Do I need insurance for my Nintendo Switch?

You don’t have to have cover, but it’s a good idea in the event of something happening to your console. You may not need separate insurance for your Nintendo Switch if you are already covered by:

• Manufacturer’s warranty — If you only want to cover your Switch for faults and mechanical breakdown, it’s worth checking if your Nintendo Switch is still under warranty. But remember, it doesn’t cover loss, theft or accidental damage.
• Home contents insurance — If your Nintendo Switch is only used at home, your home contents insurance may already cover it for theft and accidental. However, your console isn’t covered for mechanical breakdown or if something happens to it outside the home.

Does Nintendo Switch insurance cover my controller if it breaks?

Yes, if your insurance policy covers damage to accessories, then your controllers will be covered.

Can I get Nintendo Switch insurance for a second-hand console?

How long will it take to replace my Nintendo Switch if I make a claim?

If your Nintendo Switch is stolen, most insurance providers aim to send you a replacement console within 48 hours of your claim. However, if your Nintendo Switch needs repairs, it may take several weeks.

How do I compare Nintendo Switch insurance quotes?

To find the best Nintendo Switch insurance cover for you, it’s a good idea to compare:

• Monthly cost — What you pay for insurance, usually over 12 months. The cost of your policy depends on what cover you want and any previous claims you’ve made.
• Excess — How much you pay towards the claim. You can often save money on your premium if you have higher excess. However, this is deducted from the overall value of the claim.
• Maximum cover — The most the insurer pays out if you make a claim. This should be enough to cover replacing your Nintendo Switch if you need to.
