Minimum Coverage Requirements in Hawaii

Hawaii operates under a tort-based liability system requiring all drivers to maintain continuous proof of insurance. The state mandates minimum liability coverage of $20,000 per person for bodily injury, $40,000 per accident for bodily injury, and $10,000 for property damage. Drivers suspended for uninsured operation, DUI, or multiple violations must file Form SR-22 through a licensed carrier to satisfy reinstatement requirements set by the Hawaii Department of Transportation.

$20,000 per person / $40,000 per accident
Bodily Injury Liability
Bodily injury liability covers medical expenses, lost wages, and legal costs when you injure someone in an at-fault accident. Hawaii's 20/40 minimum covers less than one serious injury claim — average hospital admission in Honolulu costs over $25,000 before treatment begins. Non-owner policies include this coverage at state minimums, though higher limits are available and recommended.
$10,000 per accident
Property Damage Liability
Property damage liability pays for repairs to other vehicles, structures, or property you damage in an at-fault collision. Hawaii's $10,000 minimum is the lowest in the nation and covers only minor accidents — average vehicle repair costs in Hawaii exceed $4,500 due to island shipping surcharges. Non-owner policies provide this coverage when you drive a borrowed or rental vehicle.
Required for reinstatement after suspension
SR-22 Certificate Filing
SR-22 is a certificate your insurance carrier files electronically with the Hawaii Department of Transportation confirming continuous coverage. Filing periods range from one year for minor violations to three years for DUI offenses, measured from the filing date. If your policy lapses or cancels during the filing period, your carrier notifies the state within 10 days and your license is re-suspended immediately.
Not required (optional)
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Uninsured motorist coverage protects you when hit by a driver without insurance. Hawaii does not require this coverage, but approximately 12% of Hawaii drivers operate uninsured despite the state's enforcement efforts. Non-owner policies can include uninsured motorist coverage at minimal additional cost, though it's often overlooked by cost-focused buyers.
Not required (optional)
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Personal injury protection covers your own medical bills regardless of fault. Hawaii offers optional PIP coverage but does not mandate it under tort law. Non-owner policies do not include PIP by default, and most non-owner buyers forgo it to minimize premium costs.

How Much Does Car Insurance Cost in Hawaii?

Non-owner SR-22 premiums in Hawaii average $35–$65 per month, significantly lower than owner SR-22 policies because no vehicle is insured for collision or comprehensive damage. Rates vary by violation type, filing duration, and carrier risk appetite — DUI filings cost 30-50% more than uninsured operation filings.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Violation type drives base premium — DUI SR-22 filings cost $60–$85/month compared to $35–$50/month for uninsured operation filings.
  • Filing duration set by the Hawaii Department of Transportation ranges from 12 months for first-time uninsured violations to 36 months for DUI offenses.
  • Carrier availability is limited — only 6-8 non-standard carriers actively write non-owner SR-22 policies in Hawaii, creating less competitive pricing than owner markets.
  • Age and claims history affect premiums independent of SR-22 status — drivers under 25 pay 20-35% more even on non-owner policies.
  • Island residency affects rates slightly — Oahu-based drivers pay marginally higher premiums than outer island residents due to traffic density and claim frequency.
