Title loans are a fast way to get cash quickly. You might consider getting a title loan if you have an emergency expense or don't have enough money to cover a bill. However, you should only use a title loan when you have the money to pay it back quickly. If you need more money than your vehicle is worth, you can have more than one title loan at the same time. But, you would need to own another vehicle with a clear title for each loan you get.
How Many Title Loans Can I Get?
As long your income supports it, there is no limit to the number of vehicles you can use to get title loans. Each clear title that you have represents an opportunity to get funded using your title as collateral.
Can I Get Two Title Loans on One Car?
Getting two title loans on the same car is not possible because a lender places a lien on your title when you get a title loan on your vehicle. That title is no longer considered clear and will not meet the requirements
Will Another Title Loan Affect My Credit?
Title loans are essentially borrowing money off the value of your vehicle. Most title lenders don't run a hard credit inquiry when you apply for a title loan. So, they won't impact your credit scores.
While a title loan has no negative effect on your credit score, it also has no positive effect on your credit score when you pay it off. Lenders will not report your payments to the three major credit-reporting bureaus, TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian, which means that type of loan will not help your credit score either.
Even if you default on your loan, the lender will first need to ensure fair debt collection practices, then repossess and sell your vehicle. Those funds are used to pay the debt, so there is no need for the lender to sell your debt to an agency or report the default to the bureaus.
How Do I Get a Second Title Loan?
If you live in a state that allows two title loans, you'll need to know the value of your vehicle. Depending on the lender you choose, you might be able to get a loan at 50% of your car's value.
You bring your vehicle, car title, and necessary paperwork to your lender. You can apply online, but you'll need to go to a title lender for a quick visual inspection and sign the paperwork. Once you complete the application process, the lender keeps your title to the vehicle, places a lien on it, and gives the money to you.

Does My State Offer Two Title Loans?
Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin offer title loans in the United States.
Why Should I Get Another Title Loan?
Pay Your Rent On Time
Avoid late fees or eviction. Depending on where you live, a landlord can begin the eviction process in a few days. If you get evicted, you'll have a difficult time renting another place anytime soon. Plus, you might have to pay expensive fees.
Fast Funds For Car Repairs
When your car surprises you with an expensive repair, most of us don't have the extra funds to fix it. It isn't even an option to not use your car until you save up money for repairs.
Money For Medical Bills
Medical debt can increase at a significant rate, and most medical facilities are not into renegotiating. If you need extra money for an existing bill or a current issue, a title loan could help cover your bill or get you some cash for medication.
Cover Emergency Travel Costs
Last-minute travel can be costly. You might need a loan to cover a plane ticket to see a sick relative or attend a funeral.
Case Study
With low credit scores, Carol and John were unsuccessful in getting funding from a bank. They were trying to get money for a deposit to move into a rental home. They had two dogs, and the rental deposit was more than they had saved, and the home they wanted would be rented soon.
They calculated their budget and determined that they could afford a title loan and a registration loan at the same time and have it paid off in two months. Both loans would allow enough money to pay the pet deposit and moving costs. They were able to move into their dream rental with a big yard for their dogs.
How Can I Benefit From Two Title Loans
More Money
The most significant benefit of getting a title loan is that it enables you to borrow more quickly. Title loans are usually processed on the same day, sometimes in as little as 15 minutes. This is because it is a simple process involving the lender looking at your car to make sure it is worth the amount you need to borrow.
Easy, Fast Approval
There are high approval rates with car title loans. Lenders use your car title as collateral to guarantee the loan. The risk of giving you money is lower because the lender can legally repossess your car if you default on your loan.
Keep Your Vehicle
Another benefit is that you get to keep the car and still drive it while you have the loan out. You will give your title to the lender, but you can still drive. There's no inconvenience, and you get your money.
Bad Credit Okay
Because a title loan is a secured loan, your loan is based on a piece of collateral that you are putting up - So you can have bad credit or no credit at all.
No Prepayment Penalties
There are no prepayment penalties, so you can pay off the entire loan as early as you can. If you can pay off your loan early, less interest will accrue than if you continue with the payment plan options.
What Are the Drawbacks?
Can You Afford Another Loan?
Consider your budget before you apply for another loan. You must be confident in your ability to repay the loan on or before its due date.
You Could Lose Your Vehicle
You risk losing your car if you don't make your payments. If you default on your loan, the lender has the right to repossess your vehicle. They will then sell it to pay off what you owe. If the proceeds from the sale of your vehicle are less than the amount of your remaining balance, you still have to pay the difference.
Some Lenders Have Short Loan Terms
Some title loan lending terms are for short periods. You'll want to research and find lenders that have longer repayment periods that allow you the time to pay off your loan.
Temptation To Overspend
With easy access to cash, you might be tempted to get a loan that you don't need. Think about the risks and don't get loans for frivolous reasons such as expensive clothing, shoes, or purses.
What Are My State's Title Loan Laws?
Title Loan laws, interest rates, and repayment terms vary from state to state. For example, a Nevada title loan only allows a term of up to 210 days. An Arizona title loan will let you get a loan for up to 18 months (24 to 36 months for larger loans). Research the title loan laws in your state before you sign a contract. The list below will help you get started.
What Are My Alternatives to Getting Two Title Loans
Most other types of loans that are title loan alternatives will require credit checks for you to be approved. These loans are very different from title loans, and when you are looking to get money quickly, you must understand how these loans differ to decide what option is best suited for your current situation.

