Frequently asked questions
Can I get a title loan in Boise, ID?
Car title loans are legal in Idaho under the Title Loan Act from lenders licensed to make regulated consumer 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.
How much can I get for my car title in Boise?
The loan, together with other title loans from the same lender on that vehicle, may not exceed the vehicle's retail value under common appraisal guides. Most lenders lend a percentage of the car's wholesale value.
What happens if I miss a title loan payment in Boise?
Before acting on a default, the lender must mail a 'Notice to Cure Default' giving you 10 days to cure. No finance charges accrue after the lender takes the vehicle. The lender's only recourse is the vehicle (no personal judgment) unless you blocked repossession, damaged the vehicle or committed fraud.
What do I need for a title loan in Boise?
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 Idaho, 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 Boise?
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. Boise 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 Idaho 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, Boise drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
Can I get a title loan online in Boise?
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 Boise title loan request in about 3 minutes.
How do title loans work in Boise, ID?
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.
Do I need to visit a store in Boise?
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.
