Flight-inclusive Packages created on Expedia.co.uk are financially protected by the ATOL scheme (under Expedia, Inc.'s ATOL number 5788). ATOL protection does not apply to all travel services listed on this website but you may still be financially protected when booking certain travel services listed on this website that are outside the scope of the ATOL scheme. Please ask us to confirm what financial protection may apply to your booking. This website and our general terms and conditions will provide you with information on the protection that applies in the case of each travel service offered before you make your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected.

For Packages that do not include a flight or Linked Travel Arrangements created on Expedia.co.uk, all monies paid over in the case of non-flight-inclusive Packages, or any monies paid directly to us in the case of Linked Travel Arrangements, are fully protected by insurance in the event of our insolvency. This insurance protection has been arranged by International Passenger Protection Limited and underwritten by Liberty Mutual Insurance Europe SE. Please see our general terms and conditions for more information about financial protection, or for more information on the ATOL Certificate go to: www.caa.co.uk.
