Honda car insurance

Arguably Japan’s most innovative car manufacturer, Honda is at the forefront of engineering technology and development.

The brainchild of Soichiro Honda, who had a passion for engineering and motorbikes. Creating cars came later as the market developed and they wanted to keep up. With iconic cars like the NSX, Civic Type-R (insurance group 34) and Mugen they've really made a name for themselves in the world. They're leaders in technology and renowned for their cars being some of the most reliable on the market.

Honda also have a promise called Honda Happiness. Honda Happiness is a set of values and products they do, such as fixed price repairs and servicing to ensure there are no hidden costs. It also includes various products designed to help protect your car.

As much as Hondas are one of the most reliable and safest cars on the road, things can still go wrong. Here in the UK it's a legal requirement to have a valid car insurance policy to be able to drive on roads.

When you buy a car from Honda, it typically comes with free 7 day car insurance that covers you for social use. When the 7 days are up, you'll need to find a car insurance policy of your own, which is where we could help.

Lots of different factors can affect your car insurance premium, such as the group, like the Civic Type-R insurance group which is 34 (out of a maximum of 50), or the Honda Jazz which can be as low as group 12.

The tables below look at some of the specs of the current range of cars Honda make, some of which like the engine capacity, could have an impact on your car insurance premium.

Arguably Japan’s most innovative car manufacturer, Honda is at the forefront of engineering technology and development, and the new model Accord (available since 2008) reflects this with critically acclaimed build quality, economical engines and reliability. It has five stars for adult safety by Euro NCAP, and four for child safety.

The standard Honda Civic looks just as space-age as its devilish sibling, the Type-R, but is mellower under the bonnet. It is one of Honda's most popular cars and has sold millions since it was first introduced in 1973.

The Honda CR-V is a 4WD off-road car that isn’t meant to go off-road – the third generation has re-classed the CR-V as a crossover SUV.

Previously it was always meant to be a ‘proper’ off road vehicle. However it’s generally regarded as a highly practical car that can move people and things around in comfort and safety.

The Honda CR-Z is a sporty looking hybrid coupe introduced in the UK in 2010, though you'd never guess it was a hybrid just by the way it looks.

Any review of the CR-Z you read, comments on how nice this car is on the eyeballs, both inside and out. They also agree it’s a fun car to drive, which isn’t often said about a car with a hybrid engine.

The Honda Jazz is a supermini from the Japanese car manufacturer, and is available in a large range of model grades. These include the S, ES, S-T A/C, EX, EXL-T and variations of these.

There is also a hybrid version which comes availble as a HE, HS, HS-T, HX, and HX-T. With such a wide variety of models, the Honda Jazz is a car with something to offer almost everyone on every kind of budget.

Their first car, the T360 pick up rolled off the assembly line in 1963. Since then Honda has created genuine innovations in the car market, with its Civic range dominating small car sales in the US since the 1970s.

Honda engines are ranked as the most fuel efficient since 1984 and now Honda leads the development of Hydrogen cell-fuelled cars with zero emissions. Not surprising when Honda spends 5% of revenue on R&D.

Honda has won multiple awards over the years. Not only were the awards for individual car models but they also recognised Honda as a company for its customer care and quality.
