What’s our Weather Guarantee?

Nothing puts a damper on a day at the beach quite like a rubbish weather forecast. And while we hope there’ll be no need to rain-check any of your holiday plans (we have our fingers crossed for blue skies all the way) we’d hate for bad weather to get in the way of you having a great time.  

 That’s why we’ve teamed up with Sensible Weather – a climate tech company who are as obsessed with the forecast as we are – to offer a Weather Guarantee. Add it to your trip and you can claim money back if the weather doesn’t work out while you’re there.  

How does it work? 

1. Book your First Choice trip as normal

Once you’ve got your booking details – that’s the hotel name, departure dates and holiday cost – head to the First Choice x Sensible Weather website.

2. Add a Weather Guarantee  

Fill out your booking details to see what your Weather Guarantee can cover. Your guarantee will be tailored to your trip’s location. 

3. Get money back if you’re affected – sorted

Unlucky with the weather? You’ll be reimbursed and notified instantly. No need to tell us – Sensible Weather use their tech to track the forecast, so we’ll know if the rain’s coming down.

4. Sit back and relax

Enjoy your break, whatever the weather. A Weather Guarantee covers each day of your trip, so you can be reimbursed for one or more rainy days and still enjoy the others.

5. How will I be reimbursed?

To keep things secure and speedy, your payout will be sent via PayPal – it means there’s no need to share any bank details. No PayPal account? No worries. You’ll get an email about your payment, so just follow the link and you can get set up easily.  

6. How do I make a claim?

You don’t. Sensible Weather will automatically contact you by text and email in the morning if there’s an issue with the weather, based on the forecast. So there’s absolutely no effort involved from you. 

7. What will my cover cost?

To see what sort of price you’re looking at, as well as how much money you could get back, fill out your trip booking details on the First Choice x Sensible Weather page and we’ll do the rest. Happy? Add it to your trip and away you go.
