Argos Care.



When breakdowns and accidents happen, it can be an expensive hassle to get a repair or replacement. With Argos Care insurance, you can have peace of mind if the unexpected happens.

We're sorry to say we will be closing our Argos stores and online operations in the Republic of Ireland by 24 June 2023. You can still use our Click and Collect service on argos.ie until our stores have closed and our home delivery service will still be taking orders until Wednesday 22 March.

In addition, Argos Care products will no longer be available to purchase after 19 January 2023.

Yes, the process for claiming on monthly care will continue as normal, simply call one of our friendly agents on 1800 911 721. Please have your policy number and postcode to hand. There will be no change to this process once we close our stores.

Your Argos Monthly Care Policy will continue and will not be affected by this announcement; however, you are free to cancel your policy at any time. You can cancel your policy by using the cancellation form on this website: www.domesticandgeneral.com or by contacting Domestic and General on 1800 911 721.

You can continue to make a claim in store until the 24 June 2023. Please return to the store with your product, and the receipts for both your policy and your product.

After the 24 June 2023 you will not be able to claim in store. We are finalising a process for you to claim without the need to visit a store and will be updating this website with details of that process well before stores close.

We know that sometimes life just happens... protect your new stuff with one of our Argos Care policies. Each policy includes that all-important accidental damage cover from the moment you buy it, and offers extra protection in addition to your standard manufacturer's guarantee. Already have household contents insurance? Your existing policy might offer cover for accidental damage, fire or theft. However, you may find that an excess is payable and a claim may affect the cost of your subsequent insurance premiums. With Argos Care, the only excess you'll pay is when you claim for a mobile phone costing over €100. So let us tell you more about Argos Care...

Accidental damage.

Accidental damage
