Help if your travel has been disrupted
We understand that your travel plans may have changed recently. To give you the right help, we need to ask you a few questions.
Before you begin...
Payment issues are often resolved faster by contacting the travel provider directly. We always recommend doing this first.
First, we recommend you check the website or any correspondence from the travel provider, or their administrator to understand how to get a refund. If you’ve already done this, we might be able to help you.
You can also find out more by reading our FAQ's.
Unfortunately we won’t be able to help you with your payment issue until the trip has been cancelled. Please get in touch with your travel provider to discuss this with them directly.
If you have a bank account with insurance benefits, or other travel insurance policies, you might be able to make a claim.
