Auto-Secured Loans: Collateral Parked in Your Driveway

Sometimes a personal loan requires you to provide collateral in order to help qualify for the loan amount you’re seeking during the application process. With an auto-secured loan, you can obtain a loan using your car as collateral for the cash you need.

Frequently asked questions.

What is loan collateral?
Collateral is something of value that belongs to you that you agree to give your lender should you fail to repay your personal loan. The lender would then sell that item or investment to recover the unpaid portion of the loan.
What do I need to get an auto secured loan?
First and foremost, you'll need a vehicle that you own to get an auto-secured loan, such as a car or truck. Remember, when using a truck or car as collateral for an auto secured loan, it must be adequately insured before it can be accepted for your loan.
Why do I need collateral to secure a personal loan?
Offering collateral for a personal loan improves your chances of being approved for a larger loan amount and can generally get you a lower interest rate than an unsecured loan. Getting a personal loan with your car as collateral could also be a better option for those with a less-than-perfect credit score.
Is an auto-secured loan different than a car title loan?
Yes, these two types of personal loans are very different. Although car title loans utilize collateral in the form of your auto title, the high-interest rates and short terms of the loan distinguish them from an auto-secured loan. Unlike car title loans, auto-secured loans generally offers the borrower lower interest rates because the lender is taking less risk. Auto title loans operate like payday loans with triple-digit interest rates, short terms, and risk of falling into a “debt cycle” where you’re required to roll over your interest if you don’t make your payments on time.
