Independent Insurance Agency Serving All of the Hawaiian Islands
Finding the right insurance in Hawaii is not like shopping for coverage on the mainland.
Hurricane season, flood zones, lava zone designations on the Big Island, and the Pacific’s unique coastal risks mean your coverage needs to be built for where you actually live and work, not copied from a generic policy template.
The Allen Thomas Group is a licensed independent insurance agency now formally serving clients across all Hawaiian islands.
With 20+ years of experience helping individuals and businesses across the U.S., we bring national carrier access and a straightforward, Smart & Easy process to Hawaii residents and business owners who want real options, not a single-carrier pitch.
Why Work With an Independent Insurance Agency?
When you work with a captive agent, you get one company’s products. That’s it.
As an independent insurance agency, The Allen Thomas Group represents multiple top-rated insurance carriers, which means we compare options across the market and bring you the best fit for your coverage needs and budget.
That independence matters in Hawaii.
The coverage requirements for a Honolulu condo owner are different from what a Maui small business needs, and both are different from what a homeowner in a Big Island lava zone requires.
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all policies. We work with you to find the right coverage from a carrier that actually writes for your situation.
What independent agency access means for you:
- We shop across multiple top-rated carriers, so you’re not locked into one company’s options
- We compare quotes, coverage terms, and exclusions on your behalf
- We serve as your advocate, including when you need to file a claim
- You get a personalized insurance plan, not a pre-packaged product
Personal Insurance Options we offer for Hawaii Residents
Auto Insurance in Hawaii

Hawaii requires all drivers to carry a minimum of personal injury protection (PIP) and liability coverage.
But the right policy for Hawaii goes further than minimums, especially with the traffic patterns around Honolulu, the rural roads on Kauai, and the unique risk profile of coastal areas prone to weather events.
We compare auto insurance options across carriers to find coverage that protects you at a rate that makes sense.
We also help with coverage for multiple vehicles, rental reimbursement, and uninsured motorist protection.


Home Insurance Options

Hawaii homeowners face a coverage landscape unlike most of the country.
Standard homeowners policies don’t automatically cover hurricanes or flooding, and depending on where your property sits, you may also need to consider lava zone risk.
We help Hawaii homeowners build coverage that accounts for what’s actually at risk.
That includes dwelling and personal property coverage, liability protection, and separate policies or endorsements for hurricane insurance, flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and lava zone-specific coverage options available through specialized carriers.
Whether you own a single-family home in Kailua, a condo on Maui, or a property on the Big Island, we’ll help you find coverage that fits.
Life Insurance

Life insurance is one of the most important financial decisions your family can make, and it’s also one of the most misunderstood.
Term life, whole life, and universal life policies each serve different needs depending on your age, income, family situation, and long-term goals.
Our agents explain your options in plain language, help you compare coverage amounts and premium structures, and connect you with a policy that fits what your family actually needs, not the most expensive option on the shelf.


