Responsible Travel’s Financial Guarantee
We connect you directly with them as they know the vacations best. When you are happy and ready to book, you do so directly with our partners and so your contract is with them. Please make sure you fully understand what they offer and their terms and conditions, as well as ours.
All our partners based in the UK and the EU should have protection in place to refund you if they are not able to offer you the vacation you booked. You should always check their terms and conditions before you book as, for example, some UK bonding cover organisations such as ABTA or ABTOT may only cover you if you are based in the UK. Some of our partners will check that you have your own insurance in place. Many of our partners based outside these areas also offer good financial protection and you should certainly speak to them about this.
Wherever our partners are based we strongly urge you to:
In the very unlikely event that the partner you book with goes out of business and cannot deliver your vacation we will help you to navigate the options for a refund should you need assistance.
- Pay by credit card. In some countries, including the UK, this offers legal protection should the vacation not go ahead. It may also enable you to ask for a Chargeback, carried out by your credit card company against the operator's bank.
- Pay by Paypal. If you can't pay by credit card pay by Paypal, which offers some protection.
- Buy the best travel insurance you can afford and especially one of the limited number of policies that include supplier failure.
