About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the performance bond actually covers

A City of Terre Haute qualified towing service performance bond is a performance-and-compliance guarantee. To be on the city's approved towing rotation, the city wants assurance you'll handle towed and impounded vehicles properly, store them safely, and follow the city's towing requirements.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Terre Haute (the obligee). If a qualified towing service damages a vehicle, mishandles an impound, or fails to perform under the city's towing rules, the city — or a harmed vehicle owner — can recover against the bond.

We issue the amount the city set; pricing starts from $250. There is a quick soft credit check — it never affects your score, and never becomes a hard inquiry. It is not insurance for you — 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.

Renewal falls on the statutory date, October 8, in the year your term ends.

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

E-sign & file with the city. Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with the City of Terre Haute to qualify for its towing rotation. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is 3% of the bond amount, $250 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued instantly.

These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is issued when you pay.