- Short-Term Business Loan
- Peer To Peer Loans
- Credit Card Cash Advance

FAQs
Can I Have Two Names On One Car Title At The Same Time?
Yes, you might be able to get a title loan with your name on the title along with anyone else's. Two names on the title imply two people registering and owning the vehicle together. How the names appear on a title is essential in determining how CASH 1 processes the loan. When 'AND' or 'AND/OR' or 'OR' join the parties' names, both parties need to sign the agreement acknowledging the loan/lien if only one party is going to be financially responsible for the payments.
How Much Money Can I Borrow With A Title Loan?
At CASH 1, you can get from $50 to $50,000 for a title loan in Arizona or Nevada. We determine your loan amount based on the value of your vehicle and your ability to repay. We take great pride in offering the underbanked a solution and being part of your financial success.
How Long Do I Have To Pay Back My Title Loan?
You get up to 18 months in Arizona to repay and six months in Nevada with low, fixed-rate payments due on your pay dates. Are you worried about missing your payment dates? You can set up automated payments with us.
Whichever loan term you choose, you are free to pay that loan off early with no additional fees or penalties. We encourage you to make early or more prominent payments that will save you a significant amount of money.
What Happens If I Miss A Payment On My Title Loan?
The cost of missed payments can often snowball and make it difficult to complete future payments. A title loan doesn't affect your credit score (in either direction), but your credit can be damaged if you default on your loan and your vehicle is repossessed. If you are late on a payment, you need to have open communication with your lender. You might be able to work out a refinance or receive an extension.
Can I Drive My Car With A Title Loan?
Yes. Once you are approved, you give us the title of your vehicle that you get back when your loan is paid in full. You still retain possession of your vehicle and continue to drive your vehicle while you pay off your loan.
Do I Need A Clear Title?
Yes. You are not considered the car owner when you don't have a clear and free title in your name.
However, if you are making payments on your car, our loan officers can help you get an alternative registration loan that doesn't require a title in hand.
What's The Difference Between Registration Loans And Title Loans?
Registration loans work similarly to title loans because you use your car as collateral in exchange for money. With a title loan, you trade your clear car title for money. Registration loans use your car registration as collateral for the loan. Using your vehicle's registration is beneficial if you are still making payments on your vehicle.
Can I Get A Registration Loan If You Have A Title Loan?
If you have another vehicle that you are making payments on, you can get a registration loan. You cannot get a registration loan and a title loan on the same car.
