About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the concessionaire bond actually covers

A concessionaire bond is a contract-performance guarantee. When a public agency lets a vendor run a concession on public land — a food stand at a state park, a marina, a lodge restaurant, a golf-course pro shop — it often conditions the concession agreement on a surety bond standing behind the vendor's obligations.

In Oklahoma, the contracting authority is frequently the Tourism and Recreation Department (which oversees state parks, lodges, and golf courses), but it can be any agency or local body that grants the concession. The bond protects the agency against losses if the concessionaire fails to perform, pay required fees, or vacate properly.

Because the requirement comes from the agreement rather than a single statute, the amount is whatever your contract names. Enter that figure and we quote your exact premium, starting from $100, with one soft credit pull that informs approval and pricing but is never a hard inquiry.

Set by the concession agreementAn Oklahoma concessionaire bond is generally required by the terms of the concession agreement rather than a single named statute. The Tourism and Recreation Department (under Title 74) and other agencies that grant concessions set the bond amount and form in the contract. Confirm the required amount and any specified bond form with the agency before you file.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Oklahoma concessionaire bond?Premiums are 2% of your bond amount with a $100 minimum. The amount itself is set by your concession agreement — there is no single statewide figure. Enter the amount your contract names at the application to see your exact price.

Who requires this bond?The agency that grants your concession — often the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department for state-park, lodge, and golf-course concessions, but it can be any public body. The requirement is set in your concession agreement.

Is there a credit check?Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score and is never a hard inquiry. It is the only extra step beyond the application; premiums are priced at 2% of the bond amount with a $100 minimum.

What does the bond protect against?It backs your concession agreement — that you perform, pay the fees you owe the agency, and meet the contract terms. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety; it is not insurance for you.

What amount should I choose if I'm not sure?Ask the contracting agency for the exact figure named in your concession agreement — there is no statewide default. Send us the agreement and we will confirm the amount and any specified bond form.

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.
