Why is this protection such a good deal?
The short answer: because AKKO is using technology to make facilitating and managing protection for your stuff more efficient and cost less. Typical insurers charge really high fees on the insurance and protection plans you buy because of the work involved in processing policies and claims, as well as the cost to advertise and market the coverage to consumers.
At AKKO, we’re trying to change that so that customers can get great and affordable protection that’s simple and all-inclusive, instead of being taken advantage of by purchasing multiple protection plans and insurance for all the stuff they own individually.
Doesn't my Renter's Insurance protect me against this stuff?
Renter’s or Homeowner’s insurance WILL NOT protect your items against Accidental Damages, such as:
> Cracked Screens
> Spills & Liquid Submersion
> Accidental Damage (like drops)
> Damage & Malfunctions from Accidental Damage/Drops
So if you were to drop your phone, you’d be on your own for the $250 screen replacement. But with an AKKO plan, your coverage would nearly pay for itself within the first year!
Your Renter’s or Homeowner’s policy WILL cover Theft, however, your policy will typically have a $250 – $1,000 deductible and if you make a claim, your rates can increase because the claim gets reported and added to the equivalent of your “credit score” for insurance.
So would it ever really be worth it to make a claim if your $800 smartphone got stolen? Probably not… Whereas with an AKKO plan, you could file a claim, pay only a $100 deductible, and the cost to repair or replace your device would be covered! Any claim made on your coverage plan also does NOT affect your insurance credit score and your rates also won’t increase because you file a claim, it’s always $15/month!
IMPORTANT NOTE: As many people learn the hard way… Auto Insurance DOES NOT cover items stolen during vehicle break-ins. Your Auto Insurance will cover the damage to your vehicle itself, such as a broken window. However, an AKKO plan will cover your items stolen from a vehicle break-in and you still only pay your $100 deductible to get replacements for the items that were stolen or damaged. (integrated car accessories or audio equipment like speakers/decks are not covered, see “what’s not covered” for full list of exclusions)
Does my Car Insurance cover theft from a vehicle break-in? (nope)
Car Insurance unfortunately DOES NOT cover the items that get stolen during a vehicle break-in, it only covers damages to the vehicle itself!
We hear from countless customers about this one… You’d think that “car” insurance would cover everything related to your car, right?
Well unfortunately, your car insurance is only that, insurance for your car including the damage it may do to other people’s property, car, or themselves.
If your car gets broken into, you’ll be on the hook for replacing any of the contents in your car which were stolen. This could be your laptop, backpack, bike, clothes, or whatever else you had in there.
You car insurance will pay for things like your broken window, or damaged door.
Are APPLE STORE repairs covered?
After you file a claim for your Apple devices, typically you’ll be directed to go to your closest Apple Store, but if you don’t live near one, or would rather go to a closer electronics repair shop, you can go there as well!
If your device has damages which one of our repair partners or a shop near you is unable to solve, we’ll help you get the work done straight through Apple.
So I only pay $99 ($49 for students) when any of my items are affected by Damage or Theft?
Yup! The amount you pay when something of yours is damaged or stolen is called your “deductible.”
It’s the amount we deduct from your payout for a claim. The reason insurance and protection plans contain a deductible is so that you are still motivated to be careful with your stuff.
But we make sure to set a deductible that’s at least easily affordable rather than the $250 – $400 deductibles on most other protection plans for phones, laptops, and other items or a renter’s or homeowner’s insurance policy.

- Spills & Liquid Submersion
- Accidental Damage (like drops)
- Damage & Malfunctions from Accidental Damage/Drops
- Theft & Vandalism
- Theft of items from an unattended vehicle via forced entry (car break-ins)

What is the Deductible for Phones and other items on AKKO's protection plans?
The deductibles for phones is $29 – $99 per claim based on the phone’s model. $99 is also the max deductible even for Theft or total replacement claims! (more than half the price of other providers.) Click here to view the cost to protect your phone and the deductibles for repairs/replacements.
For our AKKO Plans all other items besides your phone are subject to a $99 deductible ($49 for students) for any incident of Accidental Damage or Theft.
This amount that is “deducted” from any reimbursement payout you receive exists so that individuals are still motivated to be careful with their stuff.
But with AKKO’s protection plans, we made sure to have the deductibles at least be set at easily affordable amounts rather than the $150 – $400 deductibles seen on many other protections plans for phones, laptops, and other electronics.
What is the coverage limit?
The AKKO Base Plans ($15/month for adults, $10 for students) includes $2,000 of reimbursement protection PER INCIDENT**. There are no annual reimbursement limits or a limit on the number of claims you may file.
—
**$2,000 PER INCIDENT means that if next week on Monday your phone is stolen, up to the replacement value of your phone is covered as long as that amount is less than $2,000.
If at another point in the same year you drop your laptop and the screen is smashed, up to the repair or replacement value cost of the laptop is covered as well as long as it’s less than $2,000.
But, there is not an annual limit of $2,000 which would be exhausted in case replacing your phone cost $900 and replacing your laptop had cost $1,500.
This demonstrates PER INCIDENT protection and the per incident reimbursement limit with an AKKO Plan is $2,000. There is not an annual reimbursement limit.
HOWEVER, if during a single incident someone steals your entire backpack, filled with your phone, and laptop, up to $2,000 total is covered to reimburse you for replacing those items and any other contents of your backpack, plus the backpack itself. So if the combined replacement cost was above $2,000 for all these items, you would only have coverage up to $2,000.
Higher PER INCIDENT coverage limits are available!
Once you’re registered, you can upgrade your coverage to a PER INCIDENT reimbursement limit as high as $6,000. But for a more common $3,000 – $5,000 PER INCIDENT limit upgrade, it’s only a few more dollars per month 🙂
The $2,000 PER INCIDENT limit is more than enough for the majority of users based on our studies and the claims rates of current members nationwide. But for those with more expensive items like a high-end laptop, or specialty gear like photography or music/audio equipment, the option to upgrade your limit is easily available. Simply contact us via the “billing” section of your account and we can upgrade your coverage limit.

