Frequently asked questions
Are title loans legal in Alaska?
We found no Alaska statute that authorizes car-title loans. Pawnbrokers (AS 08.76) must keep pledged property on their premises. Non-bank consumer loans of $25,000 or less made above the general legal rate require a Small Loans Act license and are subject to that Act's rate caps.
Can I get a title loan online in Alaska?
Yes. Many title lenders let you start and complete most of the process online. You enter your vehicle and income details, then upload photos of your car, title and ID instead of visiting a store. Some lenders may still ask for a quick in-person inspection. Funds are usually sent to your bank account. Start your Alaska title loan request in about 3 minutes.
How much can I get for a title loan in Alaska?
The amount depends mainly on your vehicle's value, along with your income and Alaska rules. Lenders typically offer a portion of what your car is worth, so newer vehicles with lower mileage usually qualify for more. You'll see the exact amount and terms before signing. Enter your vehicle's details on our form to see what lenders may offer. It takes about 3 minutes.
Can I get a title loan on a financed car in Alaska?
Sometimes. If you still owe money on your car, some lenders may approve a title loan based on your equity, meaning the car's value minus what you owe. Others require a title that's fully paid off and in your name. Because policies vary, enter your vehicle and current loan details on our form, and lenders serving Alaska will tell you what they can offer.
Can I refinance my title loan in Alaska?
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 Alaska rules. Enter your details on our form to see what lenders in our network can offer you. It takes about 3 minutes.
