What it is and who needs it.
What the toll bond actually covers
The Ohio Turnpike & Infrastructure Commission offers a postpaid E-ZPass account to high-volume customers — typically commercial fleets — who are invoiced monthly for their tolls rather than drawing down a prepaid balance. Because the Commission extends that credit, it requires a surety bond as security.
Per the Commission's postpaid account terms, a postpaid account generally requires at least $1,000 of annual Turnpike usage and a surety bond equal to roughly three months of tolls, or a $3,000 minimum, whichever is greater. The bond guarantees the tolls and fees you owe if you don't pay an invoice.
This is a financial-guarantee bond to the Commission, not a state license bond. If you fail to pay your toll invoices, the Commission can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the Commission set, at a price starting from $100.

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.
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
File with the Turnpike Commission. Submit the executed bond with your E-ZPass postpaid account application to the Ohio Turnpike & Infrastructure Commission. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $15,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
