Title Loans FAQ’s

A title loan is a loan against your car or other vehicle’s value. Montana Capital may be able to approve an SUV, van, motorcycle, boat, or even RV. We take possession of your title until you pay off the balance. Approval and the amount you can get is dependent on your ability to repay the loan and your vehicle’s value. You keep the car and drive it like you normally would during this time. When you pay the loan off, you receive the title and can do what you want with the vehicle.

Approved applicants can borrow up to 70% of their vehicle’s value, between $500 and $50,000, and may receive funds as soon as the next business day. Borrowers can receive funds via check, MoneyGram, prepaid or debit card, or direct deposit.

If you are experiencing a financial emergency or are having difficulty getting financing due to poor credit, title loans may be a good option to get cash quickly.

The good news is you can apply for a car title loan with bad credit. We may check your credit report, but it’s not the only information we use to determine if you qualify.

The main contributing factor for approval is your ability to repay the loan. With a steady income from any source, not just employment, and proof of enough collateral in the car, you may be eligible for a car title loan even with bad credit.For details about eligible sources of income, check out our article here!

When you borrow money with an auto title loan, you keep the car, just not the title. You send the title to us, and we keep it until you’ve repaid the loan in full. You are free to drive the vehicle, but you cannot sell it until you pay the loan as stated in the loan agreement. We hold the title as collateral. If you don’t make your payments, we reserve the right to repossess the car to get the money back.

Learn how a collateral loan works here!

If borrowers do not make their payments and default on the loan, their vehicle can be repossessed. However, it is in neither the borrower’s nor the lender’s best interest for this to happen. The borrower loses their vehicle while the lender has to go through a lengthy repossession process and risk losing money on the vehicle.

Therefore, if you are having trouble making your payments, speak to a Montana Capital representative to discuss your options and see how we can help. 

Learn more about the full repossession process and how to avoid it here.

Yes, title loan interest rates are high. According to the Federal Trade Commission’s website, the average title loan finance fee is 25%, with an APR of 300%. This is why we always recommend only using a title loan when you’re experiencing an extreme financial emergency and don’t have any other options.

While Montana Capital’s interest rates vary, the good news is that we don’t have prepayment penalties. This means you can repay the loan early if you have the funds sooner. This can save you money on interest payments.

Your name must be on the car’s title to apply for a new title loan. If you own the car with someone else, the title’s wording will determine if you can apply for a title loan.

Look at the title, and in between the two names, determine if an ‘and’ or ‘or’ is listed. If it’s ‘and,’ you’ll need the approval of the other owner, and both must go on the title loan. But, if there is an ‘or,’ this allows either party to take out a title loan and works the same if your name was the only name on the vehicle’s title.

Yes, you must have collateral for a title loan because it is used to secure the loan. In other words, your vehicle is used to protect the lender in the event you default on the loan. If that happens, it can be sold, and the funds used to pay off your loan.

That is why the vehicle’s value must be determined before the lender approves your loan to ensure it is worth the risk. 

Check out how you can use your car as collateral for a title loan here.

The collateral for title loans is the vehicle on the title. The collateral we accept for title loans includes:

• Cars
• RVs
• Classic Cars
• Commercial vehicles
• Motorcycle
• Powersports

At Montana Capital Car Title Loans, any of the above vehicles can be used as collateral as long as it’s worth enough to cover the loan, leaving 30% equity in the vehicle. In other words, we can only lend up to 70% of the value of your vehicle.

Learn more about the types of collateral we accept at Montana Capital here.

All states require auto insurance to drive a car except for Virginia and New Hampshire. However, insurance requirements to qualify for a title loan vary depending on the lender.

At Montana Capital, full coverage insurance is required for loan amounts over $5,000. Give our representatives a call at 1-888-700-8900 for help finding the best insurance policy for you.

• The easiest way is to pay the title loan off early. There’s no pre-payment penalty to pay it off early, and you’ll own the title to sell the car easily.
• Trade the car into a dealership. Some dealerships will work the title loan payoff into the new car’s deal. The dealer will then receive the title for the car.

Don’t want to give up your vehicle for a title loan? No problem!

A title loan buyout is like refinancing your loan. You take out a new title loan to pay off your existing title loan. This may be helpful if you can’t afford your current monthly payments.

Before accepting a loan buyout, consider how much you’re extending the new loan term so you know how long it will be before you have a clear vehicle title.

Yes, it’s possible to get a car title loan with bad credit. At Montana Capital Car Title Loans, we complete a credit check when evaluating your application. So, while we might consider your credit history, your ability to repay the loan and the value of your vehicle are the primary determining factors for loan approval.

Here’s what you need to know about bad credit title loans.

At Montana Capital, we don’t check your credit during the first part of the application. However, if you are preapproved and would like to proceed with the loan, we will run your credit as part of the loan process. 

Keep in mind that your credit score isn’t the only qualifying factor when applying for an auto title loan. Our primary focus is on the vehicle’s value and your income to determine approval.

While we do not report your monthly payments to the credit bureaus, we do check your credit which may temporarily lower your credit score by a few points.

If you make your payments on time and pay off your loan, no negative long-term effects will come to your credit score. However, if you don’t make your payments or your car is repossessed, it may show up on your credit report and negatively affect your credit score if we report the instance to the credit bureaus.

A title loan may even benefit your credit score. If you work with a lender that does report your monthly payments, your consistent and timely payments may improve your score.

You may ask someone to co-sign if you don’t qualify for a title loan. A co-signer makes your loan less risky and may increase your chances of approval. This is because they are agreeing to take responsibility to pay off the remainder of the loan if the primary borrower cannot. 

Before asking someone to co-sign your loan, be sure you can afford the monthly payment. The co-signer becomes responsible for the loan if you don’t make the payments, so it’s best to avoid taking a loan you can’t afford.

Did you have a cosigner on your vehicle? A car title loan is still possible!

Your title is free and clear if there aren’t any liens on it. This means that you aren’t using it as collateral for a loan. A lien holder is usually the lender when you finance the car.

If you aren’t sure if your title is free and clear, contact us, and we’ll help you determine it.

Lien-free titles are preferred; however, we may be able to approve a title loan with a lien in certain circumstances. For example, this may be the case when the outstanding loan is small, and there’s room to pay off the loan plus provide you with the funds needed.
