Financial Protection

Your Money Is Safe

All bookings made through the ‘SpainAway’ division of The Away Company, receive the full financial protection provided by The Away Company Ltd.

This takes the form of a financial bonding arrangement made with The Travel Trust Association, in which all monies paid over are securely held in a trustee bank account until the holiday has been taken.

In this way, not only is the holidaymakers' money itself protected, but the guarantee also exists that the travel supplier – villa owner, flight or car hire operator – will be paid, ensuring the security of the actual holiday as well.

Such security is not that difficult to put in place, and we are constantly surprised that holidaymakers who would never book a flight unless this was ATOL protected, or book a package holiday unless the travel agent was ABTA bonded, will happily hand over large sums of money to a private villa owner, quite possibly located abroad, who can offer no financial guarantees of any kind.
