You are here:
Own your vehicle in Louisville and thinking about a title loan?
You can use your car's title as collateral and keep driving it while you repay. We work with drivers across Jefferson County, from NuLu and the East Market District to Old Louisville, the Highlands, and the areas around the I-64 and I-65 interchange.
Kentucky changed how these loans work. After House Bill 726 in 2024, a title loan here is no longer a short-term title pledge; it is a licensed consumer installment loan you repay in fixed monthly payments, with no rollovers.
The rate is capped on a sliding scale, up to 36% a year on balances of $5,000 or less and lower on larger loans, and the most you can borrow is $15,000. That keeps the cost below states that set no limit.
How much you can get usually falls between 25% and 50% of your vehicle's value, based on what the car is worth and your ability to repay, not your credit score.
As an example, a $3,500 loan repaid over 12 months at the 36% cap would run about $350 a month, or roughly $4,204 in total. Your own rate may be lower.
With Swift Title Loans you can start the whole request from home and get a free estimate to compare against other offers before you commit.
If you move ahead, a few uploaded photos handle the vehicle check, so there is no store visit or in-person inspection.^ Approved funds can arrive the same business day.*
A title loan is a real obligation. Borrow only what you need, because if you fall behind and the car is sold for less than you owe, Kentucky law lets the lender pursue you for the difference.
The state also requires licensed lenders, full written cost disclosure, and written notice with a right to redeem your vehicle before any sale. Review the Kentucky title loan rules and your contract before you sign.

Here's a real example of a funded title loan from our branch:
2016 Toyota Corolla | 2018 Honda CR-V | 2019 Ford F-150 | |
| Estimated Vehicle Value | $9,000 | $16,500 | $27,000 |
| Mileage | 112,000 | 88,000 | 79,000 |
| Loan Amount | $2,500 | $6,000 | $11,000 |
| Loan-to-Value | 28% | 36% | 41% |
| Term | 12 monthly payments | 12 monthly payments | 12 monthly payments |
| Maximum APR (tier cap) | 36% | 29.04% | 27% |
| Monthly Payment | ~$251 | ~$583 | ~$1,056 |
| Total to Repay | ~$3,014 | ~$6,990 | ~$12,676 |
Each loan amount is 25% to 50% of the vehicle's value, and the cost uses Kentucky's legal rate caps under KRS 286.4-530 (up to 36% on loans of $5,000 or less, 29.04% from $5,001 to $10,000, and 27% from $10,001 to $15,000) on a 12-month installment. Your actual vehicle value, loan amount, rate, and payment will vary. These are estimates, not a quote.
| Rule | What Kentucky Allows |
|---|---|
| Interest cap | Tiered: up to 36% a year on loans up to $5,000, 29.04% on $5,001 to $10,000, and 27% on $10,001 to $15,000 |
| Maximum loan | $15,000 (no state minimum) |
| Loan type | Licensed consumer installment loan, repaid in fixed monthly payments, no rollovers (House Bill 726, 2024) |
| Regulator | Kentucky Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) |
| If you fall behind | Written notice and a right to redeem before any sale; surplus returned, but the lender can sue for a shortfall |

A title loan is fast, but it is a serious commitment: your car is the collateral, so if you fall behind on payments you could lose it. That is why it works best as a short-term fix for a real emergency, like an urgent car repair or a bill that cannot wait, and not for everyday spending.
Before you borrow, ask yourself a few simple questions. Do I really need this right now? Can I comfortably make the monthly payment? Is there a cheaper option, like a credit union or a payment plan, I could try first?
If a title loan is the right move, borrow only what you need and nothing more, because the smaller your loan, the less you pay back. We always show you the full cost up front, with no hidden fees and no prepayment penalty, so there are no surprises. For a neutral overview before you decide, the FTC explains how car title loans work.
