Arizona IFTA bonds.
From $100.
The bond the ADOT Motor Vehicle Division can require from an Arizona IFTA licensee as a guarantee of fuel-tax reporting and payment. Most carriers never need one — when the MVD does require it, the Director sets the amount, and we price it at 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; no credit check up to $10,000.

What it is and who needs it.
What the IFTA bond actually covers
Arizona participates in the International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA), administered here by the ADOT Motor Vehicle Division. IFTA lets an interstate motor carrier report and pay fuel-use tax through a single base-state license. Most carriers never post a bond — but the MVD can require one as a financial guarantee.
A bond is typically required when a carrier has no Arizona account history, a non-favorable record in another IFTA jurisdiction, or the MVD Director determines the interests of the state or member jurisdictions are at risk. The amount is set by the Director — a starting figure around $3,250 is common for first-time or higher-risk accounts, scaling up with exposure.
The bond stands behind the fuel-use tax you report and owe — if you fail to remit, the state can recover against it. Whatever amount the MVD set, we issue it from $100, and no credit check up to $10,000. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Motor Vehicle Division. Submit the executed bond to satisfy your IFTA license condition. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the MVD insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
