Plan Duration

Down Payments

You have to pay some of your debt up front.

• If your vehicle has been booted or towed, you must pay 20% of what you owe and all of the booting and towing fees, and redeem your vehicle within 48 hours.

A lower down payment amount or longer plan length may be available to individuals experiencing a financial hardship. This requires the submission of additional information to a Collections supervisor.
