GA motor carrier C.O.D. bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Georgia household-goods carriers that collect charges on delivery (C.O.D.) file a $5,000 bond guaranteeing they hand the money over rather than keep it. At 3% that would be $150, so it lands at our $275 minimum — and there is no credit check on this bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the C.O.D. bond actually guarantees
Georgia regulates household-goods movers as motor carriers under the Georgia Motor Carrier Act (O.C.G.A. Title 40, Chapter 1, Article 3) and the household-goods carrier rules (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. Chapter 515-16-6). When a carrier collects payment on delivery — C.O.D. — it is holding a customer's money, and a bond stands behind it.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Georgia together with the shipping public (the protected parties). If a carrier collects C.O.D. charges and fails to account for or remit them, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Carriers who deliver and remit on time treat the bond as a filing formality, not a risk. The amount is fixed at $5,000, so the price is fixed too.
