Executive Actuarial Summary: The Honda Civic averages $1,885 per year ($157/month) for 100/300/100 Full Coverage and $625 per year ($52/month) for State Minimum Liability in 2026. Why does a $25,500 compact Honda Civic cost ~$190/year more to insure than a $31,000 Toyota RAV4? Because the Civic has one of the youngest operator age distributions in America—and spans from the economical 150-HP Civic LX (Symbol 21) and 200-HP Civic Hybrid (Symbol 25) to the 315-HP turbocharged Civic Type R (Symbol 54).
