Travel Insurance

First things first, make sure you take out travel insurance! Even if you think you may not need it, it’s not worth the risk! This will protect you financially if any unexpected emergencies occur while you’re away. Make sure you double check what exactly your policy covers you for, it may be worth paying a little more to get the fullest coverage available, that way if you end up cancelling your holiday or cutting it short due to a medical emergency, you are covered financially.

Make Sure You Are ATOL or ABTA Protected

These schemes offer you the most financial protection and also makes it easier to complain if things go wrong. This will protect you if your travel company go out of business and you’ll also receive extra legal protection. The easiest way to ensure you get the protection you want is to ask your travel company if, and how, your travel arrangements are protected.

Pay For It By Credit Card

Consider Buying A Packaged Holiday

If you buy a holiday which includes travel, accommodation or travel and car hire, it comes with significant legal and financial protection. This makes packaged holidays the safer option! 

Always Be Wary If You’re Booking Online

Be careful when booking your holiday based on images online! You never know how recent the images are or even if they are of the correct hotel! Be sure to read plenty of honest reviews before you book from previous holidaymakers to get a more accurate idea of what you’re letting yourself in for.
