The chart of insurance rates above is intended to give a brief glimpse at the variability of insurance rates. If we added every rate for every possible rating scenario, including every possible driver risk and policy option, all CR-V trim levels, AND every zip code in the U.S., the chart would show about 677,376,000,000 different insurance rates just for a 2023 CR-V.

To give you a better idea of the full range of possible rates, consider that a liability-only insurance policy on a Honda CR-V in the cheapest areas of Maine or Virginia may be as low as $222 a year, while a newly-licensed teen driver with an at-fault accident or two and a few violations in urban New Orleans, Louisiana, could be as much as $12,844 a year for a policy with full coverage.

Other insights that reinforce the extreme variability of car insurance include:

• Car insurance for teenagers is expensive. Average rates for full coverage CR-V insurance costs $5,434 per year for a 16-year-old driver, $5,076 per year for a 17-year-old driver, and $4,736 per year for an 18-year-old driver.
• More policy discounts means cheap Honda CRV car insurance rates. Discounts may be available if the insured drivers are senior citizens, insure multiple vehicles on the same policy, insure their home and car with the same company, are accident-free, belong to certain professional organizations, or many other policy discounts which could save the average driver as much as $254 per year.
• Young males pay a lot more for insurance. For a 2023 Honda CR V, a 20-year-old male pays an average price of $2,992 per year, while a 20-year-old female will get a rate closer to $2,208, a difference of $784 per year in favor of the women by a long shot. But by age 50, the cost for a male driver is $1,366 and rates for female drivers are $1,338, a difference of only $28.
• Good credit scores mean better rates. In states that give the go-ahead for an insured’s credit score to be used as a policy cost factor, drivers who have credit scores over 800 may save as much as $235 per year versus a credit score ranging from 670-739. Conversely, an imperfect credit score below 579 could cost an additional $272 or more per year.
• Younger drivers pay higher rates. The difference in 2023 Honda CRV car insurance rates between a 60-year-old driver ($1,342 per year) and a 20-year-old driver ($2,992 per year) is $1,650, a difference of 55.1%.
• The higher deductible you choose, the lower the policy cost. Increasing deductibles from $500 to $1,000 could save around $230 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $452 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Lowering deductibles makes car insurance more expensive. Lowering your physical damage coverage deductibles from $500 to $250 could cost an additional $238 per year for a 40-year-old driver and $478 per year for a 20-year-old driver.
• Your employment could save you money. The vast majority of auto insurance companies offer policy discounts for having a job in professions like nursing, the military, law, first responders, college professors, and others. Qualifying for an occupational discount could potentially save between $45 and $178 on your CRV insurance bill, depending on the level of coverage purchased and the availability of the discounts.

The data below illustrates average full coverage Honda CR-V insurance rates for the 2013 through 2023 model years. Average 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.

How much is liability insurance on a Honda CR-V?

Deleting physical damage insurance coverage on an older Honda CR-V may save the average driver $480 or more annually, depending on the level of physical damage deductibles and the driver age.

A common rule of thumb for dropping full coverage is when the value of the vehicle drops below 10 times the cost of the coverage, it’s time to consider removing the coverage from the policy.

For example, if the cost of comprehensive and collision coverage combined on your Honda is $600 a year, the point at which it may make sense to drop full coverage is when the replacement value of the SUV falls below $6,000.

Removing full coverage is a completely personal decision and there is no right or wrong time to do it. If you do drop it, you may want to ensure you have the financial resources available to purchase a different vehicle if your CR-V is totaled in an accident or weather-related incident.

The table below compares full coverage annual insurance rates to liability-only annual rates starting with the second generation CR-V in 2002 up to the 2012 model year.
