NV wrecker bonds.
$500 flat.
Nevada will not issue an automobile-wrecker license until the wrecker files a $50,000 bond with the DMV under NRS 487.060. Ours is $500 flat — identical for every wrecker, the price you see is the checkout price. A soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry — e-signed in 1–2 business days.

What it is and who needs it.
What the wrecker bond actually guarantees
Nevada licenses automobile wreckers through the DMV under NRS Chapter 487. NRS 487.060 provides that no wrecker license issues until the applicant files a $50,000 corporate surety bond, approved as to form by the Attorney General, conditioned on conducting business without fraud or fraudulent representation and without violating the wrecker provisions of the chapter.
The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: any person injured by the wrecker’s violation of those provisions may apply to the Director for compensation from the bond. It’s a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Nevada with harmed parties as beneficiaries.
A wrecker licensed for five years or more in good standing may, by agreement with the Department, qualify for a reduced bond — but never below $5,000. Until then the amount is $50,000. We issue it at $500 flat with a quick soft credit check that never affects your score; if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
