Why do I need Honda Care if my new car is under the Limited Warranty?
While the Honda Limited Warranty covers 3 years/36,000 miles and the Honda Powertrain Warranty covers 5 years/60,000 miles, Honda Care offers a variety of mechanical and electrical coverage¹ with terms up to 8 years/120,000 miles.

¹ Exclusions include, but are not limited to, body parts, tires, maintenance items, glass, upholstery, trim, carpeting and ornamentation. Claims cannot exceed the cash value of the vehicle.

How does the deductible work?

Honda Care has two deductible options: $0 and $100.  ​The $0 option has slightly higher upfront cost, but is worth the difference in the long run as smaller repairs can be claimed without payment. If your plan has a deductible, it is paid on a per visit basis, regardless of home many repairs are made during that visit.

What happens to my Honda Care coverage if I sell my car?

If you choose to sell your car, Honda Care is transferable¹,² to the new owner. You also have the option to cancel and get a pro-rated refund.

¹ Actual coverages, limitations, and exclusions may vary. See your Service Contract and Cross Country Motor Club, Inc. (CCMC) Membership Guidelines and/or Emergency Roadside Assistance Guidelines for complete details.

² Transfer fees may apply.

I want to buy a vehicle service contract. Can I include the cost in my lease payment?
You may include a Honda Care Vehicle Service Contract (VSC) in your lease agreement if you purchase it at the time of your lease agreement. This adds protection but is not a leasing requirement and is fully optional. See your Honda dealer for details.
What should I do if my vehicle is lost, stolen or destroyed?
In this case, please continue to make your payments and immediately notify Customer Service to discuss the next steps. All leases include Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) to protect you if your insurance company pays less than it would cost to pay off the car. The lease GAP coverage provides different protection than the Honda or Acura Care GAP and certain exclusions and limitations apply, so please refer to your contract or contact Customer Service for details.
