How Much Does An Auto Dealer Bond Cost?

Click here if you don't know what an auto dealer bond is.

The price of an auto dealer bond is determined by a surety.

A surety is an insurance company that specifically underwrites surety bonds. (Not all insurance companies provide surety bonds.)

Every surety does their own - independent - assessment when providing a rate for a surety bond.

This means you'll get a different price from each surety.

And this means the lowest rate can save you hundreds of dollars.

 

How is an Auto Dealer Bond Price Determined?

All states (except Ohio) require a custom rate quoted by a surety to determine exact pricing.

The rate quoted by a surety are based on:

  • Credit of the owner or owners
  • Industry and business experience of the business
  • Any prior bond claims if there are any from previous licenses held
  • Plus the overall landscape of the dealership claims in the state

Using a specialized surety agency like Surety Bonds Direct will save you money.
