Jet Insurance Company provides the Lost Title Bond to the applicant as an assurance to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that they will not be held liable for unknowingly lost or stolen vehicles that have received a new certificate of title. The surety bond also acts as a financial guarantee for the public in cases where the true owner of the vehicles comes forward and is seeking restitution for losses incurred.

What Is the Bond Amount and Price for the Nevada Lost Title Bond?

The custom bond limit is determined by the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles and is mandated to be equal to 1.5 times the value of the vehicle according to the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) or 25% of the MSRP if it is a salvage vehicle.

At Jet, prices for the Vehicle Lost Title Bond are based on a small percentage of the custom bond limit and the personal credit score of the applicant. For example, a $5,000 bond can cost as low as $100 for the required three-year term at Jet. Refer to the chart below for additional custom bond limits and Jet’s preferred tier price options.

How to Avoid Nevada Lost Title Bond Claims?

According to the Nevada Revised Statutes Chapter 482, the Lost Title Bond applies to individuals who are unable to provide an original certificate of title (or other proof of ownership) for their vehicle to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles; it is also typical for the individual to not be able to get into contact with the previous owner of the vehicle for all necessary documentation.

In such cases, the individual will apply for a Vehicle Bond Affidavit through the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicle Title Research Section. Upon application, the vehicle in question will go through an inspection, vehicle theft investigation, and brand history search. If the vehicle passes, the individual can receive a new certificate of title, but only if they file the required bond with the DMV and keep said bond active for three consecutive years.

It is rare for a claim to be filed on the Lost Title Bond, but this may occur if the true owner comes forward seeking restitution for their lost or stolen vehicle. The damaged party will have to take civil action against the individual, and if the court rules in favor of the claimant, the bond will cover the estimated value of the car and/or losses incurred. 

If you receive a court-ordered bond claim notice, immediately contact Jet with all available vehicle/claim information and documentation. These resources will be used for our own review and investigation of the accused violation.

In cases where the claim is found to be justified, Jet is legally obligated per the Vehicle Bond Affidavit form to make payment up to the custom bond amount?claim payouts will not exceed the surety bond’s limit. You are ultimately held responsible for your actions and are required to reimburse Jet for the claim payout made on your behalf. Failure to do so will lead to future difficulties in acquiring surety bonds in the State of Nevada.
