you drive also affect your rate.

Average car insurance cost in Hawaii

If you live in Hawaii can expect to pay an average of $143 per month for full coverage car insurance – that’s $1,721 per year. If you opt for your state’s minimum required coverage, your insurance cost drops to $35 monthly or $425 annually. Just keep in mind that opting for minimum coverage means significantly less protection if you’re in an accident.

However, how much you actually pay for coverage can vary based on several factors, such as your age, driving history, credit score, ZIP code and the type of car you drive.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in Hawaii

Your car insurance cost largely comes down to the coverage limits you pick.

If you’re just looking to meet the state’s minimum requirements, you can expect to pay around $35 a month, or about $425 a year. It’s an affordable option, but remember that it only covers liability, so damages to your car won’t be covered.

For more complete protection, you may want to go with full coverage instead. Full coverage car insurance includes liability, collision and comprehensive coverage. Collision coverage covers damage to your car from accidents, regardless of fault. Comprehensive coverage protects against non-collision damages, like theft, vandalism and weather events.

On average, drivers in Hawaii pay around $143 per month, or roughly $1,721 a year for full coverage. It’s a bit more expensive, but it can be worth the extra cost, especially if your car is new or financed.

Coverage limitsAverage annual cost
State minimum liability-only$425
Liability only$603
Full coverage$1,721
Non-owner state minimum liability$333

Average car insurance cost in Hawaii by city

Where you live in Hawaii can have a big impact on your car insurance rates.

If you’re located in cities like Hilo, Kailua, or Ewa Gentry, you may face higher premiums due to dense traffic, higher accident rates, and an increased chance of theft or damage.

On the other hand, drivers in cities like Kahului and Honolulu tend to pay much lower insurance premiums, between $1,670 and $1,710 per year.

These cities usually have fewer accidents, lower crime rates and less congestion, which helps keep insurance costs down.

Average car insurance cost in Hawaii by age

Insurers consider age a key risk factor when determining car insurance rates. Our data shows that young drivers typically pay higher premiums due to their limited experience behind the wheel.

Generally, rates are highest for teens, begin to drop after age 25 and rise again once drivers reach their early 70s.

Let’s take a closer look at how much you might pay in Hawaii for a full coverage policy based on your age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Hawaii for young drivers

If you’re a young driver, you can expect to pay above average premiums. Insurers see young drivers as high-risk, which means higher premiums until you gain more experience behind the wheel.

For instance, 20-year-old male drivers in Hawaii pay an average of $1,766 per year for car insurance, while females of the same age pay $1,766.

But by the time you turn 25, insurance premiums drop to $1,728 a year on average for male drivers and $1,728 for female drivers.

Age of driverAverage annual cost for Male driversAverage annual cost for Female drivers
20$1,766$1,766
21$1,735$1,735
22$1,735$1,735

Average car insurance cost in Hawaii for senior drivers

If you’re a senior driver, your car insurance costs go up as you get older. At age 65, men pay about $1,721 per year, while women pay $1,721. But by age 70, average premiums rise to $1,721 for men and $1,721 annually for women. At 75, rates increase even further – $1,721 for male drivers and $1,721 for female drivers.

Insurers charge more because older drivers are seen as a higher risk due to slower reaction times and changes in vision. But you can still keep costs down by maintaining a clean driving record and taking advantage of senior discounts.

Age of driverAverage annual cost for Male driversAverage annual cost for Female drivers
65$1,721$1,721
