Use a credit card to pay for at least some of the booking, if you live in the UK and the booking value is at least £100. This will ensure the booking is covered under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act in the event the booking has not been fulfilled or provided by the company you have booked with.
If you don’t wish to use a credit card, bear in mind that PayPal offer buyer protection when payments are made through their system.
Where a debit card is used to make payment, you may be entitled to request a chargeback from your card issuer where the booking has not been fulfilled or provided by the company you have booked with.
