Fly drive or book separate

[Katys Grandad]

Firstly, I echo the remarks about car hire through this site. The big plus of BA fly drives is that you can secure the whole package with a small deposit whereas booking separately requires full payment for the flights upfront. Even more handy these days when things are so uncertain.

If you book a fly drive it constitutes a holiday and as such is covered by ABTA. We had booked a fly drive with BA in 2019 and when others were having problems with airlines etc getting a refund at the start of the pandemic our costs were returned to us without query in only a few days of us being notified of the cancellation.
