Auto Dealer Bond Definition

by Surety Admin 23. November 2011 07:13
An Auto Dealer Bond is required by most states. Also called an MVD Bond, it ensures that all motor vehicle dealers operate according to the guidelines set forth by the state in which they operate. It protects the public from any wrongful actions on the part of a dealer. This auto sales bond specifically guarantees compliance with state law, payment of taxes, and in some cases, payment of judgments. The fund amount varies by state and can have a range of different requirements. Motor vehicle dealer bonds are also required for dealers of other types of vehicles, including mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and motorcycle dealers.  

We have special bond programs available for car dealers, including those with bad credit.  Apply for an Auto Dealer Bond online now.
