Cheapest Car Insurance in Hawaii for 2026


GEICO is the cheapest car insurance in Hawaii at $64 a month for full coverage and $24 a month for minimum coverage, the lowest for both. Hawaii bans insurers from using age, gender, and credit as rating factors, so teens, seniors, and drivers with poor credit all pay close to what a 40-year-old with good credit pays. GEICO is cheapest for teens ($64 to $72 a month), seniors ($64 a month), and at-fault accidents ($93 a month), and its rate stays at $64 after a speeding ticket or texting, with no extra charge. State Farm is cheapest after a OUI/DUI at $99 a month.

Best Cheap Car Insurance for Most Drivers in Hawaii

GEICO is the cheapest insurer for most drivers in Hawaii, at $64 a month for full coverage and $24 for minimum coverage. Because Hawaii bans age-based pricing, GEICO's rate barely moves across ages. A teen pays $72 and a senior pays the same $64 as a 40-year-old. GEICO's coverage, however, ranks last of the five Hawaii insurers for coverage options and fourth for customer experience.

Cheapest Minimum Coverage in Hawaii

GEICO is the cheapest minimum coverage in Hawaii at $24 a month, the only insurer under $30 and $12 below Island Insurance at $36. No other carrier is close on price, so the main thing you give up is service, where GEICO ranks fourth of five. That matters here because your insurer handles the other driver's claim when you cause a crash. On a minimum policy, the limit to watch is the $20,000 for property damage. If you cause a crash that totals someone's $40,000 car, you would owe the $20,000 above that limit yourself.

Cheapest Full Coverage in Hawaii

GEICO is the cheapest full coverage option in Hawaii at $64 a month, but it ranks last of the five insurers for coverage options. Farmers has the most coverage options in the state at $79 a month ($15 more), so it's the better pick if you want more than a basic policy. In Hawaii, switching to the cheapest insurer saves $39 a month and dropping from full to minimum saves $40, nearly the same, so choosing the right insurer matters as much as the coverage level.

Cheapest Car Insurance for Teens and Young Adults in Hawaii

GEICO is the cheapest insurer for teens in Hawaii at $72 a month, and because the state bans age-based pricing, that's only $8 more than the $64 an adult pays. The $72 rate holds from 16 through 20, then drops to $64 at 21, once the small experience-based difference no longer applies.

Teens file more claims than any other age group, so service matters here. GEICO ranks fourth of five for customer experience. State Farm costs $19 more at $91 a month but has a stronger service record, which can matter at an age when claims are more likely.

Cheapest Car Insurance for Seniors in Hawaii

GEICO is the cheapest insurer for seniors in Hawaii at $64 a month. Because the state bans age as a rating factor, that's the same rate a 40-year-old pays.

Service is important to seniors because they file more claims than younger drivers and that's where GEICO is weaker, ranking fourth of five for customer experience, only handling claims by app and phone. Island Insurance costs more at $87 a month but ranks higher for service and is the state's only locally based insurer, so it offers in-person claims support that GEICO doesn't.

Cheapest Car Insurance in Hawaii by City

GEICO is the cheapest insurer in all 15 Hawaii cities, from $23 a month in Ewa Gentry to $29 in Kailua. Where you live barely moves the rate. Only $6 separates the cheapest city from the most expensive. Honolulu and Kailua are the priciest, which fits their heavier Oahu traffic, but GEICO is still cheapest in both. Your choice of insurer matters far more, since GEICO is cheaper by $15 a month.

Cheapest Car Insurance for High-Risk Drivers in Hawaii

GEICO doesn't raise your rate for a speeding ticket or a texting citation in Hawaii, so both stay at its $64 clean-record rate. An at-fault accident raises GEICO to $93 a month, $29 more, but it's still the cheapest option. The one violation that changes the cheapest insurer is a OUI/DUI. State Farm is cheapest at $99 a month and files the SR-22 Hawaii requires for three years after a conviction.

Once a DUI clears, re-quoting GEICO can save $35 a month, but its underwriting eligibility isn't guaranteed, so confirm before canceling your State Farm policy.

How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance in Hawaii

Switching from Hawaii's most expensive insurer to GEICO saves $39 a month on full coverage. Dropping from full to minimum coverage at GEICO saves another $40.

  1. 1

    Compare quotes and save $39 per month

    GEICO's $64 full coverage rate is $39 less than Progressive at $103. Quote GEICO, Farmers and one other before renewing to confirm you're at the lowest rate for your profile.

  2. 2

    Match your coverage to your vehicle value and save $40 per month

    Full coverage costs $40 more a month than minimum at GEICO, $64 versus $24. If your car isn't worth much, minimum coverage is usually the better deal. Because parts ship from the mainland, repairs run higher here, so full coverage is worth keeping if your car has real value. Use MoneyGeek's car insurance calculator for Hawaii to check whether your vehicle's current value justifies full coverage.

  3. 3

    Bundle home and auto in Hawaii and reduce both premiums

    Bundling home and auto usually discounts both premiums, but in Hawaii the biggest discount isn't always the cheapest total bill, so compare the full price, not only the discount percentage. The Hawaii home and auto bundle guide ranks the insurers by total cost.

  4. 4

    Re-shop when your at-fault accident rate increase ends

    An at-fault accident raises GEICO's rate from $64 to $93 a month. The increase usually clears in about three years, so re-quote then and ask whether it still applies.

  5. 5

    Re-shop after an OUI/DUI and recover $35 a month

    An OUI/DUI moves the cheapest insurer to State Farm at $99 a month. Re-quote GEICO at the three-year mark to check whether its clean-record rate is available again, though its underwriting eligibility isn't guaranteed.

  6. 6

    Use carrier discount programs

    Farmers and Island Insurance don't offer verified telematics programs in Hawaii. Both sell through local agents, so contact your agent directly to ask about multi-policy, multi-vehicle and loyalty discounts. The confirmed telematics options in Hawaii are:  

    Allstate Drivewise: Tracks driving behavior through the Allstate app. Safe drivers can earn discounts at renewal. Poor driving behavior can raise your rate.

    State Farm Drive Safe & Save: tracks driving through the State Farm app or your vehicle's built-in connectivity, with lower premiums for low-mileage drivers. Confirm terms directly with State Farm.

Rates come from Quadrant Information Services, compiled from filed rates across all residential ZIP codes in Hawaii. Insurance companies are required to file rates with the Hawaii Insurance Division before charging them; these are filed rates, not online quote estimates.

MoneyGeek analyzed rates from all insurance companies with Hawaii market presence. The baseline driver profile is a 40-year-old male driving a 2012 Toyota Camry LE with a clean driving record, good credit and 12,000 annual miles. Full coverage is 100/300/100 liability with a $1,000 deductible. Minimum coverage is Hawaii's 40/80/20 liability requirement plus mandatory $10,000 PIP under Act 138, with no comprehensive or collision.

Profile variations: teens (ages 16 to 25, standalone policy; gender rating is banned in Hawaii, so one rate applies to all genders); seniors (70-year-old driver, same vehicle and coverage); violations (baseline with one record variable changed); credit (credit scoring is banned in Hawaii, so no credit-tier variation is applied). USAA is excluded from all analysis due to military eligibility restrictions.

MoneyGeek scores weigh affordability at 60%, customer experience at 30% and coverage options at 10%.
