Over 700 Travel clients choose t&g’ s financial protection products – bonding and Financial Failure Insurance every year.

    Our key strength is the knowledge that there is nothing more important than client service. As an Insurer we can help clients directly which increases efficiency and transparency reducing application and renewal times. We also have strong business relationships with specialist brokers and consultants. 

    Over 90% of our clients renew with us each year and we believe that part of our underwriting success is a result of the personal interest we take in getting to know our clients and their business.  Understanding your business allows us to take account of your future bonding requirements. Every enquiry is assessed by an underwriter on an individual basis.

    t&g are approved bond providers for ABTA, ABTOT and  ATOL and our Financial Failure Insurance policy is accepted by ABTA and ABTOT.

    Our Travel Bonds are insurance backed bonds which tend to be unsecured and require an annual premium to be paid.

    topp our Financial Failure Insurance policy enables Travel Organisers to meet their regulatory requirements on a pay-as-you-go basis rather than a bond.
