PACKAGE OR DIY?

PACKAGE holidays provide much greater protection than a DIY break because they’re ATOL protected. This means if the FCO begins advising against travel to the country you’re due to visit, or the provider goes bust, you’ll get a full refund.

If you’d prefer to go on a DIY holiday: book flights with a credit card, call hotels to ensure you can cancel free of charge before booking, and book car hire with a company (such as Alamo or Enterprise) that will allow you to cancel free of charge.
