Frequently asked questions
Can I get a title loan in Alexandria, VA?
Car title loans are legal in Virginia from lenders licensed under Chapter 22 of Title 6.2. 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 Alexandria?
No more than $2,500, and a lender may not have you owe it more than $2,500 in principal at any time. The vehicle may not already have a lien on it. Most lenders lend a percentage of the car's wholesale value.
What happens if I miss a title loan payment in Alexandria?
Except for fraud or voluntary surrender, the lender may not take the vehicle until you are in default. If it does not mail you a written default notice at least 10 days before repossessing (and you then fail to pay), it may not charge you repossession and sale costs, and it may not repossess before the date stated in the notice. At least 15 days before a sale it must tell you the sale date and the redemption amount, and you may redeem the vehicle any time before the sale. Interest stops accruing once the vehicle is repossessed, or 60 days after a missed payment (unless you are hiding the vehicle). The lender generally may not sue you personally; its remedy is the vehicle.
How do title loans work in Alexandria, VA?
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.
What is a title loan in Alexandria?
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. Alexandria drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
Can I get a title loan on a financed car in Alexandria?
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 Virginia will tell you what they can offer.
How do I get a title loan in Alexandria?
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 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 Virginia 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, Alexandria drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.
Do I need to visit a store in Alexandria?
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.
