Frequently asked questions

Q
Are cosmetic damages covered?

We only cover damage if it stops the normal functioning of your gadget. Cracked screens are covered, but if your gadget has only suffered a scratch or dent, and still works as expected, then we will not repair or replace it.

Please see our terms and conditions  for more information. 

Q
How do I renew my gadget policy?
Tap to read answer
A

For monthly customers, to make sure you have continuous cover under your policy we will automatically renew your policy each month, unless you advise us otherwise and your monthly premium will be collected by the method chosen by you at the time of the initial purchase of this policy.

For annual customers, we will contact you up to 30 days before the annual renewal date of your policy and we will tell you then if there are any changes to your premium (which will only ever apply at your next renewal date). We will then renew your policy unless you advise us otherwise. If for any reason we are unable to automatically process your renewal we will still contact you approximately one month before your renewal date and invite you to renew your policy at www.protectyourbubble.com. Your renewal premium will be taken by the same method used during your initial purchase. If your payment details have changed, please follow the instructions on the renewal notification.

You can advise your policy administrator about any changes to your policy details by calling 0330 333 4792. Lines are open Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 9am to 6pm. If you do not want to auto renew your policy, you just need to contact Protect Your Bubble via the contact details provided in the renewal notice. If you do nothing, then this policy will automatically renew.
