Can I insure a refurbished Apple product?

Yes, you can insure a refurbished Apple product. Your options depend on where you purchase the device. AppleCare+ is available exclusively for products bought from the Apple Refurbished Store, while third-party insurance plans can cover devices purchased from any refurbisher.

AppleCare+ for Apple-refurbished products

If you buy a refurbished product directly from the Apple Refurbished Store, you can add an AppleCare+ protection plan at the time of purchase. AppleCare+ extends your warranty coverage and adds accidental damage protection. For a deeper look at whether it is worth the cost, read our guide on AppleCare for refurbished products.

Third-party insurance

For refurbished devices purchased from any seller, third-party insurance providers offer coverage for accidental damage, theft, and mechanical breakdowns. Popular options include providers like Asurion, SquareTrade, and Upsie (in the US), or Likewize and insuremygadget (in the UK). Many of these plans do not require the device to be new.

What about the standard warranty?

Every refurbished product listed on RefurbMe comes with at least a 30-day warranty from the seller. Most refurbishers offer a 1-year warranty. You can compare warranty policies across sellers to find one that gives you the coverage you need.
