Auto dealer surety bonds (also called motor vehicle dealer bonds) are mandated by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJMVC) as part of the licensing requirements for dealerships to conduct business in the state. The total bond amount is $10,000 for all types of car dealers.
The surety company determines your premium rate, which is the percentage of the total bond amount you pay as the premium. Premium rates for New Jersey auto dealer bonds typically cost between 1% and 3% of the total bond amount.
During the application process, the surety company evaluates your personal credit, financial statements, industry experience, and licensing history. Applicants with good credit generally receive the lowest rates, however, bad credit will not prevent you from securing a New Jersey auto dealer bond.
