If you’re in Hawaii, your monthly cost for full coverage car insurance is $143, which adds up to $1,721 per year. For minimum coverage, expect to pay an average of $35 monthly, or $425 a year.

Insurance companies calculate your premiums based partly on where you live. They consider factors such as traffic and accident rates, the number of car thefts in your area, and how expensive it is to repair your vehicle.

If you live in a busy city with heavy traffic and high theft rates, you’ll likely pay more for car insurance than someone in a rural area with fewer cars on the road and lower accident risks.

Other than location, your age, driving history, credit score and ZIP code also influence your insurance rates.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in Hawaii

Your car insurance premium is determined by the coverage limits you choose.

If you purchase only the state’s minimum liability limits, you’ll pay $35 per month or $425 annually. While an affordable option, it only includes liability coverage. That means any damage to your own vehicle won’t be covered.

If you’re looking for more robust protection, consider choosing full coverage car insurance. It includes liability coverage, plus collision and comprehensive insurance. Collision coverage covers damage to your vehicle in an accident, no matter who’s at fault. Comprehensive insurance covers theft, vandalism or weather-related damage to your car.

In Hawaii, drivers typically pay $143 per month or $1,721 annually for full coverage car insurance.

Although it costs more than minimum coverage, full coverage can be a smart choice -particularly if you have a newer or financed vehicle.

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

Car insurance rates can vary widely depending on where you live, even within Hawaii.

Cities like Hilo, Kailua, or Ewa Gentry tend to have higher premiums due to heavier traffic, more frequent accidents, and a greater risk of theft or damage.

On the other hand, car insurance is generally more affordable in cities like Kahului or Honolulu, with average annual premiums between $1,670 and $1,710.

This is largely because these cities have fewer accidents, less traffic, and lower rates of vehicle theft or vandalism.

Average car insurance cost in Hawaii by age

Age plays a significant role in how insurers calculate car insurance costs. Young drivers usually pay more, as their inexperience on the road makes them a higher risk.

Rates are often highest for teenagers, begin to decrease after 25, and then climb again once drivers are in their 70s.

Let’s break down what you can expect to pay in Hawaii for full coverage, depending on your age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Hawaii for young drivers

As a young driver, you’ll likely face higher-than-average insurance rates. Because of limited driving experience, insurers view young drivers as riskier, resulting in higher insurance rates until they gain more experience on the road.

In Hawaii, 20-year-old male drivers pay an average of $1,766 per year for car insurance, while their female counterparts pay $1,766 for the same coverage.

However, by age 25, average car insurance costs drop to about $1,728 per year 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
23$1,735$1,735

Average car insurance cost in Hawaii for senior drivers

As a senior driver, you may notice your car insurance rates increase with age. At 65, men pay $1,721 per year, and women pay $1,721.

Older drivers often face higher premiums because insurers view them as higher-risk due to slower reaction times and increased accident severity with age.

Still, you can keep your premiums in check by driving safely and taking advantage of senior discounts.
