Non-owner car insurance in Hawaii costs $407 annually, which is $54 more than the U.S. average, according to an Insure.com 2023 rate analysis.

In Hawaii, non-owner policies are available from companies such as State Farm and Progressive.

“Non-owner policies provide the minimum coverage required by the state, as well as some optional add-ons, but there are specific requirements by the insurance carriers to provide this coverage in lieu of a traditional auto insurance policy,” says Patti Clement, senior vice president of private client services at HUB International, a leading personal insurance brokerage.

How much does non-owner auto insurance cost in Hawaii?

Non-owner insurance is usually less expensive than full coverage car insurance—insurers consider non-owner policyholders as less risky because they have limited access to a car.

On average in the U.S., it costs drivers with clean driving records and good credit scores $1,682 annually for a 100/300/100 full coverage insurance policy—$100,000 for injuries you cause in an accident, up to $300,000 per accident, and $100,000 for any damages to property. In Hawaii, full coverage car insurance costs $1,306.

On the other hand, non-owner car insurance is $353 a year on average in the United States and $407 in Hawaii.

But actual rates are based on your age and driving history and also where in Hawaii you live.
