Does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in Hawaii?

Your car’s make and model play a major role in determining your insurance rates, along with other factors insurers use when setting premiums.

For example, the average annual full coverage cost for a Honda Accord LX in Hawaii is $1,490, while the average premium for a Honda CR-V is $1,261 – that’s a difference of $229 annually.

How your car’s model year affects insurance rates in Hawaii

In Hawaii, insurance premiums often change depending on the car’s model year. For instance, a 2023 Honda Accord LX costs an average of $1,040 year to insure, whereas the 2024 model costs $1,478 annually.

Know the minimum insurance you need in Hawaii

Every state has specific car insurance requirements. In Hawaii, you must carry at least the minimum liability coverage to drive legally, which generally includes:

  • Bodily injury liability per person and per accident
  • Property damage liability

While these limits meet Hawaii’s legal requirements, many drivers choose higher coverage for greater financial security after an accident. Failing to maintain the required insurance can lead to penalties such as fines, license suspension or vehicle impoundment.

How your car’s trim affects insurance rates in Hawaii

Your car’s trim level plays a big role in determining your insurance premium. Insurers consider the vehicle’s value, repair costs, safety features and theft risk when setting rates. Higher trims with upgraded technology or powerful engines often have higher premiums since they’re more expensive to repair or replace.

For example, a 2023 Honda Accord LX costs $1,040 per year to insure in Hawaii, whereas the EX-L trim costs $902, a difference of $138 annually.

Trims that include luxury upgrades, like a premium sound system, often cost more to insure because they raise the vehicle’s overall value. Similarly, performance-focused trims with larger engines may increase premiums due to a greater risk of accidents or speeding.
