Alaska motorcycle dealer bonds.
$250 flat.

Alaska sets a $25,000 bond for dealers who sell only motorcycles — a reduced amount from the $100,000 general dealer bond. Ours is $250 flat, identical for every dealer, and the price you see is the checkout price. One soft credit pull; the bond is issued when you pay.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Alaska licenses motor vehicle dealers through the Division of Motor Vehicles and conditions the license on a surety bond. The general dealer bond is $100,000, but a dealer who sells only motorcycles files a reduced $25,000 bond. It is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Alaska's dealer laws.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Alaska together with harmed buyers (the protected parties). If a dealer commits fraud or otherwise violates the dealer statutes and someone is harmed, that person can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Dealers who keep clean records and deal honestly treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

AS 08.66.060 (motorcycle-only $25,000)Alaska Statutes 08.66.060 require a motor vehicle dealer to file a surety bond as a condition of licensure. The amount is generally $100,000, except that a dealer who sells only motorcycles files a $25,000 bond. The bond protects persons who suffer loss from a dealer's fraud or violation of the dealer statutes. Confirm your required amount with the DMV — if you sell more than motorcycles, a larger bond applies.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $250 flat. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the state and harmed buyers; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Why is mine $25,000 and not $100,000?Alaska sets a reduced $25,000 bond for dealers who sell only motorcycles. The $100,000 amount applies to general motor vehicle dealers. If you sell anything beyond motorcycles, confirm the larger amount with the DMV.
What does the bond guarantee?That you follow Alaska dealer law and deal honestly with buyers. If you commit fraud or violate the dealer statutes and someone is harmed, they can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check?Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The price is $250 either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your dealer license to stay valid.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
