BookingCare is the ancillary insurance service that lets an Italian accommodation provider — hotel, B&B, campsite, holiday village, apartment — offer its guests booking protection. It is free for the property; the guest chooses whether to take it out, at 4.8% of the cost of the stay, within 48 hours of the booking confirmation.
Every time a guest sees a cancellation fee or a non-refundable rate, they wonder: "What if something happens?" BookingCare answers that question — whatever conditions you apply.
✓ Free for your property · No commitment · We'll call you back within 1 business day
The guest sees the fee and puts off booking
They call to ask for exceptions and waivers
They cancel last-minute — the property loses revenue
The guest knows they can protect themselves against the unexpected — cancellation fee or non-refundable rate
They confirm the booking with peace of mind, whatever your conditions
The property keeps its conditions and protects its revenue
Cancellation fee, deposit, non-refundable rate: whatever condition you use, the problem is always the same. The average cancellation rate in Italian hotels is 22.5% (source: SiteMinder).
They see the fee or the non-refundable rate and wonder "what if I have to cancel?" — and put it off
The property is forced to choose between protective conditions and secure bookings
Last-minute cancellations happen anyway — and keeping the cancellation fee turns into an argument
Disputes, chargebacks, negative reviews about "too strict" conditions
The guest knows they can protect themselves — cancellation fees and non-refundable rates are no longer scary
The property applies its conditions clearly and without feeling guilty
More early bookings, more direct confirmations, fewer late cancellations
The relationship with the guest is transparent from the very first message
BookingCare is not a policy to deal with when the guest cancels. It is a tool that helps your conditions get accepted from the start — when the guest is deciding whether to book.
Your cancellation conditions and fees stay the same. BookingCare does not change your commercial strategy — it strengthens it.
Offer protection as an option, not an obligation. The guest decides independently whether to take it, at their own expense.
No fixed costs, no commission, no subscription. Zero euros for your property. The service is paid for by the guest.
When guests know they can protect themselves, they book sooner and with more confidence. Less waiting, fewer "I'll think about it", more early confirmations.
Disputes over cancellation fees decrease because the guest made an informed choice. Clarity from the very first message, peace of mind when it comes to cancellations.
BookingCare cover is provided by an authorised insurance company and managed by ASSIGLOBAL S.r.l.

Activate once. It always works — on every booking, on every direct channel, for all your guests.
Fill in the activation form. No paperwork, no cost. We'll call you back within 1 business day to review your booking process together. If you use an integrated PMS, it's even easier.
Activate now →With the booking confirmation — by email or through your booking engine — the guest is offered protection against the unexpected. You decide how and when to offer it.
Frequently asked questions →If the guest chooses protection, they know they are covered against the unexpected. Your cancellation conditions remain intact. If they cancel, the claim is handled between the guest and the insurance company.
What the guest sees →The hardest moment for a property isn't the booking: it's the phone call in which the guest asks you not to keep the cancellation fee. BookingCare changes that call.
They submit a refund claim to the insurance company, with the documents about what happened. The property keeps the cancellation fee as per its conditions and has nothing to manage: no paperwork, no negotiation, no vouchers.
The conditions they accepted apply. Your staff need just one sentence, clear and fair:
That's the end of the discussion.
Fewer exceptions, fewer vouchers, fewer waived fees. Your staff apply the conditions with peace of mind, because the choice was the guest's.

Everything you want to know
The questions hoteliers ask us most often before activating BookingCare.
BookingCare is an ancillary insurance service that is completely free for your property. Once activated, you can offer your guests the option of protecting themselves against the unexpected. The guest freely chooses whether to do so, at their own expense. Your cancellation conditions stay the same.
Yes. BookingCare is completely free for accommodation providers. No fixed costs, no commission, no contractual commitment. The only cost is paid by the guest who chooses to take out protection.
No. Your booking conditions, fees and cancellation conditions stay exactly as you set them. BookingCare is added as an option for the guest: it neither replaces nor changes your commercial strategy. The difference you'll notice is that guests accept them more easily — because they know they can protect themselves.
Refunds to guests who chose protection are handled directly by ASSIGLOBAL S.r.l. together with the insurance company. Your property doesn't have to manage anything: the insurance relationship is between the guest and the insurance company. Your cancellation fee still applies as normal.
If the guest chose protection, they submit a refund claim to the insurance company with the documents about what happened; the property keeps the cancellation fee as per its conditions and has no paperwork to handle. If they didn't choose it, the conditions they accepted at booking apply: the property applies them, reminding the guest that they had the option to protect themselves. Either way, the property doesn't have to negotiate, grant vouchers or waive the cancellation fee.
Nothing changes: the property's booking conditions apply, exactly as before. The property has still offered the guest a real way to protect themselves, which makes it easier to enforce the cancellation fee if they cancel.
Yes. BookingCare doesn't change cancellation fees, deposits or non-refundable rates: it is added as an option for the guest, on any rate.
Yes. BookingCare can also be offered manually — by email with the booking confirmation or via a dedicated link. Integration with your PMS makes the process easier, but it is not required to activate the service. Contact us to find the best solution for your property.
With an integrated management system (HotelDoor, Scidoo, BBplanner, SimpleBooking, MrPreno, SmartPMS, Passepartout, 5stelle, KrossBooking, Beddy), adding the offer text usually takes less than an hour and is done together with the BookingCare team. Without integration, the offer is sent by email or via a dedicated link.
BookingCare is designed for direct bookings: website, booking engine, email, phone. On portal bookings the conditions are set by the portal; the property can still tell the guest about the protection with the booking confirmation, within 48 hours, if the booking includes cancellation fees or non-refundable amounts.
None. You fill in the form with details of the property and the contact person; the BookingCare team calls back within one business day for the review call and then sends the document with instructions for the property.
Yes, at any time, at no cost and without notice. There is no contractual commitment: the property decides whether and when to offer the protection.
BookingCare helps your booking conditions — cancellation fees and non-refundable rates — get accepted, by offering guests real protection against the unexpected. Free for your property, always.
