Holiday-makers get paid for four days of rain in a week
Aon France has launched a travel policy that will pay out if holiday-makers suffer at least four days of rain in any one week, Reuters reports.
It will use satellite photos obtained by the French weather bureau to calculate how much money the insurered should receive.
Rain-spoilt holidays can be worth up to €400 and holiday-makers would be informed by text message or email if they are liable for compensation. They would receive a cheque a few days after returning home.
The man behind the idea, Herv Kayser, told French daily Le Figaro that in a trial run last year, 10% of those interested in the insurance policy witnessed sufficient rain to receive money back on their holiday.
