Booking holiday with Vanquis?

Hey guys just looking for a bit of advice. I'm about to book a trip for disneyland paris and I have the cash available in the bank. Do I book this on my vanquis or just with my debit card?
Had heard about additional fees for doing it with vanquis?
Any advice appreciated

    Booking with a Vanquis credit card offers a certain level of protection if any of the parties involved in providing your holiday go bust, so it might be worth doing. If you do book with the Vanquis card, make sure you use that money in the bank account to pay off the balance in full to avoid their high rates of interest

    It'll only offer protection against the failure of the company you're paying directly rather than multiple parties, the section 75 coverage excludes failure of, say, an airline if tickets are bought through a travel agent - see

    Additional fees are dependent on who you're booking with rather than the card provider as such, i.e. some companies will absorb the cost of paying with any CC, others will levy a fee of circa 1-3%.

    Thanks guys

    I'm booking direct with disney for the holiday and booking flights separate with air France.
    I have never booked a holiday in my adult life so have no idea how to book for the best lol!
