  • Not all travel insurance policies do cover Financial Failure risks you need to check.

    Quality policies are now offering the protection as either Scheduled Airline Failure cover or End Supplier Failure cover.

    Travel Insurance Companies which do provide cover include:

    AA Travel Insurance
    Holiday Extras
    Direct Line
    Columbus Travel Insurance
    Opodo

    So check your policy....... :money:

    Alternatively there are tailored specialist policies on the market such as ProtectMyHoliday.com which is cheap, instant and has good security.
