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.

What is the Deductible for Phones and other items on AKKO's protection plans?
The deductibles for phones on our phone-only protection plans or our “Everything Protected” AKKO Plan ranges from $29 – $99 per claim based on the phone’s model. $99 is also the max deductible even for Theft or total replacement claims! (less than half the cost of most other protection providers.) Click here to view the deductibles for repairs/replacements on your specific phone make/model.
If you have one of our “Everything Protected” AKKO Plans which protects 1 phone + 25 other items, 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 all of 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 and personal items.
What is the coverage limit?
If you have a phone-only protection plan, the limit of protection is capped at the replacement cost value of your phone at the time of your claim. This means that no matter what, you will always be covered to get an exact replacement of your phone (down to the same make, model, color, technical specs, and carrier). There is no limit on the number of claims you may file.
For our “Everything Protected” AKKO Plans ($15/month for adults, $12 for students) there is a protection limit of $2,000 PER INCIDENT** for all items besides your phone. There are no annual protection limits or a limit on the number of claims you may file. Additionally, all protection is still based on replacement cost value of your damaged/stolen items determined at the time of the claim.
—
**$2,000 of protection PER INCIDENT means that if next week on Monday your laptop is stolen, up to the replacement value of your laptop is covered as long as that amount is less than $2,000.
If at another point in the same year you drop your tablet and the screen is smashed, up to the repair or replacement value cost of the tablet 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 laptop cost $1,800 and replacing your tablet had cost $500.
This demonstrates PER INCIDENT protection and the per incident limit with an AKKO Plan is $2,000. There is not an annual limit.
HOWEVER, if during a single incident someone steals your entire backpack, filled with your laptop, and tablet, up to $2,000 total is covered to replace 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 to be reimbursed.
Higher PER INCIDENT protection limits are available!
Once you’re registered, you can upgrade your plan to a PER INCIDENT limit as high as $10,000. But for a more common $3,000 – $5,000 PER INCIDENT protection limit upgrade, it’s only a few more dollars per month 🙂
The $2,000 of PER INCIDENT protection is more than enough for the majority of users based on our studies and the claims rates of currently protected AKKO users 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 limit.

1. 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.

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 🙂
Do I need to have my item receipts for coverage? What if I don't have them?
For any accidental damage claims, it is not a requirement to have the original purchase receipts for the items you want to protect on your plan. While preferred, you can establish “proof of ownership” of your items through other means.
For items you may have 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. If an item was gifted to you, you may be requested to receive a statement from them confirming this.
For theft claims, proof of purchase will need to be provided. If you don’t have the original receipt of your purchase, you can try to contact the original seller/retailer you purchased an item from as often they will have records of past transactions. You can try providing your name, phone number, email, or credit card number to try and track down a receipt for something you purchased.
You can also provide our team a record of your credit card or bank statement showing the date and amount paid for an item. Or if you purchase an item through a marketplace or from a private seller, you could provide a record of something like a PayPal or Venmo transaction.
What items are NOT covered by an AKKO Plan?
Automobile, motorcycle, boat, motor, aircraft or aircraft parts or any type of motorized land 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.
- Reimbursement for jewelry, watches, rings, and other items consisting of gold, silver, or platinum or furs is limited to $1,000.00 for any one incident of loss.
- Reimbursement for bicycles is limited to $1,000.
- Property in a personally owned automobile is protected, 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.
- Appliances: only counter-top appliances such as blenders, coffee makers, toasters, or microwaves are protected. Appliances which are wall mounted or integrated into cabinetry or have any types of utility hookups such as gas or water are not covered.
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.
To receive reimbursement for a stolen phone, you must be able to share the location timeline of the device.
If you have an android device:
Make sure “Find my Android” is working and enabled. Just go to your web browser and type “Find my Android” and click the first result, make sure you can see the device on a map displaying “last known location” and the device name and make/model.
If you have an iPhone:
The “Find My” app on iOS does not provide a history of your device’s location which can help provide proof of theft for your claim. Download the Google Maps app and be sure it is set to allow location access at all times. You can verify that your Google Maps timeline is available by checking here: https://www.google.com/maps/timeline
You will only need to show AKKO’s team your location history if your phone is ever stolen.
The protection you get with an AKKO Plan will cover theft, but will not cover “mysterious disappearance.”

When does my coverage take effect?
Your protection begins at 12:01 a.m. Standard Time at the location of your property the day after your account is created and payment is current and activation is completed.
There is a waiting period of up to 30 days for accidental damages or theft to be eligible for reimbursement from your plan. In situations where ample photo/video evidence is available when reviewing your reported loss and claim, this waiting period may be waived for losses from accidental damages.
Be sure to follow all instructions within your account for adding photos and information for your items.
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.
Photos of TVs should also be taken where the screen is powered on and displaying video/image. Also include photo of the serial #. For gaming consoles, be sure to include photos that show the device powered on with image/video visible on a display. Do not just include photos of the gaming console itself if it has no screen.
Can I add items that are older or used to my protection plan?
Yes!
The age or place you purchased your items does not matter. As long as an item is eligible for protection, 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 protected through AKKO. See what items are eligible for protection 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 receipt should you be asked to provide one during a claim. However, for any claim of theft, you must also be able to provide proof of purchase (such as a record of a PayPal or Venmo payment, or a copy of your credit card or bank statement showing the date and amount paid). Read more here about how purchase receipts are not required for coverage.
