Does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in Hawaii?

A vehicle’s make and model can significantly impact car insurance rates. Insurers consider various factors, including a vehicle’s make and model, when determining premiums.

For example, full coverage for a Honda Accord LX costs $1,490 per year, while the average premium for a Honda CR-V in Hawaii is $1,261 – a difference of $229.

Does your car’s model year affect insurance rates in Hawaii?

In Hawaii, your car’s model year affects how much you pay for insurance. For example, a 2023 Honda Accord LX has an annual premium of $1,040 per year, while the 2024 model costs $1,478 annually to insure.

Quick tip: Review your state’s minimum insurance requirements before choosing a policy

Each state sets its own minimum car insurance requirements, and Hawaii is no different. To drive legally, you’ll need at least the minimum liability coverage, which generally includes:

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

These limits offer the minimum coverage, but many drivers choose higher coverage to protect themselves after an accident.

Driving without the required coverage in Hawaii can lead to fines, license suspension and even vehicle impoundment.

Our agents make it hassle-free to get the right quote.

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.
