How to apply and what you’ll need

The pawn-a-car loan application process is quick, easy and discreet. Simply call the lamna Gaborone office and tell us about your vehicle – the make, model, condition and mileage.

We’ll give you an indicative offer of a loan immediately. Alternatively, you can complete and submit our online application form and we’ll call you.

The next step is to arrange an independent appraisal of the vehicle at our Gaborone office. At that point, we’ll make a formal offer of a loan commensurate with the car’s appraised fair market value.

The paperwork is drawn up and signed. The car is handed over to us, where it is safely stored until the loan and accrued interest are paid back in full. In exchange, the borrowed funds are transferred into your bank account.

When pawning a car in Gaborone, the following documents are required:

the vehicle’s original registration papers
a copy of your Omang
proof of address.

Why we don’t recommend “pawn-and-drive” schemes

Pawn-and-drive schemes may seem like a great way of dealing with a cash crunch but, in reality, they’re fraught with danger.

Although you do have access to funds and get to “keep” your car, there are a number of risks attached to these lending schemes.

If you want to avoid relinquishing ownership of the vehicle, or being charged exorbitant “rental” rates for using your own car, we recommend you steer clear of “pawn-and-drive” lenders in Gaborone.
