A title loan is a short-term loan on your car or truck. Some lenders will make a loan on a motorcycle, boat or RV as well. To qualify for a loan, you must have the title to the vehicle in your name. If title is held in both you and your spouse’s name, both of you must apply for the car title loan.
Generally, the title to your vehicle must be “clear.” That is, you cannot owe another lien holder money against the title. Some lenders will make a car title loan if the amount owed a previous lien holder is less than 25% of the “low book” value of the vehicle.

The title loan process typically takes about 30 minutes. Many title lenders provide the loan proceeds in cash. Others will give the borrower a check or a debit card. Some title lenders ACH the loan proceeds into the borrower’s checking account. A lot of this depends on whether you’re an Internet car title loan lender or a “brick-n-mortar” store front lender.
The lender’s ability to refinance a title loan is subject to state laws, but it is available where applicable. Refer to our “How to Start a Title Loan Business Manual” for your state’s laws. Certain restrictions may apply. If applicable, you may refinance a loan by paying the interest and fees. Your new loan will then pay off the previous loan, which will then be due on your next pay date.
