How can check whether I’m covered if I book through a travel agent?
You should ask your travel agent to confirm that the whole holiday you’re booking with them is ATOL protected, and that you will receive a full refund or be brought home if the holiday company fails. If you are told that everything is ATOL protected, make sure you receive an ATOL receipt that confirms all your holiday arrangements, the total cost, the name of the ATOL holder and their ATOL number. You should also receive the ATOL holder’s confirmation invoice soon afterwards. These documents will ensure you are protected if your holiday company fails. You should keep them safe and take them on holiday with you in case you need to claim.
