Your trip and your money are protected

Your payment protected by STO Garant

For the legally required travel guarantee, we use STO Garant, a guarantee scheme recognised by the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). When the guarantee applies to your booking, you pay into the escrow account of Stichting Derdengelden Certo Escrow, where your money stays until after your trip. If the travel organisation becomes insolvent, STO Garant carries out the guarantee.
