What you still pay with the minimum

At a minimum, Hawaii requires 40/80/20 liability limits: $40,000 per injured person, $80,000 for all injured people in one crash and $20,000 to cover harm to someone else's property.

Liability coverage pays out to the other people. Unless you add collision, fixing your own car is a cost you pay yourself.

Any cost above your limits after a crash can be claimed from you. Raising your limits usually costs far less than the jump in protection you get.
