Frequently asked questions
Can I get a title loan in Dublin, CA?
Car-title loans are legal in California as California Financing Law (CFL) loans. 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 Dublin?
If you miss payments or default, the lender can repossess the car. The DFPI notes some lenders use remote engine-disable devices that may include GPS tracking.
How do I get a title loan in Dublin?
Gather your vehicle title in your name, a government-issued ID, proof of income and proof of address. Then complete our online form with your vehicle's year, make, model and mileage. A lender may ask for photos or a quick inspection to confirm the car's condition. If you're approved, you'll review the full terms before you sign. It takes about 3 minutes to get started.
Can I refinance my title loan in Dublin?
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 California 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 on a financed car in Dublin?
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 California will tell you what they can offer.
What is a title loan in Dublin?
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. Dublin 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 California 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, Dublin drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Dublin?
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.
