Information for Consumers

ATOL is a scheme that protects you from losing money or becoming stranded abroad if your travel company collapses.

ATOL Certificate

When you book a protected holiday, you should receive an ATOL certificate as soon as you have paid any money. The certificate explains your protection and what to do if your travel company collapses.

What to do if your travel company collapses

If your travel company collapses while you are on holiday then we will make sure you can finish your trip and return home. If your holiday is booked but you have not yet left, you will usually receive a refund.

Check you are ATOL Protected

Look for the ATOL logo and ATOL numbers on travel company websites and in adverts and brochures.
