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 a $1,000 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.

After you buy

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 $100,000 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.

How to file it

E-sign & file with the Insurance Department. Pay online and receive the executed $100,000 bond, ready to file with your motor service club license application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $1,000 at the $100,000 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.

One application, issued instantly.

These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is issued when you pay.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I pay the $100,000?No. You pay $1,000 — the flat price for this bond. 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 $1,000 a year instead of tying up $50,000 of your capital.
Is there a credit check?Yes: one soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score. It is the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The price stays $1,000 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.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
