How much factory warranty is left on your Insight?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Honda Insight factory warranty
New Honda vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Honda dealer.
The Insight is no longer sold new in the US, so most examples are close to or beyond the end of factory coverage.
Why body style matters
Sedans are the least demanding body style mechanically. There is one driven axle on most, no transfer case and less weight for the brakes and suspension to manage, so plan prices are usually at the lower end.
Hybrid system
A hybrid adds a high-voltage battery, an inverter, one or more motor-generators and an electric air-conditioning compressor. The hybrid battery usually has its own long factory warranty. Many extended plans exclude the battery but cover the inverter and motors, so read that section carefully.
About Honda
Hondas have a strong reliability record, which keeps plan prices lower than average. Newer models use small turbocharged engines and continuously variable transmissions, both more expensive to replace than the older designs.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Honda Insight eligible for extended coverage?
Eligibility depends on the vehicle's year and mileage, and each provider sets its own limits. Because the Insight is no longer sold new, older examples may qualify only for powertrain-level plans.
Which coverage level fits a Honda Insight?
If the hybrid system and transmission are your main concern, a powertrain plan covers them. If you also want air conditioning, electrical parts and electronics covered, look at a mid-level or comprehensive plan.
How much does a Honda Insight extended warranty cost?
Price depends on the model year, mileage, coverage level, deductible and your ZIP code. Request a quote with your details for an actual price.
