You are here:
A car title loan lets you borrow against a vehicle you own, using its title as collateral while you keep driving it.
Virginia reformed its title loan law in 2021, capping interest at 36% a year and adding strong borrower protections. That is well below what most states allow, but a title loan is still a high-cost way to borrow.
Loans are capped at $2,500 and repaid in monthly installments over 6 to 24 months, with no rollovers and no penalty for paying early. The Virginia State Corporation Commission oversees every licensed lender.
With Swift Title Loans you can start the whole request online from your phone. There is no store visit, and no physical inspection, since you send photos instead.^

Same-day funding is possible, but it depends on timing. If you apply before noon, send every document we ask for, and get approved that morning, qualified borrowers can be funded the same day, usually by direct deposit.* If we need more time to verify your details, funding can move to the next business day.
You repay in fixed monthly installments over 6 to 24 months, online or by phone, and there is no penalty for paying early.
Virginia uses the DMV Electronic Lien Program, so we never hold a paper title. While you repay, the lien sits electronically on your record with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles.
When your loan is paid in full, we send the DMV an electronic lien release. Virginia processes these every night, so your record usually updates to lien-free within about 24 hours, and your car is yours free and clear with no wait on paperwork.
If you want the physical paper title, the DMV prints it the next business day and mails it, and it typically arrives within about seven business days.
If you need the title in hand sooner, for example to refinance or sell right away, you can get one printed the same day at a DMV Customer Service Center. Bring your driver's license or ID and your current registration, fill out Form VSA 67 whenever you are ready, and pay the $15 title fee.
If your vehicle had a lien, bring the lien release we provide once your loan is paid off. You can confirm your title or lien status anytime through the Virginia DMV.
These examples show typical loan amounts and costs received by other borrowers. Your loan amount, terms, and costs may vary based on your vehicle, income, and underwriting review.

Virginia overhauled its title loan law in 2021, replacing triple-digit rates with a strict 36% interest cap and strong borrower protections. Here is what the state controls.
| Rule | What Virginia Allows |
|---|---|
| Interest cap | 36% a year, simple interest |
| Maintenance fee | Up to the lesser of $15 or 8% of the loan, per month |
| Maximum loan amount | $2,500 |
| Loan term | 6 to 24 months, repaid in monthly installments |
| Rollovers | Not allowed |
| Right to cancel | Until 5 p.m. on the third business day, by returning the principal |
| Deficiency | None. The lender cannot pursue you for any shortfall after a sale |
| Regulated by | Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC), Bureau of Financial Institutions |
Virginia caps interest at 36% a year. A monthly maintenance fee of up to $15 adds to that, and because it is a flat fee, it raises the real cost more on smaller loans. Even so, the all-in cost stays well below what title loans run in most states. The examples below use a 12-month term.
| You Borrow | Term | Monthly Payment | Total to Repay | All-in APR |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $1,000 | 12 months | ~$115 | ~$1,385 | ~63% |
| $1,500 | 12 months | ~$166 | ~$1,990 | ~55% |
| $2,500 | 12 months | ~$266 | ~$3,195 | ~48% |
Your exact payment depends on your amount and term, so read your contract before you sign.
Governing law: the Virginia Motor Vehicle Title Loan Act, enforced by the Virginia State Corporation Commission.
Virginia's 36% cap keeps title loans here well below the cost in most states, but a title loan is still a high-cost commitment, so borrow only what you need and make sure you can repay it on time.
Before you sign, review your full cost: the interest, the monthly maintenance fee, the payment schedule, and the total due. Always confirm the exact numbers in your own contract, since those are the terms that apply to you.
There is no prepayment penalty in Virginia, so paying off early lowers what you pay. If you can, it is usually worth doing.
You can verify any Virginia lender through the State Corporation Commission before you borrow.
Even at Virginia's lower rates, a few options can cost less, especially with poor or no credit.
Many Virginia credit unions offer small personal loans or payday-alternative loans at a lower cost, and they consider members with thin credit. Examples include Virginia Credit Union and Langley Federal Credit Union.
It is also worth asking a creditor for a payment plan or speaking with a nonprofit counselor through the National Foundation for Credit Counseling before you put your car on the line.
