What Is an Auto-Secured Loan?

An auto-secured loan--also called an auto-secured transaction, secured car loan, or collateral car loan--allows you to use your automobile as collateral for a loan. This may provide you with additional lending options as compared to a secured loan. 

Many people use this type of loan for auto-related expenses, such as for repairs or other expenses. You can use the loan funds in a variety of ways.

Our loan terms are payable in monthly installments over one to five years, providing you with a more predictable repayment plan.

What Are the Benefits of an Auto-Secured Loan?

Many people take out a loan against their car or truck because it can help them qualify for a loan. Also, the terms may be more favorable when you use an automobile as collateral.

Auto-secured loans are especially helpful for unexpected expenses, especially vehicle-related costs.

When your car breaks down, your truck needs maintenance, or you require help with vehicle expenses, an auto-secured loan can provide the urgently needed funds.

What Are the Secured Car Loan Requirements?

To use a car for an auto-secured loan you must own the vehicle with no other lienholders. In addition, the vehicle must have adequate insurance protection. Finally, you must qualify for the loan.
