Coverage

 

Honda Care Coverage

Listed below is a sample of Honda Care's extensive component coverage. Honda Care exclusionary coverage is the best type of coverage available at any price. Exclusionary coverage, commonly referred to a "bumper-to-bumper" coverage, covers every part and component on your Honda, unless it is specifically excluded. This means that if your door handle breaks and door handle is not listed as excluded, then it is covered.

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

While every effort has been made to provide a complete listing of covered and non-covered parts, this information is intended to provide an overview of coverages. Actual contract coverages, limitations and exclusions may vary. Actual Honda Care contract coverages, limitations and exclusions may vary.
