What are holiday loans?
A holiday loan is a personal loan that’s used for travel expenses, such as flights, accommodation and spending money. At Red Tree Finance, you can apply for a holiday loan up to $5,000.
Why use a holiday loan?
Everyone needs a holiday now and again – whether it’s to relax and unwind, or spend some quality time with your family. But holidays can be expensive, with most Aussies spending about $5,000 on average to take a holiday. If you’re a middle or low income earner, this means it can take some serious time to save up enough cash to afford a vacation. Instead, you can take out a small personal loan, go on the trip you’ve been dreaming of, and pay it back as you earn! It’s an easy way to pay for the following expenses in one go:
- Flights
- Transport and car hires
- Accommodation
- Spending money
- Activities
- Food
- Tours
- Travel insurance
How does a holiday loan work?
A holiday loan is pretty straightforward. All you need to do is figure out how much you need to borrow, apply online and you could have the money in your account that very same day. In most cases, funds arrive within one hour of approval.

At Red Tree Finance, we don’t let computers do the work – instead, we have an experienced team of assessors that personally review each application. They are trained to ensure you can comfortably pay off the loan you’re applying for, so we’ll never recommend a loan amount that isn’t within your means.
Once a decision has been made, you’ll be notified immediately. So whether you’re an avid holiday planner or more of a leave-it-to-the-last-minute kind of person, you can rest assured you’ll have the money you need in time.

At Red Tree Finance we take our lending responsibilities seriously and are committed to lending responsibly.
