So, almost certainly, the answer is no, you do not need both. But you need to make that final assessment, based on the terms and conditions of AppleCare+, and those offered by your carrier's insurance plan. You have got to assess whether the carrier's coverage is coextensive with AppleCare+, and, if so (or even if not), which one offers better terms (not just about repairs generally, but accidental damage, other kinds of loss, or theft, if applicable and replacement policies. It's kind of like trying to determine whether your home owner's policy covers you in a rental car, and whether any supplemental insurance from the car company is needed.
