Jump to insightHonda Odyssey extended warranty coverage
You can purchase an extended auto warranty to lengthen your Honda Odyssey’s factory warranty. For context, all Hondas come with the following factory warranties:
- A 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty
- A 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty
Factory warranties follow the vehicle, not the owner. So, if you were to buy a two-year-old Honda Odyssey with 20,000 miles on it, you’d still have one year or 16,000 miles remaining of the factory’s bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Coverage options
For an extended warranty on your Honda Odyssey, you have two options:
HondaCare
The HondaCare Protection Plan, the official Honda extended warranty, starts when the factory warranty expires. It offers up to five years of coverage, depending on the model, along with unlimited usage, meaning it doesn’t have a set mileage limit. It covers your engine and major systems, and all repairs will be performed by an authorized Honda dealer.
Third-party extended warranty plan
Third-party extended warranty companies offer a range of plan types. With these plans, you can generally take your vehicle to any mechanic that has Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification.
Note that some third-party providers back-date coverage, meaning coverage will start with the original purchase date of the car, while other providers might start coverage at the time you purchase a plan.
Coverage level
Whether you go with an extended warranty from a dealer or a third-party provider, you’ll typically get the most value by purchasing whichever plan offers comprehensive, exclusionary protection. These plans typically cover 90% or more of the parts on your vehicle. Less comprehensive plans are less expensive, but the coverage they provide may leave you no option but to pay out of pocket for pricey repairs.
What’s covered and not covered
Auto warranties only pay for repairs and replacements of specific parts that fail from normal wear and tear. They don’t cover repairs or replacements from damage, accidents, improperly maintaining the vehicle or making aftermarket modifications.
In general, here’s what a bumper-to-bumper warranty and a powertrain warranty cover:
| Warranty type | Typically covered | Not covered |
|---|---|---|
| Bumper-to-bumper |
|
|
| Powertrain | Parts that create power and deliver it to the wheels | Parts not related to the engine, transmission or drive axle |

How much does a Honda Odyssey extended warranty cost?
A Honda Odyssey extended warranty from a third-party extended warranty provider typically costs between $700 and $1,500 per year for bumper-to-bumper coverage, according to our research. For HondaCare, it’s best to get a quote from your local Honda dealer to compare your options.
Shop around and get quotes from multiple warranty companies so you know you're getting the best deal for your Honda Odyssey.
For context, the typical cost of an extended warranty is around $1,000 per year of coverage. In general, quotes for extended auto warranties vary based on the coverage level and deductible you choose and a vehicle’s age, mileage and location. So, a 2024 Odyssey with zero miles will typically have cheaper extended warranty options than a 2022 model with 50,000 miles.
