How it works, one step at a time

Start my free estimate

Everything happens online, so you don't need to go anywhere. Below, you'll see what happens at each stage and what you'll need.

First, get your free estimate

Tell us your ZIP code and a few things about your vehicle: mileage, year, make, model and style. You'll also say if it's paid off or if you still owe on it. It's about two minutes of your time, with no obligation. If you'd rather speak with someone, call (817) 618-3159.

Next, your vehicle is qualified

Your answers are checked, and current market prices for vehicles like yours are used to estimate its value. Of everything that goes into your loan amount, value matters most. Higher-value vehicles can qualify for as much as $50,000.

Then, upload your documents

Once the vehicle qualifies, a short application asks for these:

  • Your title, in your name and free of other loans
  • Pictures you take of the vehicle, its odometer reading and its VIN
  • A driver's license or other government-issued photo ID
  • Your current insurance and registration
  • Proof you have at least $1,500 coming in each month

The requirements page explains each one in more detail.

Last, sign and get your money

If you're approved, you'll see the full terms before you sign anything: how much you're borrowing, the APR, when each payment is due, and the total of payments. After you e-sign, your money goes out by wire, check or direct deposit. It can arrive in as little as 24 hours.

What sets your loan amount

  • The vehicle itself: how old it is, its make, model and trim, how many miles it has, and what shape it's in.
  • What you earn: your payments have to fit your budget.
  • Where you live: each state's law sets the smallest and largest loan sizes and how long loans can run.

Read the numbers before you sign

The monthly payment is only part of the picture. Look at the APR, the finance charge and the total of payments as well. Stretching the loan out lowers each payment but makes the whole loan cost more. You can always pay early, and there's no penalty for it.

Disclosure and example of title loan rates & fees

Loan approval depends on meeting the lender's credit criteria, which may include providing acceptable property as collateral. The loan amount, term and Annual Percentage Rate you qualify for may vary. Repayment terms are greater than 90 days and up to 36 months. Loan proceeds are intended primarily for personal, family and household purposes. Minimum loan amounts vary by state. You must be able to demonstrate the ability to repay the loan.

Not every applicant will qualify for the representative examples below, and final rates, terms and fees may vary by lender. If you are offered a loan, you can review the complete offer before accepting it. Providing your information does not guarantee approval. There is no charge to use this website, and Title Loan Hero may receive compensation from lenders and advertisers.
