Airbnb propose désormais à une partie de ses utilisateurs européens de bénéficier d’une Garantie intempéries.
This optional insurance product allows compensation to travelers when “the precipitation reaches or exceeds a certain daily threshold during their stay“, explains the platform in a press release.
Beneficiaries do not have to “document the situation“, nor to “submit a traditional compensation request“, because “the program automatically tracks precipitation levels and triggers a payout as soon as the coverage threshold is reached“, continues Airbnb.
This guarantee is underwritten by insurer Chubb and is accessible to eligible travelers residing in Germany, Austria, Denmark, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden, for their domestic and international trips.

A payout between €50 and €1,000
Concrètement, une fois le séjour commencé, le niveau de pluie à l’emplacement du logement est mesuré en temps réel à l’aide de données indépendantes issues de radars, de satellites et de rapports météorologiques.
If the daily coverage threshold is reached, the traveler automatically receives a payment ranging from €50 to €1,000.
“With Airbnb, we wanted to design a Weather Guarantee that simply works in the background. Zero forms, no calls and no waiting to know whether your stay is covered. If it rains enough to activate your coverage, you automatically receive a notification and a payout“, said Rubén Rivero, head of travel insurance for the EMEA region at Chubb.
