Many people are aware of the Package Travel Regulations. They were, introduced to try and give consumers more protection when they have problems with their package holiday. They give financial protection in the event that a holiday company goes into liquidation and they also give more regulatory protection in respect of problems such as an accident or illness you have whilst on a package holiday.

Not all holidays are covered by these regulations, but as a rule of thumb, if you book two of the following:

a) Transport;
b) Hotel / Accommodation;
c) Other tourist services (which would include car hire etc)

from the same company you are likely to be on a package holiday.

Many holiday companies try to avoid these regulations by selling different components of a holiday separately. If they are successful, you won’t have as much protection if they go out of business or you suffer illness or an accident on holiday. You may also need to pursue your holiday claim abroad. Call us today, or fill in the enquiry form to get further details.

If you were on a package holiday, you can bring a compensation claim against your Tour Operator in the UK courts even if the accident happened abroad. You will also be awarded damages at the level awarded by the UK courts; this is usually higher than in other countries.
