Honda Jazz insurance group and cost

Insurance companies use a rating system to help determine the cost of car insurance. All vehicles in the UK get assigned an insurance group from 1 (cheapest) to 50 (most expensive). Honda Jazz models are classed in group 13 to group 19, so there can be a bit of variation in how much you pay for insurance.

For example, a 30-year-old driver in an average postcode could pay around £756 for cover on a Honda Jazz 1.3 S 5d, or around £812 for a Honda Jazz Sport 1.5 i-VTEC 5d.

• Your driving history and activity
• Your car’s safety rating, security and any anti-theft precautions
• No claims discount

How can I save on my Honda Jazz premiums?

No one wants to be out of pocket when it comes to car insurance. So, for premiums that are affordable and won’t leave you counting pennies, we’ve compiled a list of suggestions that may help you to keep your premiums low.

• Pay annually rather than monthly. By paying annually, you could save an average of £72.11 a year.
• Make yourself a secure investment. By keeping a clean history of no claims and a good credit rating, you will appeal to providers and they might reward you with lower premiums.
• Be economical about your car usage. By limiting your car usage, you will keep your mileage and your premiums down. Plus, you’ll save money on petrol!
• Don’t just accept your renewal quote. Renewal quotes aren’t always the best offer out there, so make sure you shop around for a price that’s right for you.
• Install extra safety precautions. Providers don’t like to insure risks, so the safer you can make your car, the lower your premiums may become.
• Avoid driving convictions. Convictions of any kind, on or off the road, will hike up your premiums, so try your best to avoid them.
