Car title loans in Brainerd, MN

Car title loans are allowed in Minnesota only from lenders licensed by the Department of Commerce (industrial loan and thrift or regulated lender), and charges are limited to the pawnshop maximum of 3% a month plus a limited storage/service fee. You can start online; the lender will need to see the car and a lien-free (or nearly paid-off) title in your name.

The title-loan statute covers loans of $1,000 or less. Most lenders lend a percentage of the car's wholesale value.

A vehicle covered by a title pawn may not be sold until 90 days after the vehicle is recovered. Title pawnbrokers must be licensed used-car dealers and verify liens and insurance.

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 Minnesota will tell you what they can offer.

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 Minnesota, and the vehicle itself for photos or a quick inspection.
