About Cancel Cover

The product

Cancel Cover is designed to allow holiday let property owners to offer a 95% refund to guests wishing to cancel their booking between 60 and 2 days from the start of their holiday.

Protection for Holiday Let Property Owners

The policy protects the holiday property owner and covers cancellations for any reason other than war, terrorism, pandemic or epidemic (inc. Coronavirus).

Key conditions

The ability to offer flexible cancellation terms allows Holiday property owners:

The Benefits
  • To compete with and operate within On-Line Travel Agent (OTA) sites
  • Encourage more guests to book
  • To protect the bottom line

Flexible cover and price

The premium is a percentage of the total booking value, typically between 3% and 5% and the property owner can choose to recover 100%, 90% or 80% of the refund that they give (the premium reduces as the excess increases)

Example pricing: each £10,000 of insured bookings would cost between £300 and £500 to insure

Master Policy

The insurance is administered as a master policy issued to the property owner/manager

  • Once a master policy is set up the Property Owners must insure all booked weeks for all properties
  • The level of excess is selected at the inception of the master policy and cannot be changed until the renewal date (all Cancel Cover master policies renew on 1st September each year
  • You may stop using the Cancel Cover scheme at any time but you cannot  re-join the scheme until the next renewal date (1 September)
