You are here:
In Tennessee, these loans are called title pledge loans. You can borrow up to $2,500 using your vehicle's title while continuing to drive your car.
The loan starts as a 30-day agreement and may be renewed under Tennessee law.
Because title pledge loans are a high-cost form of credit, they are generally used for short-term emergency expenses.
Borrow only what you need and make sure the payments fit comfortably within your budget.

These are examples, not a quote. Your amount depends on your vehicle’s value, your income, and Tennessee rules.
Before you sign for a title loan in Tennessee, it helps to know what the state controls. Tennessee caps both the loan size and the monthly charge, and it gives you real protections if you fall behind.
| Rule | What Tennessee Allows |
|---|---|
| Maximum loan amount | $2,500 against a single vehicle title |
| Interest cap | Up to 2% of the principal per month |
| Fee cap | Up to one-fifth, or 20%, of the principal per month |
| Effective cost | Up to about 264% a year once the maximum interest and fee are combined |
| Loan term | 30 days, and you may renew |
| Renewals | From the third renewal on, you must pay down at least 5% of the original principal each time |
| Right to cancel | Cancel by the close of the next business day for a full refund |
| Regulated by | Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions (TDFI) |
The charge is figured on your original loan amount, not the shrinking balance, so you owe the same amount each 30-day period until you pay in full.
Tennessee allows title pledge lenders to charge up to about 264% a year. Your exact rate depends on your vehicle, loan amount, and term, and is shown in your loan agreement.
It is worth comparing offers from different lenders to keep your costs down.
| You Borrow | Term | APR | Charge | Total Due |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $500 | 30 days | ~36% | $15 | $515 |
| $1,000 | 30 days | ~36% | $30 | $1,030 |
| $2,500 | 30 days | ~36% | $75 | $2,575 |
Each renewal adds the same kind of charge, so the longer you carry the loan, the more it costs. Read your contract closely before you sign.
Governing law: the Tennessee Title Pledge Act, enforced by the Tennessee Department of Financial Institutions.
Before you sign, make sure you understand the full cost: the monthly payment, the total you will repay, and any fees. Confirm the exact numbers in your own contract.
It is worth comparing a few options before you borrow against your title, then choosing the one that fits your situation.
Tennessee credit unions such as Eastman Credit Union and ORNL Federal Credit Union offer small personal and payday-alternative loans, and they consider members with limited credit.
You can also ask a creditor for a payment plan, or get free guidance from a nonprofit counselor through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
