✈️ Planning a Summer Getaway? Here’s How to Make It Happen—Stress Free

Whether you’re dreaming of sun-drenched beaches, a city break with culture and coffee, or a fun-filled staycation closer to home, a summer holiday is something we all look forward to.

But let’s face it—between booking flights, paying deposits, and planning spending money, the cost can creep up fast. That’s where we come in.

At Kilrush Credit Union, we’re here to help you turn your holiday plans into reality, with local support and flexible options you can trust.


🧳 Step 1: Decide What Kind of Holiday You Want

It might sound obvious, but defining the type of holiday you’re after can help you plan smarter.

Are you after:
✅ Total relaxation on a beach?
✅ A road trip around Ireland or the UK?
✅ Family-friendly theme park fun?
✅ A solo adventure or cultural escape?

Knowing this will guide how much you need to budget and what’s realistic.


💶 Step 2: Set a Holiday Budget (That Actually Works)

Once you’ve chosen your destination or type of break, it’s time to price it up. Include:

  • Flights/travel

  • Accommodation

  • Food and drinks

  • Day trips or entertainment

  • Travel insurance

  • Spending money

It’s worth giving yourself a buffer—you want to enjoy your trip, not stress about every cent.


💡 Step 3: Consider Your Financing Options

If you’re ready to book but the timing isn’t right financially, a holiday loan from Kilrush Credit Union might be the answer.

Here’s why our members choose us:
✔️ Local decisions made by people you know
✔️ No sneaky fees or hidden charges
✔️ Fair and flexible repayment options
✔️ The peace of mind of borrowing from a trusted source

And remember, you don’t need to be an existing borrower—we’re here for members planning their first loan too.

Apply online now or drop into the office. We’ll talk it through, no pressure.


💱 Don’t Forget Your Travel Money

Heading abroad? We’ve teamed up with Fexco Foreign Exchange to make sorting your travel money simple and secure.

With competitive rates and a quick, easy ordering process, you can get the currency you need without the hassle.

📍 Order online or in branch.
Because when you travel with peace of mind, you truly relax.


📱 Bonus Tip: Go Digital with Your Planning

Use free apps like TripIt or Google Trips to organise your bookings, or create a holiday budget in your phone notes so you can stay on track.

And don’t forget, with our mobile app and online banking, you can check balances or make transfers from anywhere—even from your sun lounger.


🌞 Ready to Get Started?

Whether you’re heading to Lanzarote or Lahinch, we’d love to help you make it happen. Apply for a holiday loan today—or pop in for a chat.

We’re Kilrush Credit Union—local, loyal, and here to help you go further.
