Sensible Weather, provider of weather protection for travel and outdoor experiences, announced its partnership with digital insurance platform Roamly to offer weather guarantees to travelers booking their next trip on RV rental platform Outdoorsy.
“Roamly Weather by Sensible” gives travelers booking RVs on Outdoorsy peace of mind by issuing proactive reimbursements when their experiences are affected by undesirable weather, the company said. Just in time for unpredictable spring and summer weather, this partnership with Roamly, Outdoorsy’s embedded insurtech provider, will allow guests to protect their experience and purchase by adding a weather guarantee to their RV reservation.
Roamly underpins the Outdoorsy rental marketplace and is designed to embed into other online marketplaces, enhancing guest and host experiences. By launching “Roamly Weather by Sensible,” Roamly can offer travelers a weather protection product that is complementary to its suite of insurance products. With “Roamly Weather by Sensible,” payouts are initiated automatically via text message based on preset parameters for rain or heat. “Roamly Weather By Sensible” will refund Outdoorsy customers who add a weather guarantee to their reservation up to 100% of their daily rate in real-time, based on the daily forecast.
“With RV rentals continuing to surge as Outdoorsy sees record bookings and 76% new users, we recognize the growing desire for outdoor adventure and want to encourage those looking to get out there to enjoy stress-free adventures,” said Nick Cavanaugh, Ph.D., Sensible Weather CEO and founder. “To offer our weather guarantee through Roamly is our way of helping to make the unpredictable more predictable and provide Outdoorsy travelers with peace of mind.”
