How to Calculate How Much Car Insurance You Need in Hawaii

- 1
Understand Hawaii car insurance requirements
You can figure out how much car insurance you need in Hawaii by looking up Hawaii’s minimum car insurance requirements. However, if you purchase the minimum coverage required by Hawaii insurance laws, you will only be protected up to $20,000 bodily injury liability per person, $40,000 bodily injury liability per accident, $10,000 property damage liability and $10,000 personal injury coverage. Hawaii doesn’t require you to buy comprehensive and collision insurance, which protects you against damages to your car.
- 2
Consider Purchasing Additional Liability Insurance
You may need liability insurance above the minimums required by Hawaii state laws if you want to be fully protected in the event of a major crash.
If you purchase a policy in Hawaii with $300,000 in bodily injury liability per accident, you will pay an average of $665 per year, compared to roughly $448 for a state minimum policy.

Decide whether or not to buy comprehensive and collision insurance
It is important to determine whether you need a full coverage policy before you purchase car insurance. Hawaii law does not require you to have a full coverage policy with comprehensive and collision insurance. However, if you’re leasing or financing the purchase of your car, your lender may require it.
The cost of adding comprehensive and collision with a $1,000 deductible is an average of $333 per year in Hawaii. While full coverage offers better protection, you may want to drop it if you are paying hundreds of dollars per year to insure a car that is only worth a few thousand dollars.

Additionally, drivers in Hawaii are covered for up to $10,000 in medical costs and lost wages since the state requires drivers to carry personal injury protection coverage.
