Here are 2 easy ways to protect yourself if your travel company goes bankrupt like Thomas Cook. (via CNBCMakeIt)
. While booking with a credit card will allow you to get your money back if your travel company ceases operations, travel insurance, depending on the policy, will reimburse you if you need to pay for additional flights or hotels if you're stranded.
But before you pay for extra insurance, check your wallet. Some credit cards actually offer forms of travel insurance as a perk. For example, thecredit card offers built-in trip interruption insurance that reimburses up to $10,000 per person if your trip is cancelled or cut short because of situations such as an illness or severe weather.
Comprehensive trip insurance can be expensive. You can expect to spend an average of $164 for a week-long trip, according to finance research sitethat looked at the top 50 offerings on the market. In many cases, travel insurance policies will include financial default coverage, so you can "be made whole" if a hotel or airline, for example, is unable to provide service, Ritcher says.Joel Carillet | iStock Unreleased | Getty Images.
