The local market
Insurance in Maui County, Hawaii
Hawaii is a no-fault state with comparatively low liability minimums. On property, hurricane coverage is frequently written as a separate policy rather than an endorsement, and lava hazard zone designation on the Big Island drives eligibility more than construction or protection class does.
Exposure

- volcanic
- flood

Last resort
If the standard market will not write you
Hawaii operates a residual market plan for risks private carriers decline. These are a last resort — usually narrower coverage at a higher price — but they exist so a property is not left uninsured.

Hawaii Property Insurance Association
Property coverage for risks in designated lava hazard zones and other areas the voluntary market declines.
Recourse
If something goes wrong with an insurer
