Holiday Financial Failure
Booking flights, hotels, parking or transfers independently? Don't be left out of pocket.
Holidaymakers who book a package holiday through a travel agent or tour operator should have their holiday protected under the Air Travel Operators Licence (ATOL) scheme. But this protection doesn't apply to the increasing number of travellers who prefer to book their holiday components separately such as flight, hotel, car hire and even theme park tickets - all of which are easy to arrange online.
Uncertainty in the market is leading many travellers to build their own holiday arrangements and they may have little or no protection in the event of a company failure. They will now automatically enjoy that extra protection when they buy a Gold policy from Covered2go Travel Insurance.
Few travel insurers offer this type of cover as standard, so the news that anyone who purchases a Gold policy from Covered2go Travel Insurance will now have their separate travel components covered in the event of financial failure, will be very reassuring. Whilst the economic market may be turning for the better, its still very uncertain out there and weighs heavy on all our minds, as such it's nice to know that, in terms of a holiday, we can leave any problems concerning financial security well and truly at home.
If you already have your travel insurance in place and you would like to purchase independent financial failure protection to provide you with that additional peace of mind, then please click here and let Covered2go's financial failure partner ProtectMyHoliday look after all your needs.