Commercial Insurance for Hawaii Businesses

Hawaii’s business landscape includes everything from hospitality and tourism operators on Oahu and Maui to agricultural businesses on the Big Island and professional services firms across the islands.
Each industry carries its own risk profile, and each business deserves coverage built for its specific exposures.
The Allen Thomas Group provides commercial insurance for Hawaii businesses across lines:
- General Liability Insurance covers bodily injury and property damage claims from third parties
- Business Owners Policy (BOP) bundles property and liability coverage for qualifying small businesses
- Workers Compensation Insurance is required for most Hawaii employers and covers medical costs and lost wages for work-related injuries
- Commercial Auto Insurance covers business vehicles and fleets operating across the islands
- Professional Liability Insurance provides errors and omissions coverage for service-based businesses
Hawaii’s workforce and commercial regulations carry specific requirements, particularly around workers compensation.
Our agents are familiar with the Hawaii Employers’ Mutual Insurance Company (HEMIC) framework and can help you understand your obligations and options under Hawaii law.
Hawaii's Unique Insurance Risks
Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places on earth, and also one of the most complex from an insurance standpoint.
A few specific risk areas matter:
Hurricane Coverage: Hawaii sits in the Central Pacific hurricane belt. Most standard homeowners policies exclude wind damage from named storms. A separate hurricane policy, or a wind and hurricane endorsement, is essential for many Hawaii homeowners, particularly on Oahu, Maui, and Kauai where storm activity is more frequent.
Flood Insurance: A significant portion of Hawaii’s residential and commercial properties sit in FEMA-designated flood zones. Standard homeowners and commercial property policies do not cover flood damage. Flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or private flood carriers is a separate policy, and waiting periods apply, so the time to get it is before you need it.
Lava Zone Designations: The Big Island of Hawaii is divided into lava hazard zones, with zones 1 and 2 carrying the highest volcanic risk. Many standard carriers will not write property coverage in high-risk lava zones, and those that do often require specialized underwriting. We have access to carriers that work with lava zone properties and can help you navigate options that others may not offer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to work with an independent insurance agency in Hawaii?
An independent insurance agency is not captive to any single carrier. The Allen Thomas Group represents multiple top-rated insurance companies and compares coverage options and quotes across them on your behalf. We work for you, not for an insurer. That distinction matters in Hawaii’s complex coverage market, where hurricane, flood, and lava zone risks mean you need genuine access to carriers that actually write those lines. Our clients consistently describe the difference this makes. Josh Pearce, a verified Google reviewer, noted that his agent “shopped around for a bunch of quotes and found the best one for our family” and that “the process was super easy.” That experience reflects what independent agency access is designed to deliver.
Does The Allen Thomas Group cover Hawaii-specific risks like hurricanes, floods, and lava zones?
Yes. We help Hawaii clients find coverage for the risk types that matter most in the islands, including hurricane insurance and wind endorsements, flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and private flood carriers, and lava zone property coverage on the Big Island through carriers that write in high-hazard zones. Standard homeowners policies exclude most of these perils, and many Hawaii residents don’t discover those gaps until after a loss. The Allen Thomas Group holds a 4.9-star rating across 130+ Google reviews, reflecting a consistent track record of helping clients find coverage that fits their actual situation rather than a generic template.
How does The Allen Thomas Group compare insurance options for Hawaii clients?
When you contact us, we gather information about your coverage needs, whether that’s a home, auto, business, or life insurance question. We then access our network of top-rated carriers and compare options based on coverage terms, exclusions, and premiums. We present you with the options that best fit your situation and explain the differences without jargon. You don’t have to call multiple companies. We do that work for you. Deborah Grohe, a Google reviewer, described her experience: “My agent Kerri went out of her way to make sure my auto insurance was active at the end of the day on a Friday. She was very clear and helpful in making decisions since I’m living in a new state with very different insurance.” Hawaii clients navigating unfamiliar coverage territory can expect the same hands-on approach.
Can I get insurance for my Hawaii business through The Allen Thomas Group?
Yes. We provide commercial insurance for Hawaii businesses including general liability, workers compensation, business owners policies (BOP), commercial auto, and professional liability coverage. Hawaii’s workers compensation requirements are specific, and industries like hospitality, construction, and retail each carry unique exposures. Tyler Lasky, a business owner and Google reviewer, shared: “My insurance was kind of a mess and they helped me figure out exactly what I needed, got me excellent coverage, and did it all for less than I was paying my last broker.” We serve small business owners and larger operations on Oahu, Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai, handling both personal and commercial lines under one agency relationship.
How quickly can I get a quote for Hawaii insurance coverage?
Start by submitting a quote request or calling (440) 826-3676. Our team typically follows up within one business day to gather details and begin comparing options. For straightforward personal lines, we can often present coverage options quickly. For commercial lines or specialty coverage like lava zone properties, timelines depend on underwriting, but we’ll keep you informed at every step. Blaine Smith, a verified Google reviewer, put it directly: “They took the time to understand what I needed and helped me secure solid insurance coverage without hassle.” Across 130+ Google reviews averaging 4.9 stars, that speed and clarity is a pattern our clients return to describe again and again.
