FAQ

Travel loans - the details

Being better informed makes for better decisions. Have a question or two? Check out these helpful FAQs or get in touch with the team.

How much can I borrow for a travel loan?

The amount you can borrow depends on your trip costs and what you can comfortably afford to repay. Lenders assess this based on your income, expenses, and overall financial position.

What are the interest rates on travel loans?

Interest rates vary depending on your credit history, income, and the lender’s criteria. A strong credit profile may help you secure a lower rate, but all rates are assessed individually.

Are there any fees with a travel loan?

Yes, travel loans may include fees like establishment, introducer, and account-keeping fees. We'll let you know about all of these upfront.

Are travel loans worth it?

Travel loans can be worth it if they help you take a meaningful trip you couldn’t otherwise afford upfront — whether that’s a honeymoon, visiting family overseas, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Like any loan, it’s important to borrow responsibly and ensure the repayments fit your budget. With clear terms, competitive rates, and a realistic repayment plan, a travel loan can be a practical option for funding your next trip without dipping into savings or relying on high-interest credit cards.

How does the travel loan work?

A travel loan is a type of unsecured personal loan explicitly used to cover travel-related expenses — including flights, accommodation, insurance, or tours. You apply online, and if approved, funds are deposited into your bank account, usually within a day. You then repay the loan over time in weekly, fortnightly, or monthly instalments, with interest. Loan amounts and terms vary based on your credit profile and income, and you’ll always see the total cost upfront before you commit.

Can I get a holiday loan while on WINZ?

It may be possible to get a travel loan while receiving WINZ (Work and Income NZ) support, but it depends on the lender’s criteria and your overall financial situation. Most lenders will look at your total income, expenses, and ability to make repayments. If your only income is a benefit, you might need to provide extra documentation or apply through a lender that specifically considers applicants on government support. We work with lenders who offer flexible options, and we’re happy to explore what’s available for your situation.

*Fixed interest rates for vehicle loans range from 7.95% p.a. to a maximum of 29.95% p.a. on a minimum 12 month to a maximum 60-month loan term. Fixed interest rates for personal loans range from 9.95% p.a. to a maximum of 29.95% p.a. on a minimum 12 month to a maximum 60-month loan term. The actual interest rate charged to you will depend on your circumstances, the type of lending required, the security provided, and is determined by the lender. 

Fees apply, including an establishment fee of up to $350 and an introducer fee of up to $995. Also, lenders may charge a PPSR fee of between $0 and $14. For example: On a loan of $10,000 over 24 months at 9.95% p.a. with Establishment and Introducer fees totalling $495 and a PPSR Fee of $7.39, the total amount to repay is $11,627 which is 24 monthly payments of $485. Those amounts don’t include ongoing fees, such as Service Fees, charged by the lender. You can find full fee information in the loan contract. We recommend that you check the fees before accepting the loan offer. See more about lender fees here.
