Hawaii
Required Minimum Liability Coverage
Hawaii requires minimum liability of 20/40/10 ($20,000 bodily injury per person / $40,000 per accident / $10,000 property damage), PLUS Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of at least $10,000. Hawaii is a no-fault state, so drivers recover medical costs from their own PIP coverage regardless of fault.
Bodily Injury Coverage Requirements
Bodily injury liability in Hawaii pays for medical bills, lost wages, and pain-and-suffering damages owed to people YOU injure in an at-fault crash. The minimum is $20,000 per injured person and $40,000 total per accident. These are caps on what your insurer will pay; you are personally liable for damages above the policy limit.
Property Damage Coverage
Property damage liability in Hawaii pays for damage YOU cause to other people's vehicles, fences, buildings, and other property. The minimum is $10,000 per accident. Given the rising cost of vehicles and repairs, this minimum often falls short of a single luxury vehicle's repair bill.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Hawaii does not strictly require UM/UIM coverage, but insurers must offer it. UM/UIM coverage must be offered; written rejection allowed. UM/UIM coverage protects YOU and your passengers when an at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient limits to cover your injuries.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Hawaii REQUIRES Personal Injury Protection (PIP) of at least $10,000. PIP pays your own medical bills, a portion of lost wages, and certain replacement services after a crash, regardless of who was at fault. PIP is the cornerstone of the state's no-fault system.
No-Fault System
Hawaii is a no-fault state requiring $10,000 PIP. Tort actions are limited unless the injury exceeds the PIP threshold or causes serious injury or death.
Self-Insurance & Bond Alternatives
SR-22 may be required after DUI, uninsured accidents, or license revocation.
