Apple's standard Mac warranty includes one year of hardware coverage but 
does not cover accidental damage. So, if you drop your Mac and the 
screen cracks, you're on your own. Same if things go sideways after you 
drop it in the pool. With AppleCare+, you get three years of hardware 
coverage that includes "two incidents of accidental damage coverage." 
You'll still pay for Apple to fix such damage but less than if you 
didn't have Apple's insurance: a $99 service fee for screen damage or 
external enclosure damage or a $299 fee for other damage.
...

AppleCare+ also provides three years of telephone support; you get only 
90 days of phone support with the standard Mac warranty.
...

Here are the prices for AppleCare+ for Macs:

     Mac Mini: $99
     iMac: $169
     Mac Pro: $249
     MacBook/MacBook Air: $249
     13-inch MacBook Pro: $269
     15-inch MacBook Pro: $379
