If you drive a Honda, you can expect to pay an average monthly premium of around $148 for car insurance, which is comparable to the national average of $150. Hondas tend to be relatively inexpensive to insure thanks to their high safety ratings and generally low repair costs.[1][2]
On the other hand, some models — like the Accord and Civic — may cost more to insure due to a history of higher theft rates.[3] Your costs can also vary depending on your model and whether you’re driving an SUV, sedan, minivan, or hatchback.
Other factors, such as your credit history, ZIP code, and driving history, will also affect car insurance costs. Comparing quotes from multiple insurers and taking advantage of car insurance discounts will help you find the best car insurance rates for your Honda.
The average Honda driver pays $148 per month for car insurance.
GEICO, State Farm, and Progressive are some of the best car insurance companies for Hondas.
You can save money on car insurance by having certain safety features, driving an older model, or choosing a vehicle that’s less prone to theft.
What You Can Expect to Pay to Insure Your Honda
Whether you’re a longtime Honda owner or considering buying one, you’re probably wondering how Honda's car insurance costs compare to other vehicles. The table below shows the average monthly cost of car insurance for a Honda based on the coverage type and how each compares to the average of all other vehicles, according to Compare.com data.
Vehicle Type | Average Monthly Premium: Liability Coverage | Average Monthly Premium: Full Coverage | Overall Average for All Policies |
---|---|---|---|
Honda | $103 | $192 | $148 |
All makes | $106 | $194 | $150 |
Overall, Honda drivers tend to pay slightly less than the national average for car insurance overall and both for liability and full-coverage policies.
Average Honda Insurance Costs by Model
The specific Honda model you drive can affect your insurance rates. Factors like the car’s value, repair costs, safety ratings, and theft rates all affect your car insurance premiums. The amount of car insurance coverage you choose also plays a significant role.
For example, a basic liability policy will meet your state-minimum coverage requirements and cost less, but it won’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage. Full-coverage car insurance costs more because it provides greater protection.
Check out the table below to see how average rates vary between Honda models, according to Compare.com data.
Model | Average Liability Premium | Average Full-Coverage Premium |
---|---|---|
Accord | $121 | $224 |
Civic | $115 | $211 |

Pilot | $94 | $173 |
Prologue | $163 | $302 |
Ridgeline | $97 | $179 |
All Honda models | $103 | $192 |
The CR-V is the cheapest Honda model to insure, with an average monthly rate of $89 for liability coverage and $164 for full coverage. On the other hand, the Honda Prologue is the most expensive model, costing an average of $163 per month for a liability policy and $302 for full coverage.

How to Choose the Right Coverage for Your Honda
It’s important to not only look for the cheapest rate but to find car insurance that fits your needs. Choosing the cheapest car insurance policy doesn’t help if it leaves you underinsured after an accident. Just about every U.S. state requires drivers to have minimum-liability insurance, but you may want to consider buying more coverage.
A liability-only policy only pays for the other driver’s injuries and damages to their vehicle. But full-coverage car insurance includes collision coverage and comprehensive insurance, which covers you and your vehicle after an accident, theft, or weather-related damage.
If you drive an older, high-mileage Honda that you’ve paid off, you might consider getting basic liability coverage. Just be sure this makes sense for your situation.
But if you drive a new Honda, you’ll likely benefit from purchasing full coverage to protect your car’s value. Comprehensive insurance is especially important for Accord and Civic models, which are often targets for theft. Gap insurance can be helpful if you drive a new Honda.
If you live in a state with a high rate of uninsured drivers, consider uninsured motorist coverage, which protects you if you’re in an accident with a driver without coverage. Once you understand your options, you can begin looking for the best car insurance companies for Hondas.
How to Get Cheaper Car Insurance for Your Honda
Honda car insurance is pretty affordable compared to other vehicles, but some strategies to help you lower your car insurance for your Honda include:
Leverage your car’s safety features. Many Honda models come equipped with safety features, which could help you qualify for a discount. For example, the 2025 Honda Accord comes with a collision warning system, driver knee airbags, and a lane-departure warning system.
Choose a low-risk model. Car insurance tends to be cheaper for the CR-V, likely thanks to its safety features.
Maintain a clean driving record. Your driving history is one of the biggest factors influencing the cost of your policy. Drivers with clean records will always pay the lowest rates for car insurance.
Bundle your policies. Most insurance companies will offer you a discount for bundling multiple policies together. For example, you could receive a discount for buying your auto, home, and life insurance from the same insurer.
Shop around and compare quotes. Rates can vary considerably among different insurers, so it’s important to shop around and compare quotes from several insurance companies.
