Everything you need to know about insurance for Vive

There is no knowing if or when something will happen to your HTC Vive, which is why Vive insurance is important. Rather than worrying about how you would cover the cost of repairing damage or buying a replacement, you can relax knowing that insurance is there to help you out. Not only does it help financially, but it provides peace of mind. Our guide below details everything you need to know about insurance for Vive.

What is Vive insurance?

Vive insurance covers the cost of repairing or replacing your Vive product if it is unfortunately lost, stolen or damaged. There is no denying the expense associated with repairing or replacing a Vive, but insurance is there to help cover the cost.

Do I need Vive insurance?

There is nothing that says you must insure a Vive, but it is something that we recommend. If you would struggle to pay for a replacement Vive or for expensive repairs out of pocket, insurance is well worth considering. It’s impossible to know if something will happen to your Vive. 

What does Vive insurance cover?

Vive insurance generally covers loss, theft and accidental damage. Considering a Vive product is largely used from the comfort of your own home, accidental damage is the main thing to look for in an insurance policy. It may not come as standard. Also worth noting is that Vive insurance does not cover general wear and tear.

What is not covered by Vive insurance?

There are some things that are not covered by Vive insurance, such as wear and tear as mentioned above. You may not be covered if the item was left somewhere in plain sight and if it was not locked away. For example, you may not be able to claim if you left the Vive next to an open downstairs window or on the front seat of your car. 

Can I insure multiple Vive products?

Yes, you can insure multiple Vive products using the same insurance policy. A lot of providers offer policies that cover multiple gadgets and devices. Insuring everything with one policy can help to keep things simple. 

Do I need to insure my Vive if it’s under warranty?

It is a good idea to insure your Vive, even if it’s still under warranty. This is because Vive insurance covers for theft, loss and accidental damage. Warranties don’t generally cover as much as insurance does. Warranties only last between 12 and 24 months, but Vive insurance is available for much longer.
