Campers, an online marketplace for RV resorts, family campgrounds, cabins and glamping options, has struck a new strategic partnership with climate risk technology company Sensible Weather.
Through the agreement, Campspot users can rest assured that rain won’t ruin their adventure thanks to Sensible’s Weather Guarantees, which reimburse travelers in the case of inclement weather.
Campspot campers will be able to add a Weather Guarantee to their bookings at 200,000+ campsites through the Campspot marketplace. As part of the site’s guest booking experience, Weather Guarantees are now offered as an add-on to protect campers’ purchases.
Sensible Weather quantifies and manages weather risk for campers, using satellite imagery and climate analytics developed from over a decade’s worth of research in industry and academia. Sensible Weather’s payouts are managed based on pre-set parameters, which means no haggling or claims processes. Sensible Weather pays travelers up to 100% of their nightly rate in real-time, based on the day-of forecast, via a text notification typically before the predicted weather event occurs.
“We want to empower everyone to enjoy stress-free adventures, and partnering with Campspot to offer our Weather Guarantees at campsites across the U.S. is our way of helping to make the unpredictable more predictable and give campers peace of mind,” said Nick Cavanaugh, Ph.D., Sensible Weather CEO and founder.
Added Campspot CEO Michael Scheinman: “Being outdoors and appreciating nature is a fundamental part of any camping trip, so we’re thrilled to be able to offer our campers a way to ensure they can enjoy their experience with Campspot – or to be reimbursed quickly and easily by Sensible’s Weather Guarantees even if they can’t.”
