You've paid off your car, and need money for an unexpected expense. This has you wondering about getting a car value loan. A car value loan, also known as a title loan, can be an option to draw off the equity in your car. 

Title loans are one of the alternative financing options available to people who need money fast. Typically, people look to fast title loans because they don't consider going to a bank as a good option. Keep reading to learn more about this loan versus a traditional bank loan.

Title Loans Vs. Bank Loans

There are three primary reasons why using a car value loan has some advantages over getting a personal loan from a bank. The primary reason is that fast title loans are available to more people than bank loans. 

Banks are getting stricter about loan requirements and those with lower credit scores won't get approved. They can, however, apply for title loans, which gives them a better chance of approval for customers because private lenders look primarily at the value of your vehicle rather than a credit score. 

The title of your vehicle is used as collateral to secure the loan, which enables many people with bad credit to be approved, although approval isn't guaranteed. A car value loan typically involves less stress in applying and getting approved than dealing with a bank loan. The paperwork is simpler and faster than when dealing with a bank, too.

Another reason why title loans are advantageous over bank loans is the amount of money you can borrow. Since you are using the value of your car as a basis for the loan you may get a larger amount than what a bank would give. That's because banks look primarily at your credit history to make that determination.

Another reason why people will look to title loans over bank loans is that a car value loan gets you money faster. The application process can take as little as a half hour to complete and you can have cash by the end of the next business day, depending on the private lender. 

Title loans are used as a short-term financing option where you have an expense that can't wait. Since you can get thousands out of the value of your vehicle's equity in a loan, depending on the vehicle, it can be a solution for a larger expense, like replacing a water heater or a roof repair.
