ATOL renewal fees

• If you submit a Small Franchise ATOL renewal application on 1 August 2026 or earlier the renewal application fee would be £630.
• If you submit a Small Franchise ATOL renewal application after 1 August 2026 but by 31 August 2026 the renewal application fee would be £750.
• If you submit a Small Franchise ATOL renewal application on or after 1 September 2026 the renewal fee payable would be £869.

To qualify for the relevant fee reduction, you would have to submit your online renewal application, including any mandatory document uploads required (can include cv, utility bill and certified copy of passport for any new directors/shareholders), by the relevant date as detailed above and this includes receipt of the relevant application fee. 

Entering into arrangements to pay fees by direct debit means that the relevant application fee due will be collected by direct debit after application submission has been made but payment will be viewed as having been made as at the date the renewal application was submitted. If the fee is subsequently not successfully collected by direct debit then higher changes may be payable.
