Important information: How much we lend and the rate available are dependent on our assessment of your circumstances. You must be age 18 or over and a UK resident. You must have had a Lloyds Bank current account for at least one month.

How our holiday loans work

  • Borrow between £1,000 and £50,000 and pick a term over 1-7 years. 
  • If approved, the money could be in your account the same day, 9am-8.30pm, or before 9am the next working day.
  • It's easy to keep track using Internet Banking or the Mobile Banking app but you can also phone us or pop into a branch.
  • The amount you can borrow and rate offered will depend on your personal circumstances.

Things to consider

Using a loan to pay for your holiday depends on your individual circumstances. 

Making a budget - There are lots of things to consider when booking a holiday or trip away. Write down everything you'll need to pay for and how much it might cost.

Deciding how much to borrow - Will you be able to afford to pay the loan back if your circumstances change?

Other borrowing options - Is a loan the right choice for you? There may be other borrowing options that are better suited to your personal circumstances.

Apply for a holiday loan

To apply for a holiday loan, you need to:

  • be aged 18 or older
  • be a UK resident (excluding Channel Islands and the Isle of Man)
  • have held a Lloyds Bank current account for at least 1 month
  • be in paid employment, have a regular income and are not a full-time student
  • have a good credit score, with no history of bad credit, such as CCJs or bankruptcy.

Good to know

Repayment holidays – Once you've made the first monthly repayment on your loan, you’ll have the option to apply for a repayment holiday. You can apply for up to two non-consecutive repayment holidays of one month each, in a rolling 12-month period (subject to approval).

Just be aware – even though you won’t need to make your usual repayment during your repayment holiday, we’ll still charge daily interest on your loan. This means you’ll pay more overall, and your loan’s end date will be extended by one month each time.

Make extra payments with no extra charges.

Pay off your loan early if you want. We may charge up to 58 days' interest for early settlement.

Let’s look at the details

  • Using a loan to pay for your holiday depends on your individual circumstances. Will you be able to afford to pay the loan back, taking into account any interest and fees? Would another borrowing option be cheaper or more suitable for you?

    Usually, the cheapest way of paying for a holiday is by saving up as much as you can afford to before you leave. This may mean you need to borrow less, or not at all.

    If you do want to borrow money to help pay for your holiday, there are other options available. It is important to select the one that suits your needs. View our borrowing options or learn more about the ways you can pay for a holiday.

  • A holiday loan is a personal loan you can use to pay for a holiday. So when the money is in your account, you can use it for things such as flights, hotels or transfers.

    There are some things you can't use a personal loan for.

    We won't issue loans for:

    • Gambling
    • Investments, such as stocks, shares and crypto currency
    • Business reasons
    • Land or property – buying, leasing or paying a deposit
    • Timeshare or Holiday clubs
    • Anything illegal
  • Getting a personalised quote with us does not use a credit check or affect your credit score.

    When you apply for a holiday loan, we will perform a credit check. This is to help us understand how likely you are to pay the loan back. Learn more about how credit checks work.

  • We look at lots of things when calculating your interest rate. When you apply, we will give you a personalised quote based on many factors, such as:

    - Credit history.

    - Past account history.

    - How much you want to borrow.

    - How long you want to repay the loan over.

    - Other personal details we hold.

  • You'll start to repay the loan the month after you take it out - you can specify which date each month the repayment comes out. 

    You can change this date in the future if you need to. The repayments will be taken each month by Direct Debit.

    The repayments are fixed so they won't change until the loan is paid off.

    If you miss a repayment (such as, there is not enough money in your account), we will try once more to take it by Direct Debit within 7 days. If still can't take your repayment, you'll be charged a £25 fee. Full details will be provided when you apply.

    You can make extra payments with no charge. If you pay the loan off early, we may charge you up to 58 days’ interest – but you are still likely to save on interest payments overall.
