Frequently Asked Questions What is an auto title loan?
What are title loans?
What are car title loans?
What is a pink slip loan?

These are all different names for the same type of loan. Similar to a home equity loan, an auto title loan allows you to borrow cash up to $50,000 based on the equity in your vehicle. You will have regular, low monthly payments (no balloon payments) -- just like a car loan! You get to keep your car and you don't have to give us an extra set of keys. We will place a lien on your vehicle in exchange for the loan and then upon loan repayment, we will return your title.

Can I drive my car while I have the loan?

Yes. You get the cash and you keep the car and drive it, while you are making your scheduled payments on your auto equity loan.

How are Car Title Loans different from Payday Loans or Pay Advance Loans?

Car Title Loans differ from Payday Loans in three important ways. First, the interest rates on Car Title Loans are much cheaper than the interest rates on Payday Loans. Second, Auto Title Loans allow you to make easy and affordable monthly installment payments, whereas Payday Loans require you to pay off the entire balance at once. And third, Car Title Loans allow you to borrow much more cash than Payday Loans - up to $50,000.
