What is the difference between a car insurance and car warranty?
Is a warranty the same as having car insurance? I leased a new Honda and got a three-year warranty.
Sophie Newman · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“Even though both can help pay for repairs and offer protection for your new car, there’s a big difference between an auto warranty and
car insurance
. Essentially, an auto warranty is a promise from the manufacturer or dealer to cover various defects and repairs. All new Hondas have a Three-Year/36,000-mile limited warranty, plus a Five-Year/60,000-mile Powertrain limited warranty. Your warranty will cover your vehicle for three-years or 36,000 miles, depending on which happens first.
Car insurance protects you, your vehicle, and other drivers against unexpected damages. It’s legally required in most states. Driving without
state minimum car insurance
could result in some hefty fines and even jail time. While there are differences, having both car insurance and a warranty on a leased car is essential! Both can save you money in the long run, even if one is legally required.
