Answer: peer-to-peer loan.
Why: title and payday loans charge very high APRs and are intended for short-term emergency cash — they’re expensive and risky (title loans use your car as collateral). Student loans aren’t for consumer expenses like a vacation and generally require enrollment/qualification. Peer‑to‑peer or other unsecured personal loans typically offer much lower interest rates than payday/title loans and are appropriate for a small, short-term personal loan if you qualify.
Quick tips:
- Compare APRs, fees, and total cost across lenders (P2P platforms, banks, credit unions).
- If you qualify, a bank/credit‑union personal loan or a 0% intro credit card can be even cheaper.
- Borrow only what you need and confirm there are no prepayment penalties so you can repay with your bonus.
