When unexpected expenses arise, quick access to cash can be critical. TFC Title Loans offers a simple way to tap into the equity in your motorcycle while keeping it in your possession through motorcycle title pawns. Whether you have fair or bad credit, you can get funds quickly and securely using your motorcycle as collateral.
Motorcycle title pawns, also known as motorcycle title loans, allow you to borrow against your motorcycle’s value while continuing to ride it. With our nationwide network of licensed lenders, we help you find the right loan with competitive rates and flexible repayment options.
All of the lenders that we work with , fully comply with the CFPB.
What Are Motorcycle Title Loans?
A motorcycle title loan is a type of secured loan where your motorcycle’s title is used as collateral. The lender holds the title while you continue to use the motorcycle. Loan amounts are based on the motorcycle’s equity rather than your credit score, making these loans accessible even for individuals with bad credit.
Motorcycle title loans are sometimes referred to as:
- Motorcycle title pawns
- Motorcycle title loans online
These loans provide a convenient alternative to traditional loans or payday loans, with faster approval and funding.

How Motorcycle Title Pawns Work
Here’s how the process works:
- Complete an Application – Apply online or call our team. Provide basic information about your motorcycle (year, make, model, mileage).
- Submit Documents – You’ll need a lien-free motorcycle title, proof of income, government-issued ID, and proof of insurance.
- Loan Evaluation – The lender assesses the motorcycle’s value and equity to determine the loan amount. Some lenders may require photos or a quick inspection.
- Receive Funds – Once approved, funds are disbursed via direct deposit or in-person pickup, often the same day.
- Repayment – Choose a repayment plan that works for your budget. Once fully repaid, your title is returned.
