Your booking payment is guaranteed with VZR Garant
Relax and enjoy thanks to VZR Garant
Booking a trip or travel package with an organisation signed up to the VZR Garant guarantee fund? Then there is no risk of you losing any advance payment made if the organisation goes bankrupt.
And even if the organisation becomes insolvent once you are already enjoying your trip, we will be there for you. We will make sure you can continue having a good time without any worries. Or, if there is no alternative, we will ensure you return home safely.
So, when booking a trip, always check whether the organiser has signed up to VZR Garant and whether the guarantee scheme has been correctly applied. You can then go on your travels with peace of mind and enjoy a worry-free holiday. Any guarantee is subject to certain conditions, and we like to be upfront about ours from the outset.

How our guarantee fund works
The organisation you book with ensures that your trip is covered by the VZR Garant guarantee fund. They do this by signing up to VZR Garant and by operating in accordance with the guarantee scheme. This gives you, the traveller, the protection you’re entitled to.
If the organisation is no longer financially able to meet its obligations towards you, any payments you’ve already made will be refunded to you or we’ll do everything we can to ensure that you can still enjoy your trip or that you can return home safely.

As a traveller, what should I look out for?
When making a booking, it is important that you carefully check whether the organisation is an VZR Garant member and operates in accordance with the guarantee scheme. How to check this:
1. The organisation is listed on the VZR Garant website as a member. If you are not sure whether an organisation is a VZR Garant member, please contact us before booking and paying.
2. The organisation’s standard terms and conditions state that it is a VZR Garant member.
3. The agreement you enter into with the organisation clearly states that the VZR Garant guarantee applies.
4. Check our guarantee scheme to see when you are entitled to the VZR Guarantee and what you are entitled to in that case.
