About $1,324 a year for full coverage on a national average — 8% less than the $1,438 average car. Insurers rate the Honda Fit at an index of 92 where 100 is a typical vehicle, based on how often and how expensively these cars actually generate claims (latest data covers 2018-2020).
The premium isn't spread evenly. Personal injury (PIP) — no-fault injury cover in some states — carries this car's highest loss index at 107, while Comprehensive sits at 67. That gap is the real reason behind the price, and it's the part a quote form never shows you. Against what the car is worth the bill looks different again: a 2020 Fit sells for a median $15,500, so a year of cover costs 8.5% of the car's value. Calculated from 13 insurance-loss records and live US listing prices.
Why a Fit costs what it does
Insurers don't price a car with one number — they track losses separately for each kind of cover. An index of 100 is the average vehicle, so anything above means this model generates costlier claims of that type:
Read it as «where the money goes». A high Collision figure means these cars are expensive to repair after a crash; a high Comprehensive figure points at theft, weather and vandalism instead. Estimated annual split at $1,324: Liability (BI + PD) $636 · Collision $371 · Comprehensive $159 · Other (UM / PIP) $159.
How it changed by generation
Insurance-loss index of the Fit across every generation in the data. Newer isn't automatically cheaper — driver-assist systems cut crash frequency, while sensors and aluminium panels push repair bills up:
Each point averages every recorded variant of that generation. The Fit has become more expensive to insure over time (+3 points).
What a Fit costs by state
Where you park matters as much as what you drive. The Fit's index applied to each state's average premium — the same car, the same cover, different postcode:
| State | Fit est. / yr | vs national |
|---|---|---|
| Florida | +39% vs US | |
| Louisiana | +38% vs US | |
| New York | +32% vs US | |
| District of Columbia | +26% vs US | |
| Georgia | +21% vs US | |
| Texas | +20% vs US | |
| Wisconsin | -30% vs US | |
| Hawaii | -31% vs US | |
| Idaho | -32% vs US | |
| North Dakota | -33% vs US | |
| Vermont | -33% vs US | |
| Maine | -36% vs US |
Six priciest and six cheapest states shown. Figures are the state's average premium scaled by this model's loss index — your own quote also depends on age, record, deductible and ZIP.
More on the Honda Fit
Honda Fit insurance — frequently asked
How much is insurance for a Honda Fit?
About $1,324 a year for full coverage at the national average, versus $1,438 for a typical car. That's the model's insurance-loss index of 92 applied to the US average premium.
Why is the Fit expensive or cheap to insure?
Its costliest area is Personal injury (PIP) (index 107), which covers no-fault injury cover in some states. Insurers set premiums from claim history like this, not from the sticker price.
Is that a lot relative to the car's value?
A year of cover is 8.5% of what a 2020 Fit sells for (a median $15,500). Cheap cars often show a higher percentage even when the dollar premium is lower.
Does its safety rating lower the premium?
Not directly. The Fit holds 5 stars from NHTSA, but crash-test performance and repair cost are priced separately — a car can protect occupants well and still be costly to fix.
Where does this data come from?
Insurance-loss indices published for real vehicles, combined with NAIC state average premiums. It's claim history, not a quote engine — so it shows what these cars actually cost insurers rather than what one company would offer you.
Will my own quote match this?
Treat it as a baseline for the car itself. Your figure also moves with age, driving record, deductible, mileage and ZIP code — the same Fit can differ by hundreds between two drivers.
