CT leasing & rental bonds.
$150 flat.
Connecticut requires a motor vehicle leasing or rental licensee to file a $15,000 bond with the DMV (form K-158) under C.G.S. 14-15. Ours is $150 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, identical for every licensee, and the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Connecticut licenses motor vehicle leasing and rental companies through the DMV under C.G.S. 14-15. A company that leases or rents vehicles for periods of thirty days or more must file a $15,000 surety bond on form K-158 as a condition of the license.
The bond is a compliance guarantee: it is conditioned on the licensee following the state and federal laws and regulations governing the leasing and rental business. If the licensee violates those laws and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Note the DMV also requires proof of financial responsibility (a separate insurance certificate) alongside this bond; the two are different filings.
