Jet studies the car business to sniff out the shady shops that cause all of the claims, allowing us to lower bond prices for Washington 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.

We also provide dealers direct access to surety underwriters and claims handlers without any agents or brokers in the middle. Eliminating the middleman dramatically simplifies the bond purchase and filing process with the lowest rates, no down payment, a no-obligation monthly payment option, and the best defense should anyone ever make a claim on your bond.

What Is the Best Price for the Washington Auto Dealer Bond?

The price is determined based on the dealer’s personal credit, years of experience, and bond limit. For the $30,000 Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond, rates start at $196 for one year and $23 monthly. Starting prices for additional bond limits are shown in the chart below.

What’s the Purpose of Dealer License Bonds?

The main intent of any surety bond is to afford protection to the public and the obligee (regulatory agency) against principal (dealer) wrongdoings that lead to financial harm. In the case of Washington Auto Dealer Bonds, on paper referred to as “Vehicle/Vessel Dealer, Vehicle Manufacturer, Registered Tow Truck Operator, or Wrecker Business Bond”, the Department of Licensing enforces this as a way for the public and themselves to be protected from fraudulent and negligent vehicle business actions—for example, a vehicle dealer tampering with the odometer. By the way, all 50 states require dealers to be bonded in some capacity.

Several regulations are in place to protect the public from dealers, manufacturers, wreckers, and tow truck operators, which can be found in Washington State Legislature, Title 46, Chapter 46.70.
