FAQ - Cancellation Insurance

Why take out cancellation insurance for your vacation in Corsica?

Cancellation can result in significant costs. In the event of late cancellation, you may be liable for the total cost of your accommodation or trip.

To deal with unforeseen circumstances, assistance and insurance cover are essential.

Not taking out insurance may seem economical... but it often turns out to be the opposite when an incident occurs!

And contrary to popular belief, credit cards do not always cover these situations: only certain “premium” cards offer coverage, and this is often limited or varies depending on the bank. Taking out dedicated insurance therefore allows you to benefit from comprehensive protection.

Corsica is a very popular destination, often booked well in advance. Taking out cancellation insurance allows you to:

Be reimbursed for the cost of your vacation rental in the event of cancellation
Deal with life's unexpected events without stress
Receive support before and during your stay
Get a quick refund in the event of cancellation

Whether you book directly on our website or through our Gîtes de France® Corse Booking Service, you can add cancellation insurance before confirming your stay.

When can you take out cancellation insurance?

Gîtes de France® Corse cancellation insurance can be taken out before booking your accommodation, whether it is:

A holiday cottage
A vacation home
A bed and breakfast
Luxury accommodation in Corsica

Once the insurance has been activated, you will benefit from cover tailored to the package you have chosen.

Until when can you cancel your stay in Corsica?

The cancellation conditions depend on the package chosen:

PREMIUM package: cancellation possible up to the day before departure, without reason
Classic package: cancellation possible according to the events covered by the contract

In both cases, the objective is the same: to avoid any unnecessary financial loss.
