Title: How To Transfer A Car Loan To Another Person
1How To Transfer A Car Loan To Another Person
2There are two primary ways to transfer a car loan
to another individual modify with your existing
lender or seek a new lender. Modifying with your
existing lender will present the least penalties
to you, but it may not be the best deal for the
new borrower. Seeking a new lender will end up
costing you more, but the new borrower will
likely see more benefits. Depending on your
priorities, you will have both options to choose
from.
3Modifying Directly
- You can contact your lender directly to inform
them you will be selling the car and that you
would like the loan to go with the car. This is
actually what happens when you trade in a car to
a dealership before repaying the loan. The lender
will be open to the possibility, but you will
have to prove the new borrower is credit worthy.
In fact, the new borrower should have equal or
better credit than you in order for the transfer
to go smoothly. The entire loan will be
transferred, meaning it will appear as though you
were never a borrower on the car at all. The new
borrower will receive the good standing of your
loan, but he or she will be on the hook for the
entire balance.

5Seeking a New Lender
- A new lender will offer to pay off the remaining
sum on your loan with a loan issued to the new
borrower. This would count as prepayment to the
existing lender, which can result in credit score
problems for you and financial penalties. The new
borrower, however, will likely benefit because
the sum remaining is smaller than the initial
principal. This smaller car loan would typically
come with lower monthly payments, lower interest
rates and other benefits to the new borrower.
6Changing a Car Title
- When you elect to transfer a car loan, ensure you
transfer all of the car's documents as well. You
can change the title holder on a car at your
local DMV. There should be instructions on the
back of the title for how to change the title to
another name. Some titles will allow you to
simply write in the new owner. Others will
request you fill out a change in title with the
DMV officially. This varies by state. If you do
opt to go with a new lender for the car loan, you
will also need to change the lien holder on file.
The lender will typically do this part
themselves.

8Meeting Insurance Requirements
- You will need to make sure car loan the new
borrower meets insurance requirements placed by
the lender. Ask the lender what these
requirements are. If you are passing the car to a
child or relative who will remain under your
insurance plan, then you do not need to be as
concerned with this step. You will still want to
be sure the new owner is listed on the insurance
policy, which can result in higher insurance
payments. This is particularly true if the new
owner is under the age of 25 or a new driver.
