LA inspection station bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Louisiana can require an official motor vehicle inspection station to post a $5,000 bond with the Department of Public Safety, Office of State Police. At 3% the math lands below our floor, so ours is $275 flat — the minimum premium — with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Louisiana's periodic motor vehicle inspection program is run by the Department of Public Safety, Office of State Police. When the program director appoints an official inspection station, the station can be required to post a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of its permit.
The bond is a customer-protection guarantee: it is conditioned on the station making compensation for any damage to a vehicle during an inspection or adjustment caused by the negligence of the station or its employees. Your customers are the protected parties.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond stays on file with your permit; we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your inspection authority never lapses.
