The partnership gives Casago franchise partners access to Roam’s revenue protection platform, enabling them to offer more competitive cancellation policies with confidence.

Operators will be able to use Roam to offer greater flexibility without exposing homeowners to financial risk. If a guest books a stay and later cancels, any nights that do not fully rebook are automatically covered, with no added friction for guests.

By integrating this protection directly into the booking experience, Roam enables Casago’s local teams to improve conversion, strengthen search visibility, and extend booking windows, while maintaining consistent performance for homeowners. Due to Casago's size and scale, Roam and Casago partnered to create never-before-seen products and pricing for its franchisees.

Steve Schwab, Founder and CEO of Casago said: “Today’s traveler expects flexibility, but our homeowners expect consistency and performance. Roam allows us to deliver both. By embedding revenue protection directly into the booking experience, we can offer a more competitive product in the marketplace while safeguarding owner income. That balance is critical as we continue to grow our franchise markets.”

Sasha Lawler, Founder and CEO of Roam said: “Flexibility has become the primary driver of booking decisions, but until now, it has come with real tradeoffs for operators and homeowners. Roam changes that. After decades working in the vacation rental industry alongside property managers, we’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique and often complex challenges they face: staying competitive, driving profitability, and protecting owner income at the same time. Roam turns flexibility into an asset management strategy that makes all three possible.”

Purpose-built for the vacation rental industry, Roam enables operators to treat flexibility as a growth lever rather than a financial risk. The partnership provides Casago’s franchise network with a scalable, turnkey solution to modernize their offering, helping local operators stay competitive while delivering consistent returns for homeowners. Early adoption of more flexible policies across the industry has been linked to improved OTA placement, longer booking windows, and increased guest confidence at the point of purchase.

Roam allows property managers to compete more effectively in a performance-driven booking environment, by integrating protection into the reservation process.
