Vacation season is in full force. The signs are everywhere: White pants are no longer faux pas, coworkers show up sunburned, talk of joining gyms is abuzz, while friends and family start dreaming up grand vacations…that is until they realize they can’t fund them. Or can they? Vacation loans are one way to fund a trip this season. To learn more about vacation loans, continue reading.
Let’s face it, everyone needs a break.
Whether it is simply time away from your office during the day, taking an extra day to make it a three-day weekend or leaving town, we all need one.
If you are considering the latter but can’t afford it right now, you may want to consider a vacation loan.
A vacation loan is basically an amount of money borrowed from a financial institution where the funds are allocated towards vacation expenses, i.e. airfare, lodging, meals, transportation and a variety of other miscellaneous travel expenses.
Some financial institutions offer what they call an “Unsecured Vacation Loan,” with varying amount restrictions. A quick internet search revealed one offering $500 to $8,500, sans restrictions on how to use the money (i.e. it could be used to pay off other bills or credit cards), as well all as another for a loan between $10,000 and $25,000. Numerous credit unions also offer unsecured vacation loans to their members.
“Secured Holiday Loans” are based upon a borrower’s credit rating and require some sort of collateral for the loan, such as your home, vehicle(s) or other property. This essentially makes them about the same as conventional loans.
Both types—unsecured and secured–have similar variable annual percentage rates, repayment terms between 24 to 84 months and are reflected on your credit report. However, there are times when people do use various forms of cash advance to finance a short vacation.
