KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • A title loan uses an asset, like a vehicle, as collateral. These types of loans are popular because approval does not depend on the applicant’s credit rating – and is often granted very quickly.
  • A car title loan is the most common type, providing fast cash when borrowers need it most.

WHAT IS A TITLE LOAN?

A title loan is a type of secured loan that allows borrowers to use their car title as collateral. When a borrower takes out a title loan, they give the lender their car title in exchange for a loan amount. The loan amount is typically a percentage of the car’s appraised value.

HOW DOES A TITLE LOAN WORK?

To apply for a title loan, you must first prove that you own your car. Once approved, the lender will assess the value of the car and offer a loan amount based on that appraisal. The borrower then agrees to pay back the loan (with interest) over a set time period, usually between 30 days and a year.

EXAMPLES OF A SECURED TITLE LOAN

Borrowers often need cash fast when unexpected circumstances arise, such as a medical emergency. For instance, if an injury requires expensive medical treatment, the patient may not have the funds on hand to cover the cost. A title loan is one way to get cash fast, using the patient’s car as collateral. In exchange, the lender will provide the needed funds – with an agreement that the loan will be repaid within 30 months. Here at Auto Money, our loan specialists make the process quick and convenient – so you get the cash you need, when you need it!
