How much is it to register a car in Hawaii?
I just moved to Hawaii and I love it! My only problem is that it’s been hard to get around. I’d like a car, but I need to know about all the expenses before I start. How much does it typically cost to register cars in Hawaii?

Hawaii
is a beautiful state and it sounds like an awesome place to live! Cars are an important tool for getting around, even on islands! If you’d like to register a car in Hawaii, it’ll likely be around $117.That might seem a little high, but the price includes:
- $45 state fee
- $12 county
- $1.75 tax for every pound a car weighs
If your car weighs over 4,000 pounds, you’ll need to pay two cents per pound. Luckily, the average car only weighs around 3,600 pounds—so that shouldn’t be a problem.
Another expense you’ll want to look at is
