    Question, does travel insurance cover for problems with DIY holidays, specificly if I book an apartment with the owner and pay by IBAN rather than Credit Card, and the accomodation isn't availiable for any reason, double booked, gone bust etc. does the insurance cover for loss

    Also anyone have any other words of wisdom about travel insurance for DIY arrangers

    UPDATE

    OK some further details, spoke to Axa they don't cover curtailment if the hotel goes bust, burns down or whatever but brings me to another question


    IBAN v Credit Card, as is common with a lot of businesses in Switzerland and Austria, Austria want payment via IBAN, I know that if I paid by Credit Card that there are some safeguards about not recieving goods or services but what is the situation with IBAN, are there any safeguards or is it, as I suspect, just a transfer of funds?


    I've also asked this question in the Biz/Personal/Banking & Insurance & Pensions as it seems to be a query that crosses boards
