Frequently Asked Questions*:

Why do I need personal auto insurance in Hawaii?

What factors should I consider for a personal auto insurance policy in Honolulu?
It is important to evaluate your financial situation and coverage options with a licensed insurance agent in preparation for potential risks and accidents. A few factors to consider are:

• Your assets and financial situation – Depending on how much assets you have, you may opt for higher liability coverage amounts. If you are at fault in an accident where someone is injured but your liability coverage limits don’t cover all their expenses, you may be responsible for the remainder of the amount.
• Deductibles and risk tolerance – In the event of an accident or loss, your deductible is the amount you will have to pay before your insurance covers the remaining amount (up to your policy limit). Typically, higher deductibles will lower your premium, however, please determine if you will be able to afford your deductible amount as it will be your out-of-pocket expense.
• Vehicle type – Depending on the type of vehicle you drive, you may want to consider higher amounts of coverage if your make of vehicle may require costly repairs or is popular with thieves.
• Car payments – If you have a brand new vehicle and are making car payments, your loan or finance company may require you to obtain Collision and Other Than Collision Coverage in addition to Liability Coverage.

What factors can affect my Hawaii auto insurance premium?
