Outdoorsy, the RV dealer financer and online rental platform, launched two new features designed for guests booking their next road trip – Roamly’s Travel Insurance coverage and PayPal Pay In 4 offering.
On April 1, Outdoorsy reported a 13% year-over-year growth in bookings for summer departures. The company said the results are an indicator market conditions will have minimal impact on RV rentals.
To help travelers experience the affordability of booking an RV rental on Outdoorsy, guests will have the option to reserve their rental and pay for it over time using Pay in 4 from PayPal. Pay in 4 from PayPal is currently available at checkout and lets guests break trip costs up to $1,500 into four interest-free payments. The first payment is due at purchase and remaining payments are due every two weeks.
Pay in 4 is available in certain states to consumers upon approval for purchases of $30-$1,500.
“Ahead of a busy summer travel season, we want to give our community as many resourceful payment options and protections as possible, so finances are not what is holding them back from getting outside,” Outdoorsy co-founder and CEO Jeff Cavins said. “We are proud to be partnering with PayPal to introduce their Pay in 4 offering and we look forward to making these road trip experiences more attainable for travelers, as the service gives them the freedom to travel now and pay over time.”
In addition to the launch of Pay in 4 from PayPal, Outdoorsy is also introducing Roamly’s Travel Insurance. Roamly is owned by Outdoorsy.
Through a partnership with Roamly and International Medical Group (IMG), Outdoorsy can protect and reimburse travelers needing to cancel a trip due to unpredictable circumstances. The new Travel Insurance product will cover policyholders canceling a trip if they become sick or are hospitalized before the trip start date, as well as those needing reimbursement for an interrupted trip due to illness or hospitalization. COVID-19 and COVID-19 variants are treated as any other sickness on the Travel Insurance plans.
