Does Hawaii require minimum car insurance coverage?
If you live and drive in Hawaii, you are legally required to carry liability coverage limits of at least:
- $20,000 in bodily injury liability
- $40,000 in total bodily injury per accident
- $10,000 in property damage liability
Hawaii also requires personal injury protection:
- $10,000 per accident
Personal injury protection or PIP, covers medical services resulting from an auto accident, regardless of fault.
Every Hawaiian driver needs bare minimum coverage to get behind the wheel, but consider increasing your liability coverage limits to better safeguard your assets.
Consider comprehensive and collision coverage
If you're leasing or financing your car, your lender likely requires comprehensive and collision coverage. But even if you own your vehicle outright, physical damage coverages can be worth carrying to help pay to repair or replace your ride if it's stolen or damaged in an accident.
