Car title loans in South Dakota

A voter-approved cap that reshaped the market

Midwestern main street lined with parked cars

South Dakota voters approved a hard APR cap on consumer loans, which dramatically reduced the number of title lenders operating in the state. The lenders still writing loans do so within the cap, so pricing is far below the regional norm — but availability is thinner and income verification is more thorough.

Bad credit does not have to stop you. Expect closer income review here in exchange for far lower pricing — a good trade if you can document steady deposits.
