What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An automobile motor service club sells memberships promising services like roadside assistance, towing, and bail or arrest bond reimbursement. Virginia regulates the clubs and their agents through the State Corporation Commission's Bureau of Insurance under Title 38.2, Chapter 18, and conditions a motor club agent's license on a $30,000 bond running to the Commonwealth.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Commonwealth of Virginia (the obligee), with members and the club as the protected parties. If an agent mishandles membership money or violates the motor club laws, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Agents who handle membership funds properly treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
