What is a holiday loan and how does it work? 

A holiday loan is a type of personal loan, allowing you to borrow a lump sum of money and pay it back over a timeframe that suits you.

Our travel loans are fixed, so your interest rate will remain the same for the duration of your loan term. This means you’ll repay the same amount every month, helping you to better manage your outgoings.

We know you can’t wait to book your next adventure, which is why we’ve designed our application process to be quick and easy. Simply fill out our online application form, receive an instant decision and, if accepted, once your application is complete the funds will be deposited into your account within two working days.


What can I use a travel loan for?

If you’re longing for that well overdue break on the beach or craving an exotic adventure trekking through the mountains, our low-cost holiday loans can help you cover the upfront costs.

Jet off on your trip sooner

We don’t always have the money ready to go for the holiday we want and, if travelling is top of your to do list, why wait to save up? With a travel loan, you can get the money you need to book that getaway much sooner – perfect for last-minute holidaymakers or those who’ve caught the travel bug.

Take your trip from a three-star to a five-star experience

Treat yourself to a luxurious getaway without worrying about every penny you spend. Where spending thousands upfront might not be possible, or you’d prefer not to deplete your savings, a personal loan could give you greater financial flexibility when planning your trip. Is it time to upgrade your travel experience?

Make the cost of a bucket list holiday more manageable

Whether you’re getting the whole family together, celebrating a special occasion or ticking a dream destination off your bucket list - a big holiday is likely to be expensive. You can make the cost of your trip more manageable by spreading it over fixed-rate monthly instalments over a schedule that suits you.

Top up your budget to cover all those little extras

Paying for your transport and accommodation can be the biggest expense when booking a holiday, but don’t forget to budget for meals, activities, travel insurance and any other additional costs. Whether you need to borrow enough to pay for every part of your trip or just want to top up your funds, a holiday loan could be a great option.
