How Do Title Loans Work? A Step-by-Step Guide

Title loans — also called auto title loans or car title loans — let you borrow against the equity in your vehicle. Here’s how the process works with Pacific Finance Company.

1. Apply

Start with a short online application or call us. You’ll share basic information about yourself and your vehicle: make, model, year, and mileage.

2. Vehicle evaluation

We look at your vehicle’s condition, market value, and mileage to help determine how much you may borrow.

3. Approval and terms

If approved, we review the loan amount, rate, payment schedule, and all fees with you before you sign.

4. Lien on the title

You keep driving your vehicle. We hold a lien on the title as collateral until the loan is paid in full.

5. Funding

After signing, funds are typically available as soon as the next business day — sometimes the same day, though that isn’t guaranteed.

6. Repayment

You make scheduled payments of principal and interest until the loan is paid off, and then the lien is released.

Know the risks

If you don’t repay as agreed, the lender can repossess the vehicle. Make sure the payments fit your budget before you borrow.
