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 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

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

Age is one of the most important factors insurers consider when pricing car insurance. Young drivers usually pay more because insurers see them as higher risk due to their limited experience behind the wheel.

Premiums are typically most expensive for teens, begin to decrease after age 25, and then rise again as drivers enter their 70s.

Here’s a breakdown of what you might pay for full coverage in Hawaii, based on age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in Hawaii for young drivers

If you’re a younger driver, expect to pay higher premiums on your car insurance.

Insurers consider young drivers risky because of the increased risk that comes with limited driving experience.

For instance, a 20-year-old male driver in Hawaii pays an average of $1,766 annually for car insurance, compared to $1,766 for a female driver of the same age.

By age 25, car insurance premiums typically decrease to $1,728 per year for male drivers and $1,728 for female drivers. While still slightly above average, it’s a substantial drop from what drivers pay in their early 20s.

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