The Vehicle or Vessel Dealer Bond is a surety bond required by the State of Idaho for motor vehicle dealers who sell new vehicles or both new and used vehicles. This bond ensures that dealers comply with Idaho's motor vehicle dealer laws and regulations.
Who Needs This Bond: Motor vehicle dealers operating in Idaho who sell new vehicles or a combination of new and used vehicles must obtain this bond as part of their licensing requirements. The bond amount depends on the dealer's classification - Class 3 dealers require either $10,000 or $20,000 coverage, while Class 4 dealers must carry $40,000 coverage.

FAQ
Idaho Auto Dealer Bond Questions
The cost of a Idaho auto dealer bond is usually a small percentage of the state-required bond amount. Your exact premium depends on the bond amount, license type, business details, and underwriting factors such as credit.
Many auto dealer bonds can be issued the same day after you complete the application. Larger bond amounts or applications that need underwriting review may take longer.
Requirements vary by license type, but most Idaho auto dealers need to complete a short application and purchase the bond amount required by the state before their license can be issued or renewed.
Often, yes. Many states have separate bond requirements for wholesale, retail, broker, or other dealer license types. Choose the bond that matches your Idaho license instructions.
