Ohio title loans are licensed installment loans with fixed monthly payments and an interest rate capped at 25% per year.
There is no state loan limit, so the amount you qualify for depends mainly on your vehicle's value and your ability to repay.
For example, a $1,000 loan over 12 months costs about $98 a month, or roughly $1,170 in total.
You keep driving your vehicle while you repay. Borrow only what you need so the monthly payments stay comfortable for your budget.

These are examples, not a quote. Your amount depends on your vehicle’s value, your income, and Ohio rules.
Ohio has no separate title loan statute. A loan secured by your vehicle is made as a licensed consumer installment loan, and the interest rate is capped at 25% a year under the Ohio Consumer Installment Loan Act (CILA).
Lenders must hold a state license and lend directly, so your cost is set by the statute, not by an uncapped broker fee. Here is what the state controls today.
| Rule | What Ohio Allows |
| Interest rate cap | 25% a year on the unpaid principal balance (ORC 1321.68) |
| Minimum loan amount | No state minimum |
| Maximum loan amount | No state maximum (most lenders offer $2,500 to $15,000) |
| Minimum term | 6 months (loans under 6 months are not covered by the Act) |
| Maximum term | No state maximum |
| Refinancing | No refinancing of the same loan during the first 120 days |
| Loan structure | An installment loan repaid in fixed monthly payments, not a single-payment title loan |
| Regulated by | Ohio Department of Commerce, Division of Financial Institutions (DFI) |
Ohio caps interest at 25% a year.
The examples below apply the state maximum 25% APR on an amortized installment loan, plus Ohio's permitted tier-based origination fee.
| Loan Amount | Term | Max APR | Amortized Interest | Est. Origination Fee | Total Due |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | 12 months | 25% | ~$140 | $30 | ~$1,170 |
| $2,500 | 24 months | 25% | ~$702 | $200 | ~$3,402 |
| $5,000 | 36 months | 25% | ~$2,155 | $250 | ~$7,405 |
Note on Ohio costs: examples reflect an amortized simple-interest calculation at the state maximum 25% APR, plus Ohio's permitted tier-based origination fee. Actual offers, terms, and fees vary by lender underwriting. Always review your written loan contract before signing.
Governing law: the Ohio Consumer Installment Loan Act (ORC 1321.62 to 1321.702; rate cap in 1321.68), with repossession under Ohio's UCC Article 9 (ORC 1309), enforced by the Ohio Division 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.
Ohio credit unions such as Wright-Patt Credit Union and Day Air 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.
