The online insurance
for holiday rentals!

There are several ways to take out Assur-Lodge insurance:

• the guest personally takes out the policy on the assure-lodge.com site and pays the premium directly,
• the owner (in the case of direct owner – guest rental) can take out the insurance policy on the guest’s behalf. The latter then receives subscription confirmation, his file number and a password by mail. The owner then adds the cost of the insurance premium to the cost of rental of his property,
• the estate agency may propose that its clients should take out the Assur-Lodge insurance policy, by creating a client account in the “Insure a rental” section of the assur-lodge.com site. It then fills in a subscription form to Assur-Lodge insurance, on the guest’s behalf, and will then charge the premium to the rental invoice.

In all events, the guest bears the cost of the insurance.

Assur-Lodge insurance is highly recommended because, unfortunately, nobody is immune to:

• having to cancel or curtail their holidays at the last minute,
• discovering a house, villa, chalet, etc. that does not match the description of the rented property,
• discovering that the rented property does not exist!
• breaking a table, a door, a window … during their stay at the rental accommodation.

Assur-Lodge insurance covers most cases of cancellation, which are not caused by you. In plain language, everything is insured except a change of mind!

You propose an additional, first-rate service to your guests and, in doing so, you enhance your image, because, as you know, nobody is immune to:

• discovering a house, villa, chalet, etc. that does not match the description of the rented property,
• discovering that the rented property does not exist!
• breaking a table, a door, a window … during their stay at the rental accommodation.

Yes, with Assur-Lodge insurance, the guest is covered in case of breakage or broken glass. The total amount of damage is consequently refunded to the owner.

Yes, it is highly recommended to take out supplementary insurance because the cover proposed by bank cards is very limited and you have to have paid your rental with your card to be able to benefit from it.

Some bank cards cover cancellation of stays in the event of death or serious illness only.
Furthermore, processing conditions and times vary greatly and are often long.
Lastly, the amount of cover is not so high as with a private insurance:

• For medical expenses abroad: € 11,000 only for Visa blue cards.
• For cancellation: only gold cards contain a slight cancellation insurance.
• etc.

It is highly recommended to carefully consult the contract conditions of bank cards.

Insurance should be taken out at the same time as the rental OR within 5 days after booking. In all events, 30 days at the latest before the rental start date.

You must reside in Europe (Country of the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Principality of Monaco, or overseas department [DOM]).
The duration of your rental may not exceed 3 months running.
The maximum amount of the rental shall not exceed € 15,000.
The policy covers the subscribed benefits throughout the whole world.

Our insurance covers fellow guests at the stay up to a number of 9 persons. One subscription is therefore enough for the entire rental. In fact, if one of participants should cancel, and if the others no longer wish to leave for that reason, the rental would then be refunded in full.

The main benefits of the Assur-Lodge policy are:

• cancellation insurance: in the event of cancellation by the guest or by the owner, we refund the amounts that the guest has paid (to the rental agency or to the owners) to said guest.
• interruption of stay insurance, if the guest is forced to leave early, we refund to him the overnight stays not used on a pro rata temporis basis.
• Civil liability and third-party claims: if the guest incurs material damage and/or bodily injury during the rental period, we bear the cost of the resulting expenses.
• damage to property, broken glass, other damage: there again, we cover the costs caused by such damage. We refund the value of his damaged possessions to the guest. And we refund the total amount of damage to the owner.
• nonconformity or fraudulent rental insurance: the guest is covered in the event of an “unpleasant surprise” on arrival if the rented property does not match its description, or if it does not exist! In both cases, we compensate the guest for the sums incurred and, in addition, we offer a night in a hotel per person.

An excess is the amount that remains to be paid by you in the event of cancellation. The excess is a fixed amount or a percentage, which appears on the general insurance conditions.

When you notify the claim online on assure-lodge.com, you must send the invoice and/or the booking form indicating the insurance subscription date and the amounts paid.

When a rental is cancelled, all or a part of the price of the cancelled services, called cancellation fees, continues to be borne by the subscriber. Those fees are calculated according to a scale indicated in the general conditions of sale of the owner of the rented property. The closer the date of departure, the higher the amount.

In the case of cancellation because of illness, you need to have the doctor fill in a medical questionnaire. The medical certificate only contra-indicates departure.
Whereas the medical questionnaire sets out the pathology in detail and so makes it possible to ask for the medical evidence that substantiates the pathology.
