Frequently asked questions

Can I get a title loan in Auburn, AL?

Alabama has no statute that names "title loans." Lenders that hold car titles generally operate as pawnshops ("title pawns") licensed under the Alabama Pawnshop Act, which allows a charge of up to 25% of the principal per month. You can start online; the lender will need to see the car and a lien-free (or nearly paid-off) title in your name.

What happens if I miss a title loan payment in Auburn?

You do not have to redeem or make payments. Goods not redeemed within 30 days after the original maturity date are forfeited to the pawnbroker. The pawn ticket must state that the property may be sold after 30 days past maturity with no further notice.

What do I need for a title loan in Auburn?

Most lenders ask for a vehicle title in your name, ideally free of other liens, a valid government-issued ID, proof of income, proof of residence in Alabama, and the vehicle itself for photos or a quick inspection. Some lenders also ask for proof of insurance or a spare key. Requirements vary by lender. Start our 3-minute form to see what lenders need from you.

What is a title loan in Auburn?

A title loan is a loan secured by your vehicle's title. The lender holds a lien on your car while you keep driving it, and the lien is released once the loan is repaid. Because the car secures the loan, approval depends largely on your vehicle's value, not just your credit. Auburn drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.

Can I get a title loan without the title?

You generally need the title, because it's what secures the loan. If your title is lost, you can request a duplicate from the Alabama motor vehicle agency, and some lenders can help with that step. If the title isn't in your name, it will need to be transferred first. Once you have it, Auburn drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.

Can I refinance my title loan in Auburn?

Often, yes. Some lenders let you refinance an existing title loan into a new loan with a different payment amount or term, and a new lender may be able to pay off your current one. Options depend on your vehicle's value, your income and Alabama rules. Enter your details on our form to see what lenders in our network can offer you. It takes about 3 minutes.

Can I get a title loan with a salvage or rebuilt title?

It's harder, but not always impossible. Many lenders require a clean title, while some will consider a rebuilt title after the car has passed inspection. Salvage titles are rarely accepted because the vehicle's value is hard to confirm. If your title is branded, mention it on our form so lenders serving Auburn can tell you upfront whether they can help. It takes about 3 minutes.

Do I need to visit a store in Auburn?

No. You can request offers online from a phone or computer. Some lenders, especially title lenders, may ask you to visit a location or send photos of your vehicle.
