Are you piecing together your holiday bit by bit? Flights here, accommodation there, transfers and activities booked separately? It might seem like a savvy way to save, but hold on a moment. Before you hit that 'confirm' button, consider the perils you could be inviting into your getaway.
It's Time to Stop!
If you're not booking through a travel agent or a website offering ATOL protection, you're exposing yourself to a trio of risks that could turn your dream holiday into a nightmare.
Firstly, consider the chaos that ensues when unforeseen circumstances, like the Icelandic volcano eruption, disrupt travel plans. Your airline might get you home eventually, but who foots the bill for alternative arrangements until then? Without ATOL protection, that burden falls squarely on your shoulders.
Then there's the nightmare scenario of a travel provider going bust. Remember Thomas Cook and Monarch Airlines? For those without ATOL cover, they were more than just names in headlines; they were tales of stranded holidaymakers left to fend for themselves.
And let's not forget the headache of "consequential loss." Booked a hotel or rental car separately? If your flight gets axed or delayed, you're still on the hook for those expenses unless you can work out a refund or reschedule – not exactly stress-free holiday vibes.
Don't wait for disaster to strike before appreciating the importance of ATOL protection. Make sure your holiday is safeguarded against the unexpected.