We re-state all this information under this separate Frequently Asked Question because sometimes users don’t click through all questions/answers and we want to make sure all prospective customers are fully informed 🙂
NOTE: All plans are per individual and will only cover items that the individual owns. This means that if you file a claim, you must have proof of ownership of an item.
What items are NOT covered by an AKKO Plan?
Automobile, motorcycle, boat (including kayaks, canoes, or other watercraft with hulls), motor, aircraft or aircraft parts or any type of motorized land or aquatic vehicle or other conveyances or their accessories (including car stereos, GPS navigation devices, keyless entry), money in currency or coin, evidences of debt, letters of credit, passport documents, notes, securities, transportation tickets or any other tickets, pharmaceuticals, prescription or over- the- counter, artwork, professional or amateur, antiques or collectables, animals, firearms or ammunition, salesman samples, contact lenses, keys, artificial teeth or limbs, or merchandise for sale, forms of identification, including student ID’s and driver’s licenses.
- Coverage for jewelry, watches, rings, and other items consisting of gold, silver, or platinum or furs is limited $1,000.00 for any one Loss.
- Coverage for bicycles is limited to $1,000.00.
- Property in a personally owned automobile is covered, provided that the vehicle was locked and windows are fully closed at the time of theft and there was visible evidence of forced entry into the vehicle.
- Surfboards are protected for theft and damage due to mishandling on airlines, accidental damage from non-airline transportation or use/handling not included.
Does an AKKO Plan cover Lost Items and Lost Phones?
If you were to “Lose” one of your belongings, you would need to evaluate the situation to determine if it fell under being theft, or what’s called “mysterious disappearance” (aka, you simply misplaced your belonging and have no idea where it went).
Use tools like Find My iPhone/Android to try and recover your phone, or similar services to track down a laptop/tablet. Take screenshots or record evidence of your attempts to recover your phone to provide the most complete set of evidence you can with your claims.
The coverage you get with an AKKO Plan will cover theft, but will not cover “mysterious disappearance.”
Can I add Multiple Phones to my AKKO Plan?
All plans are per individual and will only cover items that the named individual on the policy owns (gifts are OK). Plans cannot be shared with friends or family members.
Adult and Student Plan accounts may have up to (1) phone on their account. To add more phones, you must purchase additional Adult and/or Student Plans.
We offer a 5% discount if purchasing (2) or more plans!

How can I cover multiple phones? Are there deals for family packages?

All plans protect your phones against Accidental Damage & Theft!
Best of all, in addition to everyone’s phones being protected, all their other personal electronics and belongings are protected too at no extra cost!

When does my coverage take effect?
For customers registered Nov. 3, 2020 and after:
Your protection with an AKKO Plan begins 12:01AM the day after your account has been created as long as you have activated your account and completed set-up and your payment is current.
To have protection be effective for your items, photos of them should be uploaded to your account in accordance with all guidelines and instructions listed in your account.
Protection for incidents of accidental damage may not be eligible for reimbursement if they occur within the first 30 days from your registration date. But if all requested information and evidence is provided to our team, the waiting period may not apply.
Photos of phones and tablets should be uploaded using the phone’s own cameras (front and rear) to provide pictures of the front (screen) and back sides of the device by taking the photos in front of a mirror. A photo of the phone’s “About” page in settings should also be provided by using another device (do not provide a screenshot) and the serial # of the device should be visible.
Photos of laptops and computers should be taken by including a photo of the device with the screen powered on and also displaying the “about” page showing the specs and serial # of the computer.
For customers registered prior to Nov. 3, 2020:
Your coverage is backed by NSSI, you can reference all terms of their coverage here: https://getAKKO.com/legal
Your coverage begins 12:01AM the day after your account has been created and payment is made. It may take up to a week to receive policy documentation from NSSI after your information has been submitted to them.
There is a 30 day waiting period for claims of accidental damage. Your coverage for theft, vandalism, and all other perils begins as soon as your coverage does.
Can I add items that are older or used to my coverage?
Yes!
The age or place you purchased your items does not matter. As long as an item is eligible for coverage, regardless of its age or if you purchased it used from a store or individual, you can add it to your plan and have it covered through AKKO. See what items are eligible for coverage here.
For items you purchased used or through a 3rd party marketplace platform such as Craigslist, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or OfferUp, request an email be sent to you by a seller stating the date you purchased an item, the amount paid, and what the item was. This can suffice as a purchase receipt should you be asked to provide one during a claim! You can follow this method including if you paid for items in cash and screenshot a payment you made via Venmo or another payment app or service like PayPal. Read more here about how purchase receipts are not required for coverage.
