Frequently asked questions
Can I get a title loan in Fort Lauderdale, FL?
Car title loans are legal in Florida from lenders licensed under the Florida Title Loan Act (Chapter 537), with interest capped at 18%-30% a year depending on loan size. 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 Fort Lauderdale?
At least 10 days before selling a repossessed vehicle, the lender must tell you the date, time and place of the sale and give you a written accounting of what you owe. Until the sale, you can get the vehicle back by paying principal, interest through the repossession date and reasonable repossession and sale expenses.
How do title loans work in Fort Lauderdale, FL?
You share details about your vehicle and income, the lender estimates the car's value, and if you're approved you receive an offer based on a portion of that value. You sign the agreement, the lender records a lien on your title, and you get your funds, often quickly. You keep driving while you repay. Start your request online and see your options 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 Florida 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, Fort Lauderdale drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
What is a title loan in Fort Lauderdale?
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. Fort Lauderdale drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
Can I refinance my title loan in Fort Lauderdale?
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 Florida 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 online in Fort Lauderdale?
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 Fort Lauderdale title loan request in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Fort Lauderdale?
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.
