AVG Travels Customers Left Stranded? DealsAway.com Launches “Deposit Rescue” Offer For Affected Travellers

Recent news surrounding the collapse and liquidation of AVG Travels has left many Australian travellers devastated, with cancelled holidays, lost deposits and uncertainty around refunds affecting hundreds of customers across the country.

At DealsAway.com, we know how much people save, plan and look forward to their holidays. For many Australians, these trips are bucket-list experiences booked months or even years in advance.

That's why we're stepping in to help.

DealsAway Deposit Rescue Offer

If you've lost money on an AVG Travels booking, DealsAway.com will help offset part of your loss when booking a new international holiday package with us.

Eligible affected customers can transfer their lost AVG Travels deposit to DealsAway.com, with us crediting up to 20% of the new trip value toward their booking.

Example:

• Lost a $1,000 deposit with AVG Travels?
• Book a $5,000 DealsAway holiday package?
• We will offset up to $1,000 toward your new booking (subject to booking terms).

The goal is simple: help Australians still take the holiday they were excited for, without starting completely from scratch financially.

Why We're Doing This

Our team will assess each request individually to ensure the offer is fair and sustainable.
