Flexible Rate Options

One Property. Two Rates. More Ways to Compete.

Offer guests a lower-priced standard rate or a flexible, refundable rate on your direct booking website. Monetize flexibility while Roam protects eligible booking income when guests cancel.

Why rate choice

Compete on Price. Win on Flexibility.

Managers no longer have to choose between restrictive cancellation policies that cost bookings and flexible policies that leave owners with unnecessary cancellation exposure. Keep a sharp standard rate, offer a refundable rate alongside it, and let Roam protect eligible income behind flexible reservations.

  1. 01

    Hotel-style rate choice

    Give guests the refundable or non-refundable choice they already know from hotels, right on your direct booking website.

  2. 02

    Competitive standard pricing

    Lead with a lower standard rate for price-conscious guests, without loosening the policy behind it.

  3. 03

    Monetize flexibility

    Price the flexible rate higher, so flexibility becomes something guests choose to pay for rather than a concession you absorb.

  4. 04

    A stronger direct booking experience

    Offer a clear, confident choice at the moment guests book directly with you.

  5. 05

    Protection behind flexible reservations

    When a flexible reservation cancels and covered nights go unbooked, Roam reimburses eligible income shortfalls, subject to policy terms.

How it works

Four steps, mostly behind the scenes.

Book a Demo
  1. Step 01

    Guest chooses a rate

    The guest selects a standard or flexible booking rate on your direct booking website.

  2. Step 02

    Roam protects eligible flexible reservations

    Eligible flexible reservations are protected according to your program, behind the scenes.

  3. Step 03

    Guest cancels, you refund

    You refund according to the selected policy and make eligible nights available for rebooking.

  4. Step 04

    Roam reimburses covered shortfalls

    Roam calculates and reimburses covered income shortfalls after accounting for rebookings and other policy terms.

The insured is the property manager, not the guest. The flexible rate is a cancellation choice offered by the property manager, not a travel insurance purchase. Only eligible cancellations and covered booking income shortfalls are reimbursed, subject to the terms of the insurance policy.
