Is a Honda Insight Expensive to Insure?

Most electric vehicles are more expensive to insure than regular cars because they cost more to replace and repair. As a hybrid electric vehicle, the Honda Insight has a surprisingly moderate average full coverage car insurance rate, which might be best explained by its superb crash test ratings and relatively low MSRP ($25,815 for the 2022 model). A Honda Insight is very safe to drive and won’t cost as much to repair or replace in an accident, so insurers don’t tend to charge more for insurance.

COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS

Its affordable rate and good service made GEICO our runner-up for the best insurance provider for a Honda Insight.

GEICO has a good selection of add-on coverages that you can purchase. Its mechanical breakdown insurance (MBI) covers all of your car’s parts and systems but usually costs less than a typical dealer extended warranty. To qualify, your Honda Insight must be less than 15 months old and have less than 15,000 miles on its odometer.

GEICO’s roadside assistance coverage helps you when your car is out of commission on the road, covering flat tires, towing and jumpstarts. You can also protect yourself from a significant rate increase following an at-fault accident by purchasing or earning GEICO’s accident forgiveness coverage (where available). You have to be over 21 and have been accident-free for five years or more to qualify.

Cost of Insuring a Honda Insight for 16- to 25-Year-Olds

Your age has an effect on your car insurance rate. Auto insurance for teens is much more expensive than for older drivers. For instance, a 16-year-old who purchases a full coverage policy for a Honda Insight pays around $6,283 per year on average, but a 40-year-old driver who purchases the same policy only has to spend around $1,386.

The good news is that teen car insurance becomes cheaper each year and evens out in their 20s.

Data filtered by:Results filtered by:

16$6,283
17$5,119
18$4,503

21$2,177
22$2,016
23$1,876
24$1,782
25$1,610

Even for the same make and model, you’ll typically notice stark differences in insurance rates from different providers. That’s why comparing quotes from multiple companies is best to find the cheapest teen car insurance.

For instance, a 16-year-old with a Honda Insight will get the cheapest full coverage policy from State Farm at around $3,543 per year. Farmers is the most expensive insurer at an average annual cost of $8,531.

These rates are for an individual policy. But, in most instances, a teen under 18 cannot legally purchase auto insurance without an adult co-signer. Plus, a smarter strategy that could help teens save up to thousands of dollars per year is being on a family policy.
