How title loans work in Tennessee
A title loan lets you borrow against your car, truck, or SUV using its title as collateral, and you keep driving your vehicle the whole time. Approval is based mostly on your vehicle's value and your income, not your credit score, so bad credit or no credit is usually fine. Most lenders offer between 25% and 50% of your vehicle's wholesale value.
Title lending in Tennessee is regulated at the state level. That is why we only match you with lenders licensed in Tennessee: their rates, fees, and terms have to follow state rules, and you deal directly with the lender you choose.
