HI non-signatory carriers bonds.
$300 flat. Five minutes.
Hawaii motor carriers must file evidence of cargo and baggage liability security with the Public Utilities Commission. When a carrier is not signatory to an approved protection agreement, it files this fixed $10,000 bond instead — ours is $300 flat, 3% of the bond amount, with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Hawaii motor carriers are regulated by the Public Utilities Commission under HRS chapter 271 (and chapter 271G for contract carriers), with the operating rules in Hawaii Administrative Rules chapter 6-62. Before using the public highways, a carrier must file evidence of security — both public-liability security and, separately, cargo and baggage liability security.
Many carriers satisfy the cargo/baggage requirement by being signatory to an approved protection or insurance agreement. A carrier that is not signatory to such an agreement files its own security instead — and the standard fixed-amount form of that security is this $10,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — the bond stands behind your obligation to compensate shippers and passengers for cargo or baggage loss, and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Confirm with the PUC that the $10,000 non-signatory form is what your filing requires; then we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
