About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the concessionaire bond actually covers

A concessionaire is a private business that operates on public property under contract — a vendor in a state park, a café in a government facility, or a company managing an amenity on public land. The agency that grants the concession commonly requires a performance bond guaranteeing the concession agreement.

The bond guarantees that you follow the terms of your contract — paying the fees or rent you owe, maintaining the premises, and meeting the service and safety standards the agency set. If you default and the public agency is harmed, it can recover against the bond.

Because the requirement comes from the contract rather than a single statute, the amount is whatever your agency names. For example, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department may require a bond of a state-park concessionaire under its administrative rules; other agencies set their own figures. Enter the amount you were asked for; premiums start from $100, with your exact price set at application and a soft credit check that never affects your score.

Concession contract / agency rule (amount set by the agency)A Texas concessionaire bond is a contract performance bond — the requirement and amount come from the agency you contract with rather than a single statewide statute. For example, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department rules (31 TAC Chapter 59) let the Department require a bond of a state-park concessionaire; other public agencies set their own terms in the concession agreement or solicitation. Use the amount named in your contract, and we'll issue it.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is a Texas concessionaire bond?Premiums are 2% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum — your exact price appears at the application. The bond amount itself is set by the agency you contract with — there is no single statewide figure. Enter the amount your contract requires to get started.
What amount should I choose?Use the exact figure your concession contract or solicitation names. It varies by agency and the size of the concession. If you are unsure, ask the agency administering the contract and send us the figure.
What does the bond guarantee?That you perform the concession contract — pay your fees or rent, maintain the premises, and meet the agency's service and safety standards. If you default and the agency is harmed, it can recover against the bond. If the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check?Yes — a quick soft credit check may apply, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
Is this a statewide license bond?No. A concessionaire bond is a contract performance bond required by the public agency you contract with — not a statewide license. The agency sets the amount and the terms in your concession agreement.
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.
