Frequently asked questions
Can I get a title loan in Chaska, 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.
How much can I get for my car title in Chaska?
The title-loan statute covers loans of $1,000 or less. Most lenders lend a percentage of the car's wholesale value.
What happens if I miss a title loan payment in Chaska?
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.
How much can I get for a title loan in Chaska?
The amount depends mainly on your vehicle's value, along with your income and Minnesota 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 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 Minnesota 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, Chaska drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
Can I get a title loan with a salvage or rebuilt title?
It's harder, but not always impossible. Many lenders require a clean title, while some will consider a rebuilt title after the car has passed inspection. Salvage titles are rarely accepted because the vehicle's value is hard to confirm. If your title is branded, mention it on our form so lenders serving Chaska can tell you upfront whether they can help. It takes about 3 minutes.
What is a title loan in Chaska?
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. Chaska drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
How do I get a title loan in Chaska?

Do I need to visit a store in Chaska?
