Car title loans in Glen Allen, 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.

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.

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.

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. Glen Allen drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.

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, Glen Allen drivers can start a title loan request online in about 3 minutes.

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 Virginia, 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.

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 Glen Allen can tell you upfront whether they can help. It takes about 3 minutes.

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.

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.
