OK motor service club bonds.
$3,000 flat. Soft pull.

Oklahoma requires every motor service club — auto clubs selling roadside-assistance and travel memberships — to file a $100,000 surety bond with the Insurance Department before it can sell memberships. Ours is $3,000 flat (3% of the bond amount), with one soft credit pull that never affects your score.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the motor service club bond guarantees

Oklahoma regulates motor service clubs — companies that sell memberships promising roadside assistance, towing, travel services, bail-bond reimbursement, and similar benefits — through the Insurance Department. Before a club can sell memberships in the state, it must post a $100,000 surety bond.

Under the motor service club provisions of Title 36 (§3101 et seq.), the bond secures the club's faithful performance of its statutory duties in the sale of memberships, its business obligations, and any fines or penalties it incurs for non-compliance. It protects members and the state, not the club.

The statute lets a club deposit $50,000 in approved cash or securities instead of the bond — but the surety bond is far cheaper, because you pay the 3% premium rather than tying up cash. It is a three-party guarantee: if the surety pays a claim, the club repays the surety.

Title 36, §3101 et seq. (Motor Service Clubs)Oklahoma's motor service club law (Title 36, §3101 et seq.) requires a club, before receiving a license from the Insurance Department, to file a $100,000 surety bond securing faithful performance of its statutory duties in the sale of memberships, its business obligations, and any fines or penalties for non-compliance. A club may alternatively deposit $50,000 in approved cash or securities. Confirm the amount on your application — the standard bond is $100,000.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Do I pay the $100,000? +
No. You pay $3,000 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $100,000 is the surety's maximum liability to members and the state; it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Oklahoma Insurance Department, under the motor service club law (Title 36, §3101 et seq.), as a condition of a motor service club license. No active bond (or the $50,000 cash deposit alternative), no license.
Can I deposit cash instead? +
The statute lets a club deposit $50,000 in approved cash or securities in lieu of the bond. Almost no one does — the surety bond costs $3,000 a year instead of tying up $50,000 of your capital.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It is the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
When does it renew? +
Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, with autopay available, and the bond must stay active for your license to stay valid.
