Hummer, a mammoth sized metal bull, is one of the most premium and off-roading cars in India. It is a legacy of the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) which is also known as the Humvee which has its roots in the American military. Later, based on the Humvee model, a civilian version, the 'Hummer H1,' was introduced. Its adoption by Arnold Schwarzenegger made it a buzz. Under the GM ( General Motors) ownership since 1999, the improved models Hummer H2 and Hummer H3 were introduced in the market.

The Hummer found its way in India via imports and with its price and demand ranging currently from 20 lakh to 1 crore depending on the model, year of manufacturing, variant and car and many other variables, which still requires a car insurance policy because it is an historical antique and living legacy.
