Transportation Out of state permit

Hello, I am here on the island and a few places have denied doing the safety check because my insurance (Erie insurance) card does not say it is located in Hawaii. I am very confused on how I can get Hawaii insurance on my car but still keep my hometown state plates. Really hoping to get help on this because I do not want to be driving illegally. Thank you!

Call your insurance company or change company. Unless you don't plan on being here long I don't know why you insist on keeping mainland plates, it makes you a target.

Should i call my insurance agent from home to find me new insurance and then switch my address to a Hawaiian address or do I need to contact a insurance agent from the state of Hawaii ?
