In a Nutshell: Title Loans in Arizona

A car title loan in Arizona uses your vehicle as collateral. That makes it a secured loan, backed by your car, so you hand the lender your title while you keep driving and paying the loan back.

To qualify, you need a vehicle that is paid off or close to it, and a way to show you can repay the loan. You can show this with proof of steady income, such as recent pay stubs, bank statements, or income from self-employment, Social Security, or disability.

Because the loan is secured by your car rather than mainly by your credit score, many people with low or bad credit still get approved.

With a title loan you can usually borrow about 25% to 50% of your car's value. In the Arizona title loans we have funded between 2024 and 2026, the average loan is around $2,800.

Title loans can be a convenient way to borrow money in Arizona, but they are also expensive and may result in the loss of your vehicle if you default on the loan.

With Swift Title Loans, you can complete the entire process online from home, including the vehicle inspection,^ document upload, receiving funds if approved, and making payments online, all in accordance with Arizona laws and regulations.

Online Title Loans in Arizona, Start to Finish

With Swift Title Loans you can get an online title loan with no store visit. Here is how the process works in Arizona, step by step.

How the Online Process Works

You apply online and fill out a short form with your personal details and your vehicle details. If you qualify, you get pre-approved right away, with no obligation to continue.

Next, you send photos of the vehicle and pictures of your documents from your phone, so there is no in-person inspection.^ If you apply early in the day, send everything we ask for, and get approved that morning, funding can happen the same day. If not, it is usually the next business day.*

When the loan is approved, the money can go straight to your bank account by direct deposit. You make your payments online too, so you never have to drive anywhere to pay.

How Your Title and Lien Work in Arizona (ELT)

Arizona uses an Electronic Lien and Title system, called ELT, run by the Arizona MVD. That means the lien on your car is held electronically. There is no paper title passed back and forth, which keeps things faster and safer.

When you pay the loan in full, we release the lien electronically and the MVD updates your record. Arizona allows up to 15 business days to release a lien after payoff. You can confirm the lien is gone for free on AZ MVD Now.

If a lender does not release the lien after you have paid, the MVD can step in, and the state can fine the lender between $50 and $500. You can read how Arizona handles this on the Arizona MVD vehicle liens page.

What to Expect, and When

  • Apply online with your details and get pre-approved if you qualify, with no obligation.
  • Send photos of your car and your documents from your phone.
  • Get funded, often the same day if you applied early and sent everything.*
  • Make your payments online each month.
  • Pay the loan in full, and the lien is released through ELT within 15 business days, though we usually release it well before that.

Title Loans in Arizona: The Rules and the Cost

Arizona calls these loans "secondary motor vehicle finance transactions." The rules are set in state law at A.R.S. §44-291, and the state regulator is the Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions (DIFI).

Arizona Title Loan Rules at a Glance

Rule What Arizona allows
Governing law A.R.S. §44-291 (secondary motor vehicle finance)
Regulator Arizona DIFI
Lender license Required (Sales Finance Company license)
Rate cap A monthly cap that changes with the loan size (see the cost table)
Loan amount Not set by state law; based on your car's value and your income
Loan term Not set by state law
Paying early Allowed, with money back for interest you did not use
If you miss payments The lender can repossess the car under Arizona's repossession rules

What a Title Loan Costs in Arizona

Arizona sets the most a lender can charge as a monthly rate. The bigger the loan, the lower the monthly rate, but the total cost is still high. These are the legal caps:

Loan amount Most you can be charged (per month) About the same as (yearly rate)
$500 or less 17% about 204%
$500.01 to $2,500 15% about 180%
$2,500.01 to $5,000 13% about 156%
Over $5,000 10% about 120%

To see what that means in dollars, here is the most a few common loan sizes could be charged for one month:

Loan amount Most you can be charged (per month) Cost for one month About the same as (yearly)
$500 17% $85 about 204%
$2,100 15% $315 about 180%
$3,000 13% $390 about 156%

Those amounts are the cost for a single month. The longer you carry the loan, the more it adds up, which is why paying it off quickly matters.

Title Loan vs Registration Loan in Arizona

These two sound alike, but they are not the same thing.

A title loan is backed by your vehicle title. You need a title in your name with no other loan on it. If you do not pay, the lender can take the car.

A registration loan is a different product. It is a small consumer loan under A.R.S. §6-632, often used when the car still has a loan on it, and it is capped at a much lower rate (36% on the first $3,000, and 24% on the part above that). If you are not sure which one a lender is offering, ask them to put it in writing.

Your Protections in Arizona

Key Takeaways: Title Loans in Arizona

  • What you pay depends on how much you borrow. In Arizona, smaller loans carry a higher monthly rate than larger ones. See the cost table above before you pick an amount.
  • A title loan and a registration loan are two different products with different rules. We explain the difference above.
  • You keep driving your car the whole time you are paying the loan.
  • You can pay the loan off early and lower what it costs you.

Borrowing Responsibly in Arizona

A title loan can help in an emergency, but it is one of the most expensive ways to borrow. Use it only after you have looked at other choices.

Borrow the smallest amount that solves your problem, and plan how you will pay it back before you sign. The faster you repay, the less the loan costs you.

Cheaper Options Worth Checking First

Before a title loan, it is worth asking a local credit union about a small personal loan. Arizona options include Desert Financial Credit Union, OneAZ Credit Union, and Hughes Federal Credit Union. For free help with a budget or debt, you can talk to a nonprofit counselor through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.

Check Your Lender First

Arizona requires title lenders to be licensed. Before you sign with anyone, look them up on the DIFI license search. If a lender is not licensed, do not sign.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to help you feel confident about title loans.

How much can I borrow with a title loan in Arizona?

It depends on your car's value and your income, and Arizona does not set a dollar limit by law. In the Arizona title loans we have funded between 2024 and 2026, most people borrow between about $500 and $3,000, and the average loan is around $2,800. Larger amounts are possible on higher-value vehicles, up to about $12,900 in our case. Borrow only what you need, since a bigger loan costs more.

How much does a title loan cost in Arizona?

Arizona caps the rate by loan size. The most a lender can charge is 17% a month on loans of $500 or less, down to 10% a month on loans over $5,000. Those monthly rates work out to roughly 120% to 204% a year, so these loans are expensive. There is a cost table on this page that shows what a few loan sizes look like in dollars.

Is a title loan the same as a registration loan in Arizona?

No. A title loan is backed by your vehicle title and needs a clear title in your name. A registration loan is a separate, lower-rate consumer loan that is often used when the car still has a loan on it. Ask the lender which one you are getting, in writing.

Can I get an Arizona title loan online?

Yes. With Swift Title Loans you apply online, then send photos of your car and your documents from your phone, so there is no store visit and no in-person inspection. If you qualify and apply early in the day, you may get funded the same day.

Do I keep my car during the loan?

Yes. You keep driving your car the whole time. We hold the lien on your title, not the car itself, and that lien is handled electronically through Arizona's MVD system.

What happens if I cannot pay the loan back?

If you fall behind, we can repossess the car under Arizona law. The car can then be sold, but the sale must be fair, you must get notice, and any money left after the loan is paid comes back to you. Talk to us early if you are struggling, because paying early or working out a plan saves money.

How fast do I get my title back after I pay off the loan?

Once you pay in full, we release the lien through Arizona's electronic system and the MVD updates your record. Arizona allows up to 15 business days to release a lien. You can confirm it for free on AZ MVD Now.
