What is a holiday loan?

A holiday loan is a personal loan that you take out to pay for a holiday. Personal loans are ‘unsecured’ – so you do not need to secure them against an asset such as your home.

What can I use a holiday loan for?

You can use a holiday loan to pay for the trip of a lifetime, whether you want to whisk yourself off to sunnier climes or take the entire family to Disneyland. You could even use a holiday loan for a short break away or to visit family abroad.

Once your lender approves your travel loan application, you can spend the money as you wish. It’s time to get planning!

Advantages of paying for a holiday with a personal loan

Fixed payments

With a fixed-rate personal loan, you know exactly how much your repayments will be and when you’ll need to pay them. This makes it easier to factor your repayments into your monthly budget.

Flexibility

With a loan for holidays, you can withdraw cash or use your debit card to spend the money. Some credit cards may charge withdrawal fees for cash or fees when using services overseas.

Disadvantages of a holiday loan

You pay interest

Taking out a holiday loan will increase the overall cost of your holiday once you consider the interest charged over the term of your loan.

Missed payments may affect your credit score

Although paying off your loan can help to improve your credit score, a missed payment can negatively affect it. Similarly, if you default on your loan, this could cause long-term harm to your credit score.

How do our holiday loans work?

We work with a carefully selected panel of trusted lenders and perform an initial soft search based on your circumstances. Simply check your eligibility online, and you’ll see all the available loans that match your requirements. We perform a soft credit check, which doesn’t affect your ability to gain credit.

Once you have your list of potential loans, compare them and choose the one that best works for you. Then continue directly to the lender.

Alternatives to loans for a holiday

There are other options for funding your next holiday. You could consider:

Credit cards

Paying for your holiday on a credit card and paying it back over time may be cheaper than taking out a personal loan. Make sure to weigh up the pros and cons of each holiday finance option before you make your decision.  

Using savings

If you can delay your trip, setting a target and saving towards it could suit you. Instead of paying off a loan through a holiday finance agreement, you could save the equivalent amount each month instead.

Share the cost

If you’re booking a group holiday, consider sharing accommodation and splitting the cost between family or friends. Choosing a self-catering villa over a hotel is a great money-saving strategy.

Take advantage of offers

For expensive holidays, many providers offer payment plans. Speak directly to your booking agent to see what deals they could do.
