Your money is secured in a trust account
Unlike many other travel companies we operate on a trust account model. Once we’ve paid the airline for your flights, the rest of your money is held in a trust account. We do not have access to this directly and can only withdraw funds when you are back home from holiday
We're ATOL protected
All of our holidays that include flights are protected by the ATOL scheme from the moment you book. So if one of our suppliers fails, you’ll get your money back. If you’re left stranded abroad, a flight home will be arranged at no extra cost. Our ATOL number is 11806
We're ABTA registered
As proud ABTA members we deliver the highest standards when it comes to our holidays. So if you book with us you’re guaranteed the best service. Our ABTA number is P8283, Y6720.

The currency of the USA is the US Dollar ($).

Notes (known as bills) come in $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100, while coins come in 1¢ (pennies), 5¢ (nickels), 10¢ (dimes), 25¢ (quarters), 50¢ (half dollars), and $1 (silver dollars). Pennies and silver dollars are no longer minted, but if you have any - don’t panic, they are still accepted.

You can expect virtually all shops, restaurants and hotels to accept card payments.

Left over US dollars

If you have left over US dollars, think twice before changing them back. US dollars are widely accepted in some Latin American, African and Asian countries.
