A holiday loan is a personal loan that you can use to finance holidays, spreading the cost through monthly loan repayments.

The rate you pay depends on your circumstances, loan amount and term and may differ from the Representative APR. We will never offer you a rate exceeding 29.9% p.a. (fixed), regardless of loan size. This means you're not guaranteed to get the rate you see in the calculator.

Take a break, with a loan repayment holiday

When you apply for a loan, based on your circumstances, we might give you the option to defer your first repayment. 

  • It's only available at the start of your loan term
  • You can defer your first loan repayment for a three month period
  • If this option is available, we'll show the details of your repayment holiday at the quote stage of your application

How do holiday loans work?

Like other personal loans, when you choose a holiday loan, you’ll receive your money in a lump sum to pay for your holiday. You then pay this back over an agreed period of time. You’ll also pay interest on top of the amount you’ve chosen to borrow.

You can also personalise the amount you borrow to cover all costs. For example, if your big summer holiday will cost £10,000, you could opt to borrow a little more to cover the costs of add-ons such as airport transfers or excursions and day trips, which you wouldn’t be able to do with other holiday finance options.
