How much does Honda CR-V insurance cost?
2023 Honda CR-V insurance costs on average $1,496 per year for a full coverage policy. Monthly payments range from $121 to $131, depending on the trim level.
Two factors that have a direct impact on the price you pay for car insurance are the age of the driver and the age of the CR-V you’re insuring.
The table below details average car insurance rates by model year and driver age for 2023, 2020, and 2017 Honda CR-V models. The average cost per year and cost per month values assume a 40-year-old driver.
| 2023 Honda CR-V | 2020 Honda CR-V | 2017 Honda CR-V | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Insurance Cost Per Year | $1,496 | $1,286 | $1,130 |
| Insurance Cost Per Month | $125 | $107 | $94 |
| 16-year-old Driver | $5,434 | $4,632 | $4,120 |
| 18-year-old Driver | $4,736 | $4,044 | $3,568 |
| 20-year-old Driver | $2,992 | $2,560 | $2,238 |
| 25-year-old Driver | $2,184 | $1,869 | $1,634 |
| 30-year-old Driver | $1,572 | $1,356 | $1,184 |
| 40-year-old Driver | $1,496 | $1,286 | $1,130 |
| 50-year-old Driver | $1,366 | $1,174 | $1,032 |
| 60-year-old Driver | $1,342 | $1,152 | $1,014 |
Another factor that affects the cost of CR-V insurance, and one that you can control unlike your age, is the physical damage coverage deductible you choose for your policy.
The following chart illustrates how 2023 model year Honda CR-V car insurance rates vary based on different rated driver ages and policy deductible amounts.
The data in the chart confirms two important points.
First, younger drivers pay higher car insurance rates. Less-experienced drivers have a higher frequency of accidents, which results in more expensive insurance.
The 20-year-old driver with a $500 deductible policy pays $1,626 more per year (74.6%) than a 50-year-old driver with the same coverage.
Second, higher deductibles save money on car insurance. This is clearly illustrated by the right-most bar for each age group in the chart. For the average 40-year-old driver, a $250 deductible policy costs around $460 more per year than a policy with $1,000 comprehensive and collision deductibles.
One of the best discounts on Honda CR-V insurance can be earned when you bundle it with your home insurance, if possible. Doing this can save an average of $165 per year when insuring a 2023 model year CR-V.
With the average 2023 model year compact sport utility vehicle costing $1,606 a year to insure, the Honda CR-V costs $110 less each year to insure than the segment average rate.
If we compare CR-V insurance rates to all other 2023 vehicles, not just compact SUVs, rates are 23.8% lower on the Honda than the overall 2023 model year rate of $1,900, as shown in the table below.
| Policy Coverage | 2023 Honda CR-V | 2023 All Vehicle Average | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Comprehensive | $332 | $468 | -34% |
| Collision | $680 | $886 | -26.3% |
| Liability | $338 | $382 | -12.2% |
| Med/PIP Other | $146 | $164 | -11.6% |

Which company has the best Honda CR-V insurance rates?
In our comparison, we found USAA to have the best insurance rates on a 2023 Honda CR-V at $1,049 per year. However, USAA is only available to veterans, active members of the military, and their families.
The company you choose to insure your CR-V is obviously going to make a difference in the rate you pay. Each company sets its own rates and uses different factors when calculating prices.
After USAA, Progressive had the next cheapest rates at $1,261 per year, followed very closely by GEICO at $1,272.
It’s important to note that we compare just a select few large insurance companies in the chart, primarily because they are available nationwide. There are many companies that only sell insurance in a specific region of the U.S. or even just a state or two.
When comparing rates, it’s a good idea to not only get insurance quotes from the big companies but also from several smaller carriers as well. This helps ensure you have a good selection of rates and can make a better-informed decision about where to buy coverage from.

Policy discounts make CR-V insurance cheaper
Everyone wants cheaper car insurance, and discounts are a great way to make that happen. Every insurance company offers discounts, but some offer a more extensive list of discounts that can help bring down the cost.
Some discounts don’t require that you do anything to receive them, as they will be automatically applied when you buy or renew your policy. These are things like claim-free discounts and good driver discounts.
Other discounts may require you to first know about it, and second to qualify for it. This might be a discount like being a member of a professional organization, being employed in a specific occupation, or having a teen driver with good grades. These are discounts that should be made available in the application process but may require some follow-up paperwork to verify your eligibility.
The list below shows some of the best discounts available and the larger U.S. car insurers that offer them. If you are insured with a different company, it’s a good idea to have them double-check that you’re receiving every possible discount you qualify for.

Insurance savings for used CR-V models
Skipping the 2023 model and instead driving an older model year Honda CR-V is a great way to save some money on car insurance. Current model year vehicles have a much higher replacement value, and older models have less value, which translates into a lower insurance cost.
The data below illustrates average full coverage Honda CR-V insurance rates for the 2013 through 2023 model years. Average full-coverage insurance rates range from the cheapest price of $980 for a 2013 Honda CR-V to the most expensive rate of $1,496 for a 2023 CR-V.
| Model Year and Vehicle | Annual Rate | 6-month Rate | Monthly Rate |

As vehicles age, their value decreases, and at some point, it just doesn’t make sense to continue paying for full coverage insurance. The decision to drop full coverage and insure with only liability insurance is a personal one that you have to make based on your own financial situation.
If you no longer carry comprehensive physical damage coverage, you won’t be able to recoup the cost of repairs for things like hail, flood, fire, theft, or vandalism.
If you drop collision coverage, then obviously you won’t have any insurance coverage to reimburse you for the cost of repairs to your vehicle if you hit another car, a tree, the side of your garage, or things of that nature.
CR-V models that are approaching 8 to 10 years old are probably candidates for insuring with just liability insurance. But again, every situation is unique and some people just prefer to have the peace of mind of knowing that their vehicle is covered if something does happen.
