National Travel Agency Bond Guide

What exactly is a Travel Agency Bond?
It is a three-party legally binding contract. You (the Principal) purchase the bond from an underwriter (the Surety) to protect the state and the public (the Obligee). It ensures compliance with industry regulations and protects consumers from financial harm.

Who strictly requires a Travel Agency Bond?
Most commercial bonds are legally mandated by a state Obligee, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Insurance, or the Contractor Licensing Board. These financial guarantees protect the public and the state from fraudulent business practices, negligence, and unpaid taxes. Our nationwide platform streamlines this process for you, ensuring you meet the exact penal sum required by your local obligee.

Where can i get a surety bond?
Applying for your Travel Agency Bond takes just a few minutes. Simply submit your application to our network of bond insurance companies. Because we work with national surety companies, we can secure approvals even if you need a cheap surety bond. Once issued, you can instantly download your bond or have a wet-signed original mailed to your business address.

Is a Travel Agency Bond the same as business bond insurance?
No. Unlike general liability insurance which protects your business, a surety bond strictly protects the public. With traditional insurance, the insurer absorbs the loss; with a surety bond, the underwriter is essentially extending you a line of credit. This is why obtaining a security bond requires a credit check, whereas standard business insurance generally does not.
