Tax Day

Today is officially “tax day”. Tax Day is the final day that individual tax returns are due to the federal and state governments. Depending on how you file your taxes and what you claim, you will either receive money from Uncle Sam or owe him some. Congratulations if you receive money back from the government. That’s great news. There are many ways to make great use of that extra cash. You can invest it, add it to the savings account, pay off debt, or spend it.

If you find that you owe money, don’t be alarmed. A large percentage of individuals owe money back to the US Government after filing their tax returns. You may wonder where you’re going to get that extra cash. Some people have enough money in their savings account(s) to pay unexpected bills like this. Others have family members who can spot the money for them. The rest of us have to come up with that money on our own, and fast. If you’re in need of extra cash, consider a car title loan with TitleMax. It’s a fast way for you to get the cash you need and continue driving your vehicle.

There are just 4 items you need to obtain a car title loan:

1. A vehicle registered in the applicant’s name
2. A clear, or lien-free, car title
3. A government-issued ID
4. Proof of income

With these 4 items you can be approved for a car title loan up to *$5,000! We do not require proof of insurance and we do not check your credit. You can have little, no, or even bad credit and still be approved for your cash loan in as little as 30 minutes. Our friendly team members will walk you through the simple process and have you out the door quickly with the cash you need!

We have more than 1,000 locations across the country. To find a location near you, visit our Store Locator and enter your zip code.

Black Friday Specials

Black Friday Shopping 101

Black Friday can be a very overwhelming experience. It’s also one of the best ways to get great deals and save some money on all those holiday gifts you want to buy! To help you navigate through this hectic holiday we’ve put together a few tips so you can make the most out of your Black Friday shopping adventure.

  • Preview prior to Friday (or Thursday in many stores case) – Almost every chain store offers an online preview of what’s going to be on sale for Black Friday. Take some time between now and then to browse those previews and see what items are on sale at which stores. This way, you can determine what stores have the best deals for what you need and only visit those locations.
  • Make a list…or two – If you write down all the people you want to shop for it will help you stay focused and get you out of the stores quicker. If you had time to preview sale items online (step 1) you can also make a list of the items you know you have to have. This will help ensure you don’t forget anything and have to go back to possibly pay more for that same item!!
  • Be patient – It is almost guaranteed that every store will have a line. If you go into your Black Friday shopping experience with this in mind you will be less likely to get frustrated and leave before you’ve gotten to pick up all your Black Friday deals!
