There are different ways to reduce your premiums
As we said, different agencies can offer different rates. Some surety agencies such as Bryant Surety Bonds have established connections and partnerships with many different underwriters. Since every underwriter will have different requirements, we can send your application to all of them and choose the one that offers the lowest premiums.
Furthermore, an experienced agent can work with you on improving your application. Sometimes sureties are willing to look into other details besides your credit score when determining premiums. Such details can be your industry experience, which shows trustworthiness or your financial statements which demonstrate that you are capable of paying off potential claims.
Be proactive about your license renewal
Don’t forget that renewing your New Jersey auto dealer bond is just one of the steps you need to take before you can submit your renewal application. Contact the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission and make a checklist of all paperwork you need to submit.
