What Is an Auto Dealer Bond?

An auto dealer surety bond is an agreement between three parties: the obligee (the state requiring the bond), the principal (the auto dealer) and the surety (the provider of the bond).

Auto Dealer Bond Agreement

The motor vehicle dealer bond guarantees that your dealership will operate in compliance with state regulations. That’s why it’s usually required in the process of obtaining your dealer license: it is a protection the state requires of you for your customers.

When a surety reviews your application for bonding, your dealership must undergo a pre-qualification process that assesses the strength of your business. The bond, in this sense, acts as a line of credit for your business that indicates you are operating a reliable auto dealership.

A claim can be made on the dealer bond, if your dealership doesn’t follow the applicable laws and regulations. If a legitimate claim is filed against your dealership, the surety will pay all relevant costs up to the amount of the surety bond it had underwritten for you. However, you will have to reimburse these costs later on, which means avoiding claims is the best course of action.

Auto Dealer Bond Cost

Each state has a different requirement in terms of the bond amount, so the cost for your business depends on your dealership’s location. Depending on the state, the required motor vehicle dealer bonds can vary widely, from as little as $5,000, up to $100,000.

The cost of your auto dealer bond -- also known as the premium -- is only a percentage of the bond amount, usually between 0.75%-2.5% for standard market applicants, 2.5%-10% for the less qualified. Your premium depends on the specifics of your business, such as your credit score, professional experience, and the overall financial strength of your business. The better these factors are, the smaller the cost will be.

Auto Dealer Bond Cost by Credit Score

How can you decrease your bond premium cost?

The most effective ways include:

  • Improving your credit score, credit is the first thing the underwriter will look at
  • Showcasing your liquid assets and strong financial statements
  • Carefully choosing your surety bond provider

    • Bryant Surety Bonds works only with A-rated, T-listed surety companies, which gives us access to exclusive bonding rates. Additionally, we’ll help you gather all needed documents that will improve your application and lower your costs.

    Bad Credit Program

    Even if you have less-than-perfect credit, or even bankruptcies, tax liens or civil judgments, Bryant Surety Bonds can help you get bonded. We operate a bad credit surety bond program, which helps high-risk applicants get the bonds they need.

    The bond premiums are slightly higher, typically between 5%-14%, in order to compensate for the risk level. We’ll consider your specific situation and will give you the best bonding option, so that you can stay in business and improve your finances.

    To get your exact bond price, you will have to supply a few required personal and financial documents. We’ll review your application, and assess the overall status of your business and the bond premium. And your bond is ready!
