Velocity Cash – Car Title Loan FAQ Page

Title loans are generally short-term loans that use your automobile like a car, van or truck as collateral to secure a loan. Motorcycles can also be used as security.

Yes, you certainly can. You turn over the title to us and in exchange, we’ll give you cash.

Yes, you can drive your car as frequently as you like and anywhere you want to go.

Title loans don’t require a lengthy application process and lots of documentation like traditional loans, which can lengthen the loan process. Typically, title loans have higher payouts, good interest rates and payout within a day or less.

Unlike traditional personal loans, where you must state how the loan money will be spent, title loans don’t have this requirement. You can use your cash for anything you would like such as:

• Emergency cash.
• Paying bills.
• To cover security deposits.
• Paying for college.
• Making car repairs.
• Paying down high interest credit cards.
• Emergency doctor visits.
• Buying groceries.

Loan amounts can vary greatly depending upon the vehicle you are offering as collateral. The basis of a loan may be set by referencing Kelly Blue Book to get the value of a used vehicle. In addition, the factors listed below will affect loan amounts:

• The overall condition and value of the automobile used as collateral. For example, we’ll look at the age, mileage, working condition and whether it has ever been damaged in an automobile accident.
• Title lenders may use slightly different criteria when evaluating the value of a vehicle. In addition, each lender establishes loan amounts based on a percentage of the car’s value. For example, if the car’s value is $20,000, you may receive a loan amount for about 75 percent of the value or less depending upon the lender.
• Title lenders must follow state laws. Each state may have different state regulations regarding loan amount limits. Even though, you may have a newer vehicle worth a great deal of money, it’s possible your loan amount may be slightly lower because of state law restrictions.

Since credit scores are not pulled for loan approval, there is no hard inquiry on your credit score. So your score is not affected in any way.

In some circumstances, title lenders are able to secure higher payouts than traditional banking institutions because they are not limited by tight restrictions. Generally, title lenders are able to secure great interest rates for borrowers, which help to keep payments affordable.
