Planning the financing of your trip
A great trip is also well prepared financially. Here is how to estimate your budget and avoid the financing of your holiday weighing too heavily once you are back.
List every expense category of the trip
- Transport (flights, car rental, fuel)
- Accommodation
- Activities and excursions on site
- Food and daily spending budget
- Travel insurance and unexpected costs
Why plan ahead rather than scramble?
Booking a trip with financing arranged in advance, rather than at the last minute out of necessity, often lets you take advantage of better rates on flights and accommodation, as well as spreading the financial load more evenly over time.
Matching the repayment term to the nature of the expense
Since a trip is a consumption expense rather than an investment, it is generally advisable to choose a short repayment term matched to the amount borrowed, rather than excessively stretching out the cost of a one-off pleasure.
Keeping a margin for spending on site
Beyond the amount set aside for flights and hotel, keep a margin for unexpected spending once you are there, rather than folding everything strictly into the borrowed amount.
