GA motor carrier fuel tax bonds.
From $100. Apply to see your price.
Georgia participates in the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA), and the Department of Revenue can require a motor carrier to post a bond as a guarantee of fuel-tax payment. Most carriers never need one — when you do, the DOR sets the amount and pricing starts from $100. The application collects no credit information; most applications approve instantly, and if a check ever runs it’s a soft pull that won’t touch your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the fuel tax bond actually covers
Georgia is an IFTA base jurisdiction: interstate motor carriers based here report and pay fuel-use tax through a single Georgia license, filing quarterly with the Department of Revenue. Most carriers never post a bond — but the DOR can require one as a guarantee of fuel-tax payment.
A bond is generally required after a carrier files or pays late, falls behind on tax, or an account review indicates a guarantee is warranted. Under the IFTA rules, a carrier required to post a bond may be required to pay by certified funds until the guarantee is satisfied. The bond stands behind the fuel-use tax you owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it.
The amount is set by the Department of Revenue, tied to your fuel-tax liability for the reporting periods. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Pricing on the amount the DOR names starts from $100; the application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.
