The Oklahoma Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing Commission, previously known as the Used Motor Vehicle and Parts Commission, requires used and wholesale motor vehicle dealers to hold a surety bond to be licensed. The surety bond is mandatory as consumer protection coverage from unlawful and fraudulent actions of dealers.
Auto dealers can get this surety bond in a couple of minutes. Start now!
Jet studies the car business to sniff out the shady shops that cause all of the claims, allowing us to lower bond prices for Oklahoma dealers.
Other bond providers just run a generic credit check, which opens the floodgates causing quality dealers to unfairly subsidize the deadbeats with an inflated premium.
We think honest dealers with solid business practices should get to save on their bond.
Vehicle crushers, rebuilders, wholesale dealers, and auctions also need a surety bond to be licensed. Those selling brand-new vehicles (franchise dealers) are not included in this requirement and do not need a surety bond.
That depends on which bond you need, but for the $25,000 used auto dealer bond, rates start at $10 a month or $175 for the two-year term. The cost of the bons is based on the applicant's credit (soft check), years in business as well as the dealership's practices.
Additional license types and their starting rates can be found in the chart below.
Bond Type | Bond Limit | Monthly | 2-Year Term |
---|---|---|---|
Used Motor Vehicle Dealer | $25,000 | $10 | $175 |
Wholesale Dealer | $25,000 | $10 | $175 |
Rebuilder | $15,000 | $12 | $210 |
Crusher | $25,000 | $20 | $350 |
Auction | $50,000 | $20 | $350 |
We give you the option to purchase your bond on a monthly subscription basis, starting at just $10. There is no down payment required.
We are the only surety company willing and able to allow you to pay for the 2-year bond month-to-month.
Unlike other providers who require you to pay the full two years upfront and won't refund the premium if you need to cancel midterm, with Jet you can cancel anytime with a simple chat, email or phone call.
Additionally, our direct distribution model cuts out middlemen, along with the unnecessary fees and commissions, while providing you with convenient monthly rates and discounted two-year rates.
Used vehicle dealers, crushers, rebuilders, wholesale dealers, and auctions all present some risk to the public, just like any other business that works with people. And just like all businesses, there are specific regulations in place to protect the public, such as surety bonds. Surety bonds address risks associated with fraud, negligence and unlawful actions of dealers that cause financial damages.
Surety bonds for motor vehicle businesses offer a means of restitution to individuals who are financially harmed by a business's actions. For example, if a dealer rolls back the odometer on a vehicle to sell it at a lower price, the customer can file a claim on the dealer license bond to recover damages as the car is worth less than they paid as the mileage was actually hire than advertised.
Several other laws are in place to protect Oklahoma’s citizens when working with the various motor vehicle business types, which are laid out in Oklahoma Statues Citationized, Title 47, Chapter 62A.
Whether you need an Auction Bond, Dealer Bond, Rebuilder Bond, or Crusher Bond, the process only takes a few minutes. Once you’ve submitted the necessary information and completed payment, your bond will be available for download, along with your receipt.

The Oklahoma Auto Dealer Bond has a common expiration date of December 31st on odd years. The Commission apparently only wants to process this requirement once every two years. This means you will need to renew you bond prior to that date on the proper year. Jet will send plenty of notice to you prior to that date.
If you are a manufactured home dealer, manufactured home park dealer, or manufactured home manufacturer, you’ll need a surety bond. Call Jet at (405) 324-5495 to get a quote. More information can be found on the Manufactured Home Forms webpage.
