New Jersey vehicle leasing bonds.
$100 flat.
New Jersey requires every licensed vehicle leasing company to file a $10,000 bond with the Motor Vehicle Commission, in favor of the State. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier’s rate book, identical for every company. A soft credit pull may apply; the bond is issued when you pay.

How much does a New Jersey vehicle leasing bond cost?
$100 at the $10,000 amount, the same for every applicant.
Three steps to licensed.
Your leasing license is waiting on this bond. Here is the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Jersey licenses vehicle leasing companies through the Motor Vehicle Commission and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond in favor of the State. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee backing the company’s compliance with New Jersey law on titles, taxes, fees, and lease terms.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of New Jersey together with harmed lessees (the protected parties). If a company fails to handle title, taxes, or fees properly, or otherwise violates the licensing rules, the harmed party can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
The amount is fixed at $10,000. The original bond is filed with the MVC Business Licensing Services Bureau after preliminary license approval, and it must stay active for your license. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your filing stays continuous.

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 $10,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or 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.
