What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Virginia licenses driver training schools through the DMV under Title 46.2, Chapter 17. A Class B license is required of schools that train students in operating motor vehicles other than motorcycles and commercial motor vehicles — the ordinary teen and adult driver education program — and the applicant must file a $5,000 surety bond payable to the Commonwealth.
The bond is conditioned to protect the contractual rights of students and to indemnify anyone harmed by the school's violation of Chapter 17 or by fraud or misrepresentation. It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the Commonwealth (the obligee), with your students as the protected parties.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Schools that honor their enrollment contracts treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

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 $5,000 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
File with the DMV. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Class B driver training school license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
