Where can I get a title loan without the car?
My husband and I are celebrating our anniversary in about two months, and I want to buy him a new watch as a gift. Unfortunately, I’m a bit short on cash. I want to take out a title loan to purchase the watch while it’s on sale, but my husband took my car on a business trip. Where can I get a title loan without the car?

Congratulations on the upcoming anniversary! A watch sounds like a great gift, and the good news is that, if legal in your state, you can get a title loan without the car. You just need to find the right lender.
Requirements vary, but some lenders will approve car title loans without the car present. However, finding a lender to approve such a loan could be challenging because title loans use your car as collateral. To find the right lender, shop around and compare offers from a few willing lenders to find the most favorable terms before signing an agreement.
When applying for the title loan without your car, you’ll likely need the following:
- The vehicle title and registration
- Pictures and a description of the vehicle
- Your driver’s license
- Proof of residency
- Proof of income and employment
Alternatively, if you don’t want to worry about potentially losing your vehicle or having a high APR you could:
- See if the watch seller offers a different payment plan or financing
- Apply for a personal loan
- Use a credit card
- Ask friends and family for a loan
- Save money on other expenses
