What do I need to know about Monthly Care?

PEACE OF MIND, PAID MONTHLY

It's a hassle when a breakdown or accident causes your mobile phone, TV, washing machine, or other household product to stop working.

With Monthly Care, provided by the UK's leading specialist warranty provider Domestic & General, you can keep them protected so you won't have to worry about the unexpected costs that come with repairs.

We're proud to say - over 98% of our customers' Argos Monthly Care claims were accepted in 2020. You'll be covered for accidental damage and (for mobiles only) theft with force or break-in.

After your manufacturer's guarantee has ended, you'll be covered for breakdowns and faults. If we can't repair it, we'll replace it with a brand new one, or we'll give you the equivalent value in Argos vouchers, so you can pick out your own.

With Argos Monthly Care, there's no excess to pay, unless you claim for a mobile phone that's over £100 (check your policy to see the exact excess amount). Your household contents insurance policy might offer cover for accidental damage. However, you may find that an excess is payable and a claim may affect the cost of your subsequent insurance premiums.
