General Title Loan Questions

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 $2,600 and $20,000, 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. 

You can apply online for a car title loan at Montana Capital Car Title Loans. We offer the option to apply online or over the phone by calling 1-800-700-8900.

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:

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.

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. 

In general, it is a good idea to have it to protect your asset since accidents and theft can happen. After all, you can’t have a title loan without the collateral that goes with it. Plus, paying back the loan AND paying for car repairs can be costly.

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.

Unfortunately, you cannot get a title loan on a leased car. You must have a lien-free car title with your name on it to get a title loan.

Some borrowers may be able to get a loan on a car with a salvage title. Approval is on a case-by-case basis and depends on the extent of the damage, the car’s value, and your ability to repay the loan. 

When a car is labeled as salvaged, its value goes down significantly. The exact percentage varies, but is generally accepted to be 40-50% lower than another vehicle of the same make and model with a clear title.

Most borrowers must have a lien-free car title before getting a title loan. However, in some cases, we can pay off the remaining loan balance with the title loan funds. This works best when you have only a few payments left.

Your co-borrower must provide proof of residency, income, and a valid driver’s license to qualify.

You can’t sell a car with a title loan on it. You must own the car lien-free. However, if you still have time left on your loan term, you have a few options:

  • 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.
  • Sell the car to a private buyer. If you find a buyer willing to buy the car before receiving the title, you can use the proceeds from selling the car to pay off the title loan and provide the buyer with a clear and free title.

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. You’ll still have a lien on your title when you take out the new loan, but you’ll use the proceeds of the new loan to pay off the existing loan.

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.
