Getting a Dealer Bond Shouldn't Feel Like This
"I tried other companies — they couldn't even give me a quote for up to a week. I was waiting on different people in the office going through another company to get approval."
"We kept getting denied from every other bonding company we reached out to — including two we'd used before. Our contractor's license was at stake and we almost lost three huge projects."
"Another company quoted us 8 times higher for the same bond. The other company I'd been with for 20 years — and someone came in and cut my premium in half."
"Chris got it done!! Not only did he get it done, but he got it done in a nick of time before we lost three huge projects that would have been detrimental to our company. I HIGHLY recommend using this company."

Why Dealers Stop Shopping Around After Working With Us Once
Whether you've been denied elsewhere, overpaying on renewal, or just need a bond fast before your dealer license application deadline — here's what's different about Bonding Solutions.
Same-Day Delivery Isn't a Promise — It's the Norm
While other bonding companies route you through departments and wait on approvals, our agents are authorized to move fast. Most auto dealer bonds are issued the same day you apply — often within hours. "I had my bond in 6 hours. Talk about relentless determination."
Bad Credit Doesn't Disqualify You Here
A low credit score is one of the most common reasons dealers get turned away. Our agents specialize in finding surety companies that look past a single credit check and approve based on the full picture. Don't let a credit score stop you from getting your dealer license.
Your Current Bond Premium May Be Too High
Dealers who've been with the same bonding company for years are often quietly overpaying. We shop your bond across multiple surety companies to find the lowest rate. "I had a bond with Merchant Bonding for 20 years. Chris cut my premium in half."
No Financials. No Runaround. Just a Bond Form and Go.
We don't require financial statements for standard auto dealer license bonds. Fill out the application, get your quote, pay online, and receive your license bond by email. Note: a dealer license bond is a surety bond — separate from garage liability insurance, which covers physical damage. We'll make sure you have the right bond form. "They had great pricing without running financials. I don't get why anyone would have to submit financials. We aren't buying a house."

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dealer bond and why do I need one?
A dealer bond — also called an auto dealer surety bond or motor vehicle dealer bond — is a license bond required by your state's DMV or obligee (the state agency named on the bond) before you can obtain a dealer license. It is not an insurance company policy; it is a three-party guarantee that protects consumers and the state against financial harm caused by a dealer's misconduct or failure to meet licensing requirements. If bond claims are filed and validated, the surety company pays the claimant — and the dealer must reimburse the surety in full.
How much does a dealer bond cost?
Auto dealer bond cost is determined by your state's required bond amount and your personal credit score. Bond premiums are typically 1–3% of the total bond amount per year for applicants with strong credit. For example, a $25,000 auto dealer bond might cost $250–$750 annually. Applicants with challenged credit may see higher bond pricing. Get a free quote from Bonding Solutions — we shop multiple surety companies to find the best rate for your situation.
Can I get a dealer bond with bad credit?
Yes. While many surety companies require a minimum credit score, Bonding Solutions works with underwriters that specialize in approving bonds for applicants with challenged credit histories. A low credit score increases your bond premium but does not disqualify you. Our agents have helped dealers who were turned down by multiple other bonding companies — and gotten their bonds issued the same day.
How long does it take to get my dealer bond online?
Most standard auto dealer bonds are issued the same day you apply — often within a few hours. The bonding process is straightforward: complete the online application process, receive your quote, pay online, and receive your bond form by email. For dealers who need a physical copy, overnight delivery is available. You don't need to wait days or be transferred through multiple departments.
What bond amount does my state require for a dealer license?
Bond amounts vary by state and license type. Common bond amounts range from $10,000 to $100,000. For example, Florida dealer bonds are typically $25,000; Texas motor vehicle dealer bonds are $25,000; California auto dealer bonds are $10,000. Your obligee — the state DMV, MVD, or licensing board named on your auto dealer license application — will specify the required bond amount. Our agents can help you confirm the correct amount before you apply.
What types of dealer bonds do you offer?
We issue all major types of dealer surety bonds, including: auto dealer bonds, used car dealer bonds, wholesale dealer bonds, motorcycle dealer bonds, RV dealer bonds, and salvage dealer bonds. We also handle related commercial bonds for larger dealership operations. Some dealers also need bonded title or vehicle title bonds for rebuilt or non-titled vehicles — we handle those too. If you're unsure which bond type your dealer license application requires, our agents will identify the correct bond form.
Do I need to submit financial statements to get bonded?
For most standard auto dealer license bonds, no financial statements are required. The underwriting process primarily relies on a soft credit check. Larger bond amounts or specialty commercial bonds may require additional documentation — but for the typical dealer license bond, you can apply, get approved, and receive your bond without running financials. Keep in mind: a dealer license bond is a surety bond, not a garage liability insurance policy. If you need both, ask our agents — we can point you in the right direction.
How do I renew my dealer bond?
Most auto dealer surety bonds are written on a one-year bond term, though multi-year terms are available at a discount. Bonding Solutions sends renewal reminders before your bond term expires — so your bond never lapses and your dealer license stays in good standing throughout the licensing process. Renewal is simple: we re-quote your bond, shop it across surety companies, and issue your renewal bond form. Many dealers save money at renewal.
