Do I need insurance for my Nintendo Switch?

"The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid console that can be docked or used as a portable device, allowing players to enjoy their favourite games at home and on the go. Because of this, it's easy to accidentally drop your Switch or for it to become damaged while you're moving it from one location to another. So, having insurance in place for your Nintendo Switch is an easy way to protect your console and cover the cost of repairs if things go wrong." – George , Customer Service Agent

How much does insurance on my Nintendo Switch cost?

When you take out Nintendo Switch insurance, the cost will depend on a range of factors, such as how old it is and how much you bought it for. Typically, you'll pay less for your cover if it's an older  . This is based on purchase price.

Another important factor that affects the price you pay is the level of cover you choose. While the price you pay will be part of the decision-making process, be sure to take a look at what each level offers so you can find the policy that matches your needs.

We also offer a couple of payment options, giving you the flexibility to choose a method that matches your requirements. Take your pick from a monthly rolling subscription or a one-time annual payment. Paying annually bags you better value over the course of the year, so you can get a great deal on having some peace of mind for 12 months.

Nintendo Switch insurance FAQs

There are some criteria that you need to be aware of to be able to insure your gadget:

  • We'll cover your gadget if you bought it new, or second-hand within the last three years.
  • You bought it from an authorised dealer (a UK-registered company)
  • You're aged 18 or over
  • You bought your gadget in the UK
  • Your Switch is in good working order 

We've worked hard to create a policy that covers your device when you need it. However, there are some situations that Nintendo Switch insurance doesn't cover:

  • You're not the owner of the gaming console
  • You haven't taken reasonable precautions to protect your gadget
  • You're unable to provide proof of purchase, exchange or usage
  • You bought your Nintendo Switch from a company that's not registered in the UK
  • You bought a refurbished or second-hand model without a supplier's 12-month warranty covering breakdowns

Make sure you review the terms and conditions in the policy wording and insurance certificate.

To make a claim, access our online claims portal, which is open 24/7. You can also track the status of your claim in the portal.

Alternatively, you can reach out to the Citymain claims team by calling 0333 999 7905 or emailing claims@citymain.com. The team is on hand to help from Monday to Saturday, 9am-5.30pm. 

It doesn't matter if you bought your Nintendo Switch or if it was a gift. As long as it was originally purchased from a UK-registered company, is under 36 months old and meets our other policy requirements, you can still take out a policy with us.

If you ever need to make a claim, we'll just need the original proof of purchase and a letter from the person who gave you the Switch.

As well as Nintendo Switch insurance, our gadget insurance covers a range of devices, including headphones, games consoles and digital cameras. We also offer cover for mobile phone brands, including iPhones, so all your tech is looked after.
