Yes—under Honda’s roadside assistance program, towing is included at no charge for eligible new Honda vehicles during the New Vehicle Limited Warranty period (typically 3 years or 36,000 miles), when the car cannot be safely driven and must be towed to the nearest Honda dealer.
Honda’s roadside assistance covers more than just towing and is designed to help drivers during breakdowns or emergencies. This article explains how the towing benefit works, what else is included, how to access it, and what changes after the warranty ends. Coverage can vary by country, model year, and terms, so check your owner’s manual or contact your dealer for region-specific details.
What the program covers during the warranty period
The following list outlines the main roadside services included with Honda’s warranty coverage, with towing as a central benefit for drivers in need.
- Towing to the nearest Honda dealership or authorized service center if the vehicle cannot be driven safely.
- 24/7 roadside assistance for emergencies within the country or region where the vehicle is registered.
- Lockout assistance if keys are locked inside the vehicle (availability may vary by location).
- Battery jump-starts to get you back on the road when the battery is dead.
- Flat-tire assistance (on-site) if you have a usable spare; if the tire cannot be serviced on-site, towing may be arranged.
- Fuel delivery service to help you reach the nearest fueling source (fuel cost billed).
Distance limits for towing and other details can depend on market, model year, and local terms. Always verify with your dealer or the official Honda roadside policy for your region.
How to access Honda Roadside Assistance
To request towing or any roadside service, contact the number listed in your owner’s manual or the Honda roadside assistance line. Have your VIN, your exact location, and a brief description of the issue ready. The service is coordinated through a network of providers and aims to tow the vehicle to the nearest approved Honda dealer or service center.
What happens after the warranty ends
Outside the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, towing is not automatically free. You can still access roadside services if you have an extended plan (such as Honda Care) or a third-party membership (for example, AAA) that covers towing. Costs will apply according to your plan or provider.
Summary
Honda’s roadside assistance includes free towing to the nearest Honda dealer for eligible new vehicles during the warranty period. After the warranty expires, towing is not automatically free unless you hold an extended coverage plan or a third-party roadside membership. Always confirm current terms with Honda in your region, as coverage can vary by country and model year.
