Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry — and the bond is issued when you pay.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission licenses recreational products dealers — sellers of products like boats, motorcycles, ATVs, and similar recreational vehicles. When such a dealer also operates a used motor vehicle facility, the Commission requires a separate $10,000 bond on that facility.
The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with Louisiana's motor vehicle dealer law at that facility. If the facility's covered conduct harms a customer or violates the statute, the harmed party can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Failure to maintain the bond can suspend the license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your facility filing continuous.
