Why Book a Package Rather Than DIY?

Cheaper or better? What matters to you? Often we hear that people prefer to book their holidays online rather than use an agent or travel consultant as “booking online and booking it all separately is cheaper...” But it’s never a like for like comparison.

For your holiday to be a protected package, you have to buy multiple elements together. Sometimes that works out cheaper and sometimes a bit more expensive because trade deals are different to online public offers.

However, booking a fully-protected holiday package means that your trip is treated as a whole - everything within the package is protected.

By booking everything separately, and say your flights get cancelled, you may be liable for the cost of all the other elements of your holiday. This could be hotels, car hire, attraction tickets, a cruise, train tickets etc. You must be careful to check every cancellation and amendment term for every element.

Imagine there is a global or local disaster and your trip is affected. You have to deal with all of those different companies yourself. You need to negotiate a re-booking or a refund for all the different elements. Or rely on travel insurance if indeed you’re covered for the circumstances.

A protected package is the safest way to book a holiday. If your holiday cannot go ahead you will be offered the opportunity to rebook or have a refund of your money. If the supplier goes into administration your money is protected by ATOL or ABTA.

In all circumstances, we deal with the negotiations and paperwork. We will let you know what your options are and take care of it all. Without any cost to you as we get paid by the operators when you actually travel. This exceptional service is free to you and part of your holiday cost; we do all this work before receiving any payment.
