Airbnb has launched a voluntary weather insurance service in partnership with insurer Chubb, aimed at providing financial compensation to travelers affected by heavy rain. The service, available to residents of ten European countries, offers daily payouts ranging from 50 to 1,000 euros based on specific contract terms and regional requirements.

To trigger a payout, locations must record at least 1.5 mm of rain per hour between 8:00 and 20:00 local time for a minimum duration defined by the policy. The system utilizes automated meteorological data from organizations such as NASA, NOAA, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Because payouts are triggered by independent data, travelers do not need to file manual claims or provide photographic evidence.
