There are many good and bad things about all types of loans, and there are different qualities of loans even within the different types. There are some things you should ask  when applying for title loans.

1.    Ask if there any penalties for making payments faster than scheduled. Some types of title loans will charge you a penalty for paying off the loan faster than agreed. This tactic is typically used by some of the more expensive companies. The idea being that they don't properly explain interest and fees, and when you decide you'd rather pay it off quickly to avoid these high rates, you are charge fees for doing so. Be very wary of any company that employs this practice as they are likely not honest in other ways as well.

2.    Procedure for late payments, how many payments can you miss before they attempt to repossess your car, how late can you be before repossession is attempted. Ultimately all title loans are backed by the possibility that they can take your car back for non payment, but if they can take it back for being late once. You should probably avoid this lender. Don't put your car on the link depending on the idea that you will miss absolutely no payments for any reason.

3.    You'll want to be careful to avoid companies that charge fees and those that are too aggressive about late payments. Both of these can potentially lead to huge problems. So it is best to deal with a company you trust, and read the agreement carefully before agreeing to get any type of title loans.

4.    Ask if there any Insurance for you when something might happen to caused you dead. Don’t forget you have this insurance for sure.
