Purchasing or Leasing a Honda Care® Vehicle: Your Complete Guide

Honda Care® is an extended warranty or vehicle service contract offered by Honda for both new and certified pre-owned Honda vehicles. It provides coverage for certain repairs and maintenance beyond the standard manufacturer's warranty. However, it's important to note that Honda Care is not a vehicle itself; it's a protection plan for your Honda vehicle. Here's a complete guide on how to purchase or lease a Honda Care® vehicle protection plan:

1. Determine Eligibility:

• Honda Care is typically available for new Honda vehicles and certified pre-owned Honda vehicles. If you already own a Honda vehicle, you may also be eligible for Honda Care within a certain timeframe.

2. Research and Choose a Plan:

• Honda Care offers different levels of coverage, so research the available plans and choose the one that best suits your needs. The plans can vary in terms of covered components and duration.

3. Contact a Honda Dealer:

• To purchase or lease a Honda Care protection plan, you need to contact an authorized Honda dealership. Visit their website or call them to inquire about Honda Care options.

4. Review the Terms and Coverage:

• Discuss the terms and coverage of the Honda Care plan with the dealership's finance or insurance department. Make sure you understand what is covered and for how long, as well as any deductibles or limits.

5. Get a Quote:

• The dealership will provide you with a quote for the Honda Care plan that you've selected. The cost can vary based on the coverage level, the duration of coverage, and the specific vehicle.

6. Financing Options:

• If you choose to purchase Honda Care, you may have the option to include the cost in your vehicle financing. The dealership's finance department can help you with this.

7. Negotiate and Finalize:

• You can negotiate the price of the Honda Care plan, just like you would negotiate the purchase price of the vehicle itself. Once you're satisfied with the terms and cost, finalize the purchase or lease agreement.

8. Payment:

• Make the required payment for the Honda Care plan. This could be a one-time payment, or you might have the option to pay in installments, depending on your agreement with the dealership.

9. Review the Plan Documents:

• Carefully review the plan documents and make sure you understand the terms, conditions, and any limitations of the Honda Care plan.

10. Keep Records:

• Maintain records of your Honda Care contract and payment receipts. You'll need these if you ever need to make a claim or if you decide to transfer the plan to a new owner when selling the vehicle.

11. Use the Coverage:

• If your vehicle requires covered repairs or maintenance, contact an authorized Honda service center to have the work done. Present your Honda Care contract and any necessary documentation when making a claim.

Remember that Honda Care is a separate agreement from your vehicle purchase or lease, and it extends the warranty coverage for certain components and services. Be sure to understand the details of the plan you're purchasing or leasing and how it complements the manufacturer's warranty on your Honda vehicle.
