Popular models and the cost of insurance
The car insurance rates mentioned up to this point consist of an average based on every 2024 vehicle model, which is practical for making generalized comparisons such as the cost difference between two locations.
Average auto insurance rates are great when presented with a question like “are Kaneohe car insurance rates cheaper than in Honolulu?” or “is car insurance in Hawaii cheaper than Colorado?”.
But for more useful price comparisons, we get better data if we do a rate analysis for the exact make and model of vehicle being insured. Each individual model has slightly different risk exposures for physical damage and liability claims, and this data allows us to make more detailed cost analysis.
The following chart shows average insurance cost for some of the more popular models that you’ll see on the streets of Kaneohe.

Vehicles popular with drivers in Kaneohe tend to be compact or midsize sedans like the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry and compact or midsize SUVs like the Chevy Equinox, Ford Escape, and Toyota Highlander.
Additional popular vehicles from other segments include luxury SUVs like the Acura MDX and Lexus RX 350, luxury cars like the Acura ILX and BMW 530i, and pickup trucks like the Toyota Tacoma and Ford Ranger.
If we see how many popular models from the chart above are included in the prior table that ranked the 30 vehicles with the cheapest insurance, most of the top-selling models don’t even rank in the top 30.
This could be the result of a high replacement cost for the vehicle, like a BMW X5 with an average MSRP of $65,200 or a Porsche Taycan that has an average price of $90,900, or perhaps higher liability insurance cost like a GMC Yukon XL, Jeep Wrangler, or Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup.

Tips for cheaper Kaneohe car insurance rates
Kaneohe drivers should always be looking to save money on insurance. So take a minute and read through the money-saving ideas in this next list and maybe you can save a little cash on your next renewal.
- Compare auto insurance rates before buying a car. Different models, and even different trim levels of the same model, have significantly different auto insurance rates, and companies charge a wide range of prices. Get plenty of comparison quotes before you purchase in order to avoid insurance sticker shock when you receive your first bill.
- Safer drivers pay lower rates. Causing too many accidents will raise rates, potentially as much as $2,730 per year for a 20-year-old driver and as much as $470 per year for a 60-year-old driver. So be a cautious driver and save.
- Avoid tickets to save money. If you want affordable auto insurance in Kaneohe, it pays to be a good, safe driver. Not surprisingly, just a couple of blemishes on your driving record could end up increasing policy cost as much as $508 per year. Serious violations like driving on a suspended license could raise rates by an additional $1,776 or more.
- Cheaper rates come with better credit scores. Having a credit score above 800 could save as much as $300 per year compared to a good rating of 670-739. Conversely, a credit score below 579 could cost as much as $347 more per year. Not all states use credit score as a rating factor, so check with your agent or company.
- Policy discounts save money. Discounted rates may be available if the insureds belong to certain professional organizations, are military or federal employees, choose electronic billing, drive a vehicle with safety or anti-theft features, or many other policy discounts which could save the average Kaneohe driver as much as $320 per year on their insurance cost.
