Pawn My Car

Can I pawn my car?

The most stringent requirement of pawn car loans is that you need to be in full ownership of the vehicle. The loan provider cannot use the vehicle as collateral if it is still in the ownership of a third party such as a bank or other lender.

If you are in full ownership of the vehicle, you can get loan approval fast and hassle-free. If you need a larger loan amount, which may not be offered by other loan types such as short-term loans or personal loans, car pawn loans could be your ideal financing option.

Can I pawn my car & still drive it?

We have car pawn lenders that allow you to pawn your car and drive it. If you have the official ownership documents of the vehicle you can easily get loan approval against your vehicle - and still have transport. You might need to comply with an on-site estimation of your car but as soon as that is done, you get to drive off with your car.

There are loan providers who do not permit you to keep your car. Instead, the vehicle will be stored in a safe location until the loan has been repaid. It is a very important detail to verify before you sign the loan agreement.

Secure a loan with your car as collateral

There is a really simple way to secure a loan - use your car as collateral. The only additional loan requirement, when compared to traditional loan types, is that you need to own the vehicle and own the paperwork to verify vehicle ownership.

Additionally, you need to agree that the loan provider may take ownership of the vehicle should you fail to make the agreed-upon loan repayments.

Keep in mind that you can secure a competitive interest rate and larger loan amount because car pawn loans are secured loan types. Secured loan types facilitate better interest rates and larger loan amounts.

Let’s look at car pawn requirements

Car pawn loans are not traditional loan types. You are signing and agreeing that the loan provider may take ownership of the vehicle should you fail to make the loan repayments. With this said, you can expect a few additional requirements.

Do I qualify to pawn my car for cash?

To qualify for a loan against your vehicle you will need:

• to have a valid ID and be a citizen of ZA
• have a copy of your latest proof of address
• full ownership of the car (or other assets you are pawning/selling)
• details such as the make, model, and current mileage of the car
• the ownership papers of the vehicle, which will be given to the loan provider.

These are the standard requirements to get car pawn approval. The full requirements for loan approval are at the discretion of the respective lender.

Have you found the best car pawn service?

Another benefit to asset pawning loan types is that you can use a variety of assets such as collateral. These include but are not limited to vehicles, boats, jewellery, and various other luxury items. Usually, if an asset is of high value it is accepted as collateral. This works well if you’re in a position where you need financing and your vehicle - but perhaps have another asset you can pawn.

Choosing the right loan provider is essential
