Finding decent car insurance deals on the islands—my step-by-step

painter49 · 2026-01-13T18:33:19Z

First thing I did was ask a couple friends and neighbors who they use, since local word-of-mouth seems to matter here more than back on the mainland. Then I checked online comparison sites, but honestly, most of them don’t even have all the Hawaii-specific companies (like DTRIC or Island Insurance). Next, I called a few agents directly because sometimes they’ll give you a better rate over the phone if you mention you’re shopping around. Finally, I compared quotes and coverage details side by side—some places sneak in hurricane coverage or glass repair, so watch for that. Anyone got a shortcut or better way to do this? Or is it just always this much legwork?

Honestly, I’ve been in the business for years and I still catch myself double-checking those extras. One time, a client thought she had roadside but it was only towing within five miles—big difference. Do you think those online comparison tools help, or do they just add to the confusion?
