Essentially, you\u2019re borrowing against the value of your car, motorcycle, or truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the lender temporarily holds your title, you can <strong>keep driving your vehicle<\/strong> while you make payments.

These loans are designed for small emergencies and are usually due on your next payday (typically <strong>within two to four weeks<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need collateral; instead, you provide the lender with proof of income and an active checking account.

You may also renew or \u201croll over\u201d the loan if you can\u2019t pay it off immediately, although this adds to your total cost. <strong>Payday loans<\/strong> are designed to be short-lived. They\u2019re usually due <strong>in full by your next paycheck<\/strong>, typically within <strong>two to four weeks<\/strong>.
