Honda Insurance
Motor insurance for Honda drivers across the UK
Honda has built a reputation for reliability, innovation, and exceptional value that spans over seven decades. At Chris Knott Insurance, we understand that Honda owners appreciate quality engineering and dependable performance, which is why we’re committed to sourcing the same standards of excellence in our motor insurance cover.
Whether you drive a practical Civic, the versatile CR-V, the sporty Type R, or any model from Honda’s extensive range, our experienced team has the knowledge and insurer relationships to secure protection for your Honda vehicle.
What makes Honda vehicles appealing to insurers?
Honda’s commitment to safety, reliability, and engineering excellence makes its vehicles particularly attractive to insurance providers. The brand consistently receives high safety ratings across its model range, with many Honda vehicles earning five-star Euro NCAP safety ratings.
The reliability factor that Honda is famous for translates into lower breakdown rates and fewer unexpected mechanical failures, which insurers view favourably when calculating premiums. Honda’s reputation for building vehicles that maintain their value well also means that agreed value policies and reasonable premiums are often more readily available.
Honda’s focus on practical, everyday motoring rather than extreme performance means that many models fall into lower insurance groups, making them cost-effective choices for drivers seeking reliable transportation without premium insurance costs.
What Honda models can we insure?
Our motor insurance arrangements cover the complete Honda range, from efficient city cars to family SUVs and performance vehicles. Whether you own a brand-new model or a cherished older Honda, we have the expertise to arrange appropriate cover.

- Honda CR-V – This popular family SUV combines space, efficiency, and Honda’s hybrid technology. The CR-V’s excellent safety record helps keep insurance costs reasonable.
- Honda HR-V – The compact crossover that bridges the gap between hatchback and SUV, offering versatility with reasonable insurance costs.
- Honda Jazz – Perfect for city driving, the Jazz’s compact size and excellent safety features make it an insurance-friendly choice for many drivers.

What factors influence your Honda insurance premium?
Understanding the elements that affect your insurance cost helps you make informed decisions about cover and risk management. Several factors impact the cost of insuring your Honda:
- Model and Engine Size – Different Honda models fall into various insurance groups based on performance, value, and repair costs
- Driver Profile – Your age, driving history, and location significantly influence premium calculations
- Annual Mileage – Lower mileage drivers often qualify for reduced premiums
- Security Features – Honda’s standard security systems can help reduce theft risk and lower premiums
- Storage Location – Secure parking, especially garage storage, can significantly reduce insurance costs
- No Claims Discount – Your claims history directly impacts the premium you’ll pay
Honda Safety Features
Modern Honda vehicles come equipped with Honda SENSING safety technology as standard across most of the range. This comprehensive suite of safety features includes collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control, all of which can help reduce insurance premiums.
Modifications and Enhancements
If you’ve modified your Honda or added aftermarket accessories, it’s essential to declare these to your insurer. Our team can help ensure that any modifications are properly covered whilst maintaining reasonable premiums.
What coverage options are available for your Honda?
Our Honda motor insurance policies can be tailored to include a wide range of cover options designed to protect both you and your vehicle.
Essential Cover
- Comprehensive Cover – Protection against collision, theft, vandalism, and other perils. This is typically the most cost-effective option for Honda vehicles due to their good value retention.
- Third Party, Fire and Theft – A middle-ground option that sources liability cover plus protection against fire and theft, suitable for older Honda vehicles where comprehensive cover may not be cost-effective.
- Third Party Only – The legal minimum cover, though rarely recommended due to the limited protection it provides.
Optional Enhancements
- Breakdown Cover – Honda’s reliability means breakdowns are less common, but breakdown cover sources peace of mind for longer journeys
- Legal Expenses – Protection against legal costs arising from motoring incidents, including uninsured loss recovery.
- Personal Accident Cover – Additional protection for you and your passengers in the event of an accident.
- Key Cover – Replacement of lost or damaged keys, particularly valuable for modern Honda vehicles with sophisticated key systems.
