Rental rescheduling insurance to change holidays dates

What is the Rental Rescheduling Insurance?

The rental rescheduling insurance is designed to protect you from unexpected emergencies that might force you to cancel your Summer In Italy booking. If your booking is insured, you will be able to change the dates of your booking without incurring any penalty. This is a no-question-asked insurance: you do not need to give a reason for your claim, you just let us know.

How does the Rental Rescheduling Insurance work?

If, for any reason, you decide to cancel your booking we will issue a credit voucher for the amount that you have actually paid for the covered booking less the cost of the insurance. You will be able to use the credit voucher towards a new booking for the same property. If the property is no longer advertised for rental, you will be able to use your credit voucher towards a new booking for any Summer In Italy property. The credit voucher is valid from the date it is issued, and it can be used for a new booking to be consumed within three years from the start date of your original booking. Thus the earlier you request your voucher, the longer your voucher is valid.

How much does the insurance cost?

The cost of the insurance is 9% of the rental cost. This is not refundable.

How do I purchase the insurance?

The insurance can only be purchased within a week of the booking date (the date on which the reservation is made). Please contact our staff to purchase the insurance. The coverage begins when the payment is received. Summer In Italy reserves the right to reject applications.

How do I submit a claim?

Your claim must be submitted in writing at least 8 days prior to the contracted start date and time (4 pm GMT+1, less of any special arrangements). Email is acceptable. Please do not rely on email only if you are canceling at the very last moment; rather, give us a phone call and then send a confirmation email to avoid any misunderstanding.

What is not covered?

For the insurance to cover your cancellation it is mandatory that your claim is received at least 8 days prior to the contracted start date and time (4 pm GMT+1, less of any special arrangements). Thus the following are not covered: cancellation received within 8 days of the start date and time; late arrivals, no-shows, missed days of rental, partial stays, early departures, partial postponements. These are all subject to the standard rental terms. The insurance does not cover any other aspect of your trip such as transportation, baggage, or anything other than the cancellation of the Summer In Italy booking for which the insurance is purchased as detailed above.

How can I use my credit voucher?

Your credit can only be applied towards a new booking for the same property, unless the property is no longer advertised for rental. The voucher is not redeemable for cash in whole or in part. The credit voucher can't be used to obtain discounted last minute rates, and can only be used towards bookings at the regular rate for the season. The new booking must be consumed within three years from the start date of the covered booking. The new booking is not covered by the insurance, but a new insurance can be purchased at the time of rebooking. If the rental cost of the new booking is less than the credit you hold, we will issue a new credit voucher having the same expiration date of the original voucher for the unused amount. Any amount which has not been used towards a booking to be consumed within three years from the start date of the original booking is forfeited. Subject to the same conditions, you can transfer your credit voucher to a different person at no charge.
