Average teen car insurance costs in Hawaii

On average, insuring a teen driver in Hawaii costs $1,639 per year for a policy with 100/300/100 coverage limits – that’s $100,000 for one person injured in an accident, $300,000 for all injuries in a single accident, and $100,000 for property damage – plus $500 deductibles for collision and comprehensive.

Because teens are new to the road, insurers view them as higher risk, which makes their premiums much steeper than those of adults.

Your rate may also change based on the coverage you select, the type of car your teen drives, and where you live. Families in Hawaii can save money by asking about good student discounts, signing up teens for a driving course, or adding them to an existing family policy.

Teen car insurance costs in Hawaii, by age

Premiums drop as teens gain experience. For example, a 16-year-old in Hawaii with full coverage pays an average of $1,747 per year. By 19, the average rate is $1,545.

Though still higher than adult premiums, the steady decline shows how added years of driving lead to more affordable coverage.

See the table below for average teen car insurance costs in Hawaii by age.

Teen car insurance in Hawaii, by gender

In most states, insurers can use gender when setting rates. California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania are the exceptions. In Hawaii, a 16-year-old male driver pays about $1,747 annually, while a female of the same age pays $1,747 – a difference of $0.

Crash statistics back up this difference. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that 3,048 teenagers ages 13-19 died in vehicle crashes in 2023, and two out of three were male. Because young men are more often involved in serious accidents, insurers factor that risk into premiums.

The table below shows average teen car insurance rates in Hawaii by gender.

AgeAverage annual premium for maleAverage annual premium for female
16$1,747$1,747
17$1,636$1,636
18$1,628$1,628

Minimum car insurance requirements for teens in Hawaii

Like adults, teen drivers in Hawaii must carry at least the state’s minimum liability coverage:

  • $20,000 per person for bodily injury
  • $40,000 per accident for bodily injury
  • $10,000 for property damage

These minimums provide only basic protection, and medical care or repairs costs can quickly exceed them. That’s why many families choose higher coverage – especially when adding a teen driver.

Lenders will also require comprehensive and collision coverage if your car is financed or leased. These cover damage to your own vehicle after an accident, theft, or severe weather.

Smart ways to save on car insurance for your teen

There’s no avoiding the fact that insuring a teen driver costs more, but you can take steps to manage the expense while keeping them safe on the road:

  • Check state averages. Knowing what families typically pay in your state gives you a ballpark figure to budget and compare against quotes.
  • Choose the right car. A safe, reliable sedan is far cheaper to insure than a luxury or sports car.
  • Consider full coverage. Liability is cheaper, but full coverage offers better protection against accidents, injuries, and costly repairs.
  • Ask about discounts. Many insurers reward good grades, defensive driving courses, or low mileage with lower rates.
  • Talk with your teen. Driving isn’t just freedom – it’s responsibility. Open conversations about risks and safety can encourage habits that save lives.
  • Review your rates each year. Premiums usually drop as your teen gains experience and keeps a clean record, so it’s worth checking annually.

Giving your teen a safe start on the road

Adding a teen driver to your policy will raise costs at first, but rates typically decline as they gain experience.

You can keep expenses under control by comparing quotes, bundling policies, and taking advantage of discounts. More importantly, the right coverage helps your teen build confidence and keeps your family financially protected as they start driving.
